Games

EVERY NOW and again it’s nice to see something live up to the hype.

It doesn’t happen very often, especially in gaming.

Kinect (Xbox 360; RRP €149.99) really is a brilliant piece of technology, one that represents the future of interactive entertainment. In short, it bridges the gap between gamers and everyone else. The idea is simple enough – a camera scans your body and allows you to control games without a traditional pad. When you jump your on-screen character jumps too – when you bend your knees or wave a hand, so does your avatar.
