So anyone want to put odds on this being another shovelware kinect factory?

Pretty low I would say, but with MS you never know I suppose.

Shooter is a broad genre. Games like Rez, Sin and Punishment,  and Panzer Dragoon fall in that genre as well.

Enough 3rd parties doing that already. I think the idea is to get some quality Kinect games out.

Assuming such a thing is possible 

Its been done.

I don't consider teaching and tracking yoga positions and a game


coming from someone who probaily dont even own a kinect ... i own one

I have seen both, I don't really get impressed with games on rails, no matter how pretty the rails are (assuming it's even gameplay and not CG movie) maybe if it was a 99 cent iphone game or something but as a full retail? even xbl/psn game would be pushing it, as for steel batillion I suspect it will work better without kinect
