Brain Body connection with Dr. Kawashima and Namco characters.  Sounds like fun.

The whole Kinect recognising who it is seems to be very confusing.

Kinect still looks kinda broken. All the Kinect hacks online seem way more interesting than the actual games.

Alex's social commentary always makes my day. 
 
     "If you go to American public School, you have no future"
 
      "I doubt that the general population could handle the 24 hour clock"
 
Its funny cause its true...

the faulty video compression and artifacting is just a metaphor for the level of Kinect's readiness for gaming worth a damn.

Why didn't they use "x" for the unknown spot in the math thing, instead of a square, minor point but it looked kinda weird.

So is Your Fitness still the only Kinect game with an impressive unbroken UI?
 
I still can't get over how the kinect brings menu navigation back quite a few steps just in terms of accessibility. It always looks like a confusing clusterfuck.

You mean Your Shape? Also Dance Central had pretty decent UI.

Don't worry Brad, this isn't nearly as embarrasing as the Bulletstorm QL. This looks like a genuinely hard and confusingly presented game. :)

I could only watch a few minutes of this before turning it off. Watching people fumble with the kinect controls is frustrating at best, and this shovelware gameplay is flat out boring.
