New way of playing! by Barbora Misakova

Well it has been a very long time since something really surprised me pleasantly. Usually when something new is created (some new device for instance) I hardly can say “wow” on it. But this time I have to admit this deserves more than just one “wow”. Microsoft is unveiling its new motion-sensing game system called “Kinect”. It was made for the Xbox console and it should be in the shops by November. Before that, it can be seen at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. So what is this miracle about? According to Microsoft (and I must agree), Kinect brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways. That means no co! ntroller is required. Everything is controlled and moved by your own body and body moves. “It is just the magic of you – your movement, your voice, your face, all effortlessly, naturally and beautifully transforming how you play and experience entertainment.” says official Microsoft’s introduction to Kinect. Now you know, what made me so surprised and excited – game that was designed to get you off the couch and into the game. Games such as “Dance Central”, “Kinect Sports” or “Zumba Fitness” were designed just to make your body move. Microsoft has unveiled Kinect just before the crucial Christmas shopping season and even though the price is not known yet, analysts estimate range from $50 to $200. Microsoft wants the Xbox 360 to be seen not just as a gaming device but as a hub of home video and Web entertainment. Except 15 game titles available at the time of the device’s launch, you can use it also for ! browsing on the internet, listening music or watching movies. ! Let̵ 7;s fun begin!
