Among games in the works:

•Kinectimals lets you train and play with 20 different virtual cats, including a lion, cheetah and tiger.

•Joyride, a racing game, lets players use their hands to hold an imaginary steering wheel — pull your hands toward you and push back out for an acceleration boost — and their bodies to execute jumps and tricks.

•Kinect Sports has six activities including boxing, bowling, beach volleyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis. To serve a volleyball, you mimic the real motion; in soccer, you can kick the ball or do a header.

•Kinect Adventures includes a river-raft time trial and obstacle course, playable by up to four players. On the raft, playing as a duo, you and a partner must lean one way or another to steer. Jumping helps the raft reach special areas for extra points.

•Dance Central, in development by MTV Games, brings a So You Think You Can Dance experience home.

•Star Wars characters and iconic Disney favorites will be featured in separate new games being developed at Microsoft in conjunction with LucasArts and Disney.

Aw fucknuckles... so that is its name after all. Awful portmanteaus ahead.
 
How the hell will the dancing game judge you? Robots can only do one dance.

And i thought Move was a stupid name...

*Puts hand over head in disappointment* Why kinect?? Dear god whyyyyyy......

Kinectimals = ^____^ KIIITTTIIIIEEESSSS

" Kinectimals = ^____^ KIIITTTIIIIEEESSSS "

Who cares about the name...look at that list of games. Mini-game collections and a Just Dance rip-off. What the hell MS??

I actually like the name Kinect, better than the wave I think which was stupid

Kinectimals=Garanimals!!!

Well since the guys over at tested.com didn't care much for the Kin phone I worry even more about this. I understand the cross branding. But whats the point if it's just related to a phone no one really cares about. (Not that just because tested didn't like it means it's bad. But I'm sure someone would choose an iPhone or Incredible or something way better over the Kin.) 
 
I still don't like the way this whole Natal bizzness has come to be.

The USA Today link now has a video container that won't load for me.

Until they actually release a real game for Kinect/Natal/Wave,  I stand by...
 

God dammit, these motion controllers better not fuck up E3.

Ah...pseudo mods.  Gotta love them.  
 
Anyways, yo those games sound lame as hell. 
 

Kinectimals, really?

Yeah I'm just gonna go with Natal..... Sounds a whole lot better

Am I the only one that noticed Star Wars, which means LIGHTSABERS

" Am I the only one that noticed Star Wars, which means LIGHTSABERS "

Oh dear.
 
Well, let's hope they look better when they're shown.

Describing the games doesn't really answer my question which is 
 
IS IT FUN TO PLAY? 
 
I guess i'll have to watch the thing being used

" Describing the games doesn't really answer my question which is  IS IT FUN TO PLAY?  I guess i'll have to watch the thing being used "

Man,  maybe USA Today didn't think anyone would be able to  " KINECT"  the dots, and dropped their story too early.

Like Natal was any good.

At least with a star wars game I can finally put that iPhone app to some use.

What?!

The only way to really know that is to play it for yourself! "

All I see are two Wii Sports knockoffs, a Nintendogs knockoff, a Just Dance knockoff,  and a racing game that will probably control like shit. Here's hoping this is Microsoft's " Virtual Boy" moment and it is quickly forgotten.

I'm not really liking 'Kinect' as a name right now but maybe it'll grow on me. The selection of games though is... Worrying. I don't think these guys are going to be able to get one over on the Wii by making carbon copies of all its launch titles.
