The Kinect is Here!

As some of you may know the Kinect has hit stores and sold out the night of launch. Working for Best Buy, I got to try out this revolutionary device. It is revolutionary in ways because it removes the middle man (the controller). It is a way one can directly interact with a device without the use of controllers or a mice and keyboard; just by merely using hand gestures as well as audio programmable controls. I can say that it is a lot of fun, and in my opinion better than the Playstation Move and Wii. I played the kinect sports game and they are more accurate than the latter two, but still struggles with some inaccuracies here and there. I was extremely surprised of how it detects your full body, your posture, your hand, arm and leg movements. I played the soccer game, the bowling and the volleyball; all a lot of fun and tiring. The best part is that you choose everything using your hands without a controller, Minority Report style. Also it's great to look at all the video replays of how much people get into it. Once they're back in stock, I probably will be getting one. It is a workout; so for the hardcore gamers that use only controllers, you may not enjoy it because you maybe too used to leisurely playing from your couch. It is a lot of fun and only 150 bucks. Come check it out sometime! I give it two thumbs up!
