Zero Punctuation: Kinect

Zero Punctuation: Kinect

(NSFW: Language) It was only a matter of time before Zero Punctuation’s snarky game reviewer would get his hands on a Microsoft Kinect. Take one guess: Do you think he actually enjoys it?

Rise of Nightmares: Mega64 Ad

Rise of Nightmares: Mega64 Ad

A commercial for Sega’s Kinect survival horror game Rise of Nightmares made by video game comedy duo Mega64. Wait, so does this mean the game isn’t available in our dimension? Also: SWAG.

Dumbest Use of Kinect

Dumbest Use of Kinect

The Kinect is filled with potential. It’s been used to control other gadgets and even help the disabled. And then there’s this profoundly depressing excuse for a video game. Hilarious, but still depressing.

Rise of Nightmares

Rise of Nightmares

We like where SEGA is going with Rise of Nightmares, a creepy zombie melee game that takes full advantage of the Xbox 360 Kinect. Think House of the Dead with gesture control.

Project Draco

Project Draco

Created by Yukio Futatsugi, the guy behind the classic SEGA Panzer Dragoon, this game also features flying dragons, but it plays with the Xbox 360 Kinect. It also does not remind us of Avatar.

Xbox 360: Kinect Bundle
