Kinect for Xbox 360 - you are the controller...
Nintendo started it all with the hugely popular Wii - physical movement of a controller to control gameplay.
Well, Microsoft (and soon Sony) are due to take that to a whole new level with the Kinect Sensor - movement to control a game, without a physical controller.
The Kinect system was previewed a few months back at the E3 Conference and looks like it will be bringing full motion gameplay to life within the Xbox 360.
What do Microsoft say about Kinect?
"Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways - no controller required. Easy to use and instantly fun, Kinect gets everyone off the couch moving, laughing and cheering. See a ball? Kick it. Control an HD movie with a wave of the hand. Want to join a friend in the fun? Simply jump in.
With Kinect technology evaporates, letting the natural magic in all of us shine. And the best part is Kinect works with every Xbox 360."
Gameplay without a controller?
That's right - The Kinect Sensor picks up to 48 parts of your body and detects movement from these.
The Kinect Sensor is due for release in November and will be available with the Kinect Adventures pack or as a bundle with an Xbox 360.
The Kinect could well change the way games are played and will certainly open new doors whilst attracting those that perhaps don't often play video games. Fitness games, dance games etc will be very well suited for the Kinect and early game releases appear to focus on these. But don't let that put you off as the Kinect is due to cater for regular gamers too, Star Wars Kinect looks to be an intriguing addition! We look forward to seeing how that works.
Whilst the Kinect is not out until November, you can now begin earning credits towards the Kinect to receive it for free from Xpango.
Oh and Playstation and Wii fans - don't worry! We will be covering the Wii Motion + and Playstation Move very shortly ;)
