Microsoft Kinect Reviews

Kinect is Microsoft's answer to the Wii and competition to Playstation Move. I must admit, I hadn't actually heard of Playstation Move until I started researching games consoles in my decision to purchase one. In any case both of these two competitors require a remote to track motion; Kinect is the first to work with nothing. You are the ...  Read the complete review

Introduction There is no doubt in my mind, that Microsoft's 'Kinect' is technologically the most advanced hardware to be released for public consumption, probably ever, or at least the only one with a reasonable price tag! A bold claim, yes, but unlike other sophisticated hardware, the ability to provide 'full-body 3D ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Kinect a week after its release, I had preordered it and I collect it and was happy to see that a game came with it (Kinect Adventures). The setup was really easy as I have the Xbox 360 (s) which is the 250gb smaller version. The 360s has a special connection dedicated for the Kinect device, which supplies power ...  Read the complete review

My partner for ages was going on about the Microsoft Kinect (or Project Natal as it was to start with) and I never really saw the fascination with it. Other consoles have motion sensing technology and if this was all the Kinect did, I might as well have stuck with the Nintendo Wii. After much begging, I finally gave in and ...  Read the complete review

When I saw that the Xbox was launching its own version of the Wii I was very excited. Even more so when I heard that you would not need any control pads to use it. This new piece of kit works by a sensory picking up your body movements alone. Pretty amazing I thought! With Xmas fast approaching I thought this would be the perfect present ...  Read the complete review

At £129.99, you could argue that you may as well buy a Wii, but the Kinect is in a whole new league!!! Setting up the Kinect is a piece of cake, you can plug and play direct with the new Xbox or you ...  Read the complete review

I have just "recovered" from my first play test of Microsoft Kinect. I have been keeping a close eye on the new motion technologies from both Microsoft and Sony since the Nintendo Wii was successfully released a few years ago. Sony have the Playstation Move controller of which I'm due a play test shortly. However, it was the ...  Read the complete review

Ok i will just start with the fact that i reckon that this will be a huge hit for christmas. With the amount of xbox owners and the love of the nintendo wii i think it was obvious that the other big two of the gaming world would try there hand at getting gamers out of there seats. So obviously a decent review is needed here! so people ...  Read the complete review

At first i was very skeptical about this technology, i had my doubts. The Wii's motion sensing was revolutionary when it came out, but when the Playstation Move came out, it quickly overshadowed the Wii's motion sensing, offering far more accurate control over the game. Kinect however disposes with controllers and instead ...  Read the complete review

A new addition to the amazing 360, kinect is without a doubt the most amazing piece of gaming equipment to date, they said that you will no longer need a remote, they said you are the controller, but did they deliver? Absolutely! The Dashboard was given an update to prepare for the kinect HUD which in itself is ...  Read the complete review
