Kinect/Skyrim fans are in for a real treat, because Bethesda officially confirmed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is going to get Kinect support. This basically means you'll be able to "Fus Ro Dah!" your family members and send them flying right out the window...

Yeah, the whole pitch for Kinect Star Wars is that players will be able to experience Star Wars like never before. Well, that's true in a way. This is the first time you'll be able to "unleash your inner Jedi." Hm, I haven't talk to my 'inner Jedi' in centuries. Of course, he lives beyond the dune sea these days. He's kind of a strange old hermit.

Ah, yes, BioWare has incorporated Kinect support in their approaching action-flavored sci-fi adventure, Mass Effect 3:

Dear readers, I'd like to direct your attention to our latest voting poll, which is related to Microsoft's effort to bring to PCs (which they will be doing on February 1). So, if you're interested in this (or if you're not interested), we'd like to know. So... let us know. Will you be buying Kinect for PC? Absolutely. Are you mad? Maybe, I just don't know yet. Only if it makes porn more interesting. Place your votes to the right, as usual.

Microsoft has just made an official announcement that they intend to bring their gamepad-free motion control gaming device Kinect to PCs. The launch for Kinect PC is slated for next month, as revealed by MS during the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show...

I'm trying to think if controller-free environments such as the Kinect will ever become the standard. C'mon guys, I mean, at some point, Kinect -- or at least something similar to it -- is bound to become the standard, even for PCs. The mouse and keyboard are sure to be replaced sometime...

Hm, thought this was an acid trip. Now, this is... err, gaming? Oh well, it most definitely is. Just depends on how you look at it. At times it looks fascinating, then again other times it looks like a L'Oréal commercial. Either way, should you wish to play it, you're gonna have to own an Xbox 360, packed with Kinect device, so there...

Analysts were shocked when industry veteran Microsoft announced its acquisition of Internet phone service Skype for $8 billion. Rumors were flying around several months back about other major players looking to purchase Skype - Facebook, Google and Cisco Systems being the three chief candidates, all of which were aiming to integrate Skype into their own services...

Zumba Fitness continues to be the top-selling title across the United Kingdom. Here's the top 20 UK chart for the week ending April 16: 1. Zumba Fitness (505 Games) 2. LEGO Star Wars III: The CLone Wars (LucasArts) 3. Crysis 2 (EA) 4...

This is the game that outsold Crysis, LEGO Star Wars and the Pokemon games in the United Kingdom. Way to go Brits: Oh and here's the UK weekly sales chart: 1. Zumba Fitness - 505 Games 2. Crysis 2 - EA 3. Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars - LucasArts 4...

According to a marketing survey (thanks, Kotaku) straight from an anonymous source, the upcoming racer Forza Motorsport 4 is going to feature 500 vehicles from 80 manufacturers. Also, "by using Kinect for Xbox 360, racing fans can now use head tracking to peer into a corner or their voice to control the game menus and interface...

Microsoft has told ten million Kinects and ten million Kinect games (this does not count the default pre-packaged game that comes with the Kinect). Good for Microsoft, I imagine that the whole "Use the Kinect for whatever hell you want" policy has helped sell the device to the people who aren't buying games (a true 1:1 ratio seems suspect)...

Microsoft has really gotten on board with hacking the Kinect, to the extent that they will release a non-commercial Kinect for Windows SDK (software development kit) this spring for free over the internet. This SDK will open up programming the Kinect for all interested parties...

Kinect is causing Xbox 360s to experience the Red Ring of Death, or so says those showboats over at the BBC, like they're a good source for information. Damn liberal media, always telling consumers about bad products in a dramatic way. It makes me sick...

Microsoft has put the kibosh on the Kinect sex game. Microsoft said Kinect is a family product and that Microsoft would not tolerate adult games. So you can make a game where people actively simulate attempting to kill each other, but you can't make a game where you grope a woman. Makes perfect sense to me. Murder is a fun, wholesome activity. Sex is icky. Read more.
