Ths is the game that might convince me to finally buy Kinect, especially now that Child of Eden will be packed in as well.

Seemed like Comic Jumper for the Kinect as far as the trial game is concerned. Mind you, I watched someone else play it. Also, I hated playing Comic Jumper.

They told the Gunstringer origin story before. Did Ryan forget that they talked about it at a EA podcast?

You mean Fruit Ninja Kinect right? Or did they just announce something else?

Hardcore Kinect game? Sounds good, but this looks really easy. I mean compared to some of twisted pixels stuff in the past..
Well, I´m happy you can at least see the gunstringer character at all times (unlike Ms. Splosion Man, where EVERYTHING is purple)

Well that was disappointing, after all the talk the crew had about this being the only good Kinect game. Looks like it's pretty much a clunky on rails shooters, with some mediocre graphics. At least there's some occasionally fun looking parts, such as the bank shoot out.

So it's a Twisted Pixel game for sure. Average game notable for great FMV.

Looks really fun, but I would be spending $200 (or w/e the kinect costs) in order to play it, because every other kinect game looks like utter shit.

Oh shit Medibot and other Let's Play dudes are in this? That's super cool. If anyone wants a literal Endurancxe Run check their Sonic 2006 Let's Play. It's an amazing 24 hour experience filled with laughs, fun and frustration. Really good stuff.

Kinnect is an interesting piece of hardware but it completely falls down as a gaming peripheral. When your games shinny new controller can't handle something as basic as moving a character around on screen you know you have issues.

This totally illusrates why Kinect's sucks
 
First of all, it's a rail shooter and second, the dude is playing with an invisible controller. Both hands represent both sticks. How is it better than an actual fucking controller?

The problem with motion controls is it's like playing with a busted controller. "How come he didn't jump?" "You moved your hand slightly too slow." It's basically like trying to press a button and missing.

Twisted Pixel makes me proud to be from Texas.

The game looks like a must-own for Kinect owners. Seems they worked just enough story into a visually exciting packages with some simple but varied gameplay elements.

Graphics looks terrible and it still looks like it has quite a bit of slowdown. Lighting in it is boring in it too. :/

Accidental Police Squad homage at 26:50 - 26:59 is the best part.

It's like someone said "Dan, Ryan themes".

I'm with ya there. Looks pretty fun, but I'm never going to end up playing it.

Also, that Lloyd Kaufman video was priceless! Apparently a green screen will make anyone act super ridiculous. I think Whiskey Media is pretty much proof of this :)

This and Child of Eden are definitely the only Kinect games that appear interesting, and I love the Twisted Pixel style in here. Unfortunately that isn't enough to get me to buy a Kinect (much less rearrange my room to play it).
