Kinect Adventures was the first game shown to consumers and reviewers; and is a series of mini adventures and essentially is a game full of obstacle courses. One of the main selling points will be the fun factor for the family, as many of the obstacles will involve team work and communication – jumping in synchronisation, and working together to find your way through dangerous rapids. While the Xbox 360 is usually for the more concentrated and intense gamers – those who want to play shooters for example, Kinect Adventures will offer gaming for children and families everywhere.

Kinect Sports will be one of the main releases for Microsoft’s new groundbreaking software in November 2010. It will in fact be released on the same day as the software itself, and it features a range of sports such as boxing, volleyball and bowling. It will of course be fairly similar to Nintendo’s popular release, Wii sports, but the game will possibly be more tiring than it’s rival. For example with the hurdling activity, the user will have to jump and run rather than simply wave a controller around, and so perhaps if you’re looking to lose a bit of weight then Kinect sports could be for you.

New Xbox 360 Kinect
In November 2010, the new Kinect software, and what Microsoft is calling “a controller-free gaming and entertainment experience”, will finally hit the stores. This system will allow users to interact and play without the need to physically touch a controller. How is this going to work? You operate the system using gestures and spoken commands.

Having been announced in 2009, the Kinect software was showcased and tested at an invitation only conference in Los Angeles and it was revealed that the software can recognize up to four people and can even pick out individual fingers if the user is close enough. With 48 points on the body recognized, the Kinect software seems revolutionary. Whilst the Wii opened up the market for motion sensor games, and Sony too have delved into this area of the market – Microsoft’s software, requiring no physical controller at all, is breaking into its own market.
For example, the way you would operate a racing game using the Kinect software would be to turn your hands as if gripping and turning a steering wheel. The device uses a 3D camera and movement recognition software to perform such feats, and other games include Grand slam tennis and even a Michael Jackson game.
With only months to go before the official release of the Kinect software, game developers are all busy making games compatible with the revolutionary step taken by Microsoft. Adding an exciting new way to play games should increase the number of people interested in the Xbox 360; intensifying the ongoing battle between rivals console makers – and this competition only means more games, more software and better entertainment for users.
