Wow finally time to get a 360...but going to Uni means it'll have to stay at home.


I hope that was sarcasm Darth because after seeing the two new products (Natal games and 360 slim)....I would stay away during this Holiday. 

(Unless you mean getting the old 360....since it is on its way out....than I support you all the way.



 

Kinectimals? LMFAO!

well...Cant wait to see this one.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

wow those launch titles are totally worth the 150 dollar launch price I hope move fairs better otherwise we got nothing new here. 



I guess the terms of service will now include 'unlawful sexual kinection'.



Tease.

not bad games lineup, i hope kinect and move  give the wii a good run for its money



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

im trying not to judge to harshly so early on but, so far it seems very uninspired.

yes, it would be stupid to not copy the popular game concepts from the wii, but... they work on wii in a large part due to the presentation and packing. its cute. its fun. its not intimidating.... its effective for people who dont play video games. 

this is the same game concept but MS is taking them too serious. 360 avatars are bland and dont inspire anything creative or fun. mii's make a huge part of this in the wii sports games. these casual games gone hd always have a very plastic and bland look. it dosent work... your not "realistically" playing tennis or archery. your simulating the action. it needs to be a bit whimsical. it needs charm and character.

hopefully 3rd parties will understand this more and can deliver something better than what MS is showing so far... (i have to say the same for sony as well. move party/sports has the same issue).

secondly, you need something more than ___ party, sports, dance. its already been done and millions of people own these games. you HAVE to have something on the platform that breaks out of the mold a bit to get peoples attention. sports, racing, party and pet clones... aren't going to do it.

we'll have to see over the next few days how things unfold but its looking shaky so far...

RUMOR the more expensive version of Kinect could cost $189

Just a rumor for now



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

This just in! Microsoft announces Kinect The Dots!

OMG, GOTY!



I'm sure over at Microsoft headquarters they think it's wonderfully clever. It connects you, get it? And spelling lit like kinetic--it just conveys such a sense of energy! Plus, it has 'kin' in it! Like family!

Eh, misfire in my opinion. People aren't looking for clever, layered names: something simple and memorable works better. 'Move' is a little forgetable and bland, but I'd still rank it way above 'Kinect'. 

Plus, most people are not going to get the 'kinetic' associations, and will just think it's an intentionally misspelled version of 'connect' to appeal to teenagers or something dumb like that. 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.
