    Kinect is a camera and depth sensor-based peripheral for the Xbox 360 that allows users to interact with and play games using their whole bodies, rather than using a standard controller.

    This could get a little creepy with friends.
    This could get a little creepy with friends.

    There's been a not-so-steady stream of games supporting Microsoft's Kinect device since its splashy launch. I still haven't plugged the thing back in since moving back to San Francisco, despite having been enthusiastic about the premise, especially Dance Central.

    Aaaaand while the concept is gimmicky, I'm sorta stoked at GameSetWatch stumbling upon a German ratings entry for Hole in the Wall.

    Hole in the Wall airs on Cartoon Network, best summarized by its own damn name. Contestants are forced to position themselves in ridiculous poses to pass through a...hole in the wall.

    The ratings entry listed Hole in the Wall as being a downloadable game for Kinect, which is something Microsoft has strangely shied away from in the moths after Kinect's launch. Getting a downloadable game up and running using Kinect's hardware might have proved less daunting and help fill software gaps.

    Looks that might change beginning at E3, though. Twisted Pixel Games has also announced a downloadable Kinect game, the awesome and bizarre-looking on-rails shooter, The Gunstringer.

    I'm pretty sure this was on the BBC for a while. It seemed pretty dumb though it seems to suit the Kinect.

    Isn't this game already on one of those Kinect mini-game compilations? The one that Ryan and Alex QL'ed; the last Kinect QL at that I think.

    Half the fun of that game (on TV) is watching too-large people try to smash themselves through a hold on a physical wall. Not sure it'd be as hilarious with a virtual wall, but it'd still be entertaining to pull out at parties.

    I preferred hole in the wall when it was only in Japan and we called it "Human Tetris". The British version is abysmal, but so is everything else on TV at 5PM on a Saturday.
