One thing motion gaming brought back is party multiplayer with people in the same living room. Elitists on forums seem to think only long single player experiences are relevant and able to bring fun to gaming. SWK doesn't appeal to my tastes and I will not get the game but I understand Selnor's comments. When I buy games like Mass Effect (which is my fav series this gen) I don't invite friends or play with my family, it's only me playing alone and have a blast.

Kinect games (and Wii games) have the ability to get people together and have fun while playing a video game.

video games =/= long single player session, no motion control, must appeal to single males...

There are video games for every tastes and if you don't like then just pass by.


As for SW fans, I never took this series seriously. I don't think anyone should. It's fantasy setting is perfect to make fun of itself.

I lolled so hard though, and the song was epic.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

they really ought to include this song:



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

before motion gaming people were STILL playing multiplayer games, or are you gonna say that evey game prior to this gen is was SP?? Come on, man im just answering what you said.  Which was intially that motion gaming brought the multiplayer aspect back, which is complete crap.
as for the bolded, that has nothing to do with what you orginally said, 

I said that because games today are more online multiplayer oriented or 2 players locally... not a lot of them have the ability to gather more than 2-3 people at the same time. Motion games have that ability. Even those whose turn comes next still mimmick the movements, anyway you might not understand what I mean about having fun with the whole family... anyway you may not be the target of motion games... no need to spit on it.


Now you're making up crap, I never spat on it, i just corrected your original wrong statement.  I get having fun with the whole family, but there are only so much types of games you can play in that scenario. Dance, minigame comps, the arcade sports. Nothing wrong with that, but thats just about all the Kinect and to a lesser extent motion gaming is good for IMHO and the occasional FPS/lightgun game


I never got my whole family to play around a COD or a game at all, previous gens. This gen is different thanks to motion gaming that is all. You can't possibly believe that motion gaming didn't brought non gamers to gaming more than previous gens... seriously, you're kidding yourself if you do. SWK may have failed it doesn't mean devs should limit themselves to dance/sports/mini games. A game like Heavy Rain would benefit from motion controls, also games like Mass Effect but it takes time to make these games  so I'll wait.

I never said this, stop putting words in my mouth.  YOu couldnt get some buddies around to play some COD?? Thats your problem, doesnt mean that those games didnt have local MP. Your mum, dad and whatever didnt want to play those games?? Sucks. Its good that you can play games with your fam, more power too you, personally I play games so I dont have to talk to them but thats me.

Devs shouldnt limit themselves?? the damn Kinect is limited itself, its a damn camer. HR is a horrible example because that is a game that actually USES controls not camera gestures. A Mass Effect game running on JUST Kinect is not going to happen.  You are kidding yourself if you think the Kinect is capable of playing anything other than those genres you mentioned. And no im not talking about the mic option.  Maybe next gen when MS makes are more powerful Kinect.

Any game that lets me have fun with my kids and my mates is pure win. And Kinect Star Wars has been awesome at this. Just behind Kinect Sports Season 2 for best Kinect game yet.


The fact is, there are much better games out there you can have fun with your kids & mates. SW-Kinect is trash.


Please let me know. I own alot already. Star Wars Kinect is definately better than all but Kinect Sports Season 2.

I think he means buy a Wii.



Had a Wii for 3 years. Sold that a year ago.

I guess Kinect does have the better library of family games and support more genres...



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

without star wars licence the rating would be 3.0 points lower.
