I would go for a standalone little thing, and then reuse gears assets for some kind of kinect controlled gladiator mode or something like that. Could be pretty cool to animate one of the bigger monsters with your own body.

Not in Gears 3. This sounds like a spin-off/cash-in, meaning it could be anything from a shooter to on-rails to gladiator combat as Arwin says to minigames. Could be a disc release or a download title. Could be Kinect DLC for Gears 3 using assets from the game. Could be vapourware rumour-mongery!

I think the simpsons did it before them
Steel Battalion!?!
Holy crap, a new Mech game would be sweet! And with a Kinect interface? I don't know what to say other than Holy Crap!
Yeah, it was announced at TGS IIRC. Here's a trailer though it really doesn't show much:

I imagine it to be a hybrid game since I can't see a full fledge mech game working well on Kinect alone.
I've read about people using dinner plates while playing and it working fine.

Oh, granted I haven't looked at any dedicated Kinectimals reviews, but I wasn't aware that you could use voice commands with the pets in Kinectimals. How well does that work overall? Especially with children who can potentially massacre some words.

I haven't had any problems with the voice commands but keep in mind I went through the additional voice recog tuning.
Kinect Sports boxing ... the kids figured out that if you hold your arms up and scissor your arms it is nearly impossible to block and gets rapid hits, stun, knock down. The only real defense I have found is to get 3 blocks (which means getting your health below half) and stunning them and speed bagging their head.
Ps- We had our first injury in Soccer. My wife and I cross kicked and the ridge of the right foot met her right shin as she was cross over kicking. Unfortunately I have bones akin to Wolverine and my delicate wife, well, she is still limping. Prediction: next up, kid getting clubbed by a hook in boxing. Man, this is as dangerous as playing outside

If your waist is thinner, then it's doing what it's supposed to do. Weight is the most overrated measurement. If your measurements are shrinking and your weight is staying the same, you're converting your weight to muscle, which is exactly what you want to do. You'll probably go through a period where your weight stays the same, and you put on muscle, before your weight starts to drop.

Still found that just getting a dog and walk with it help a lot just do a 5 km hike every night and when ready jog the 5 km the dog is a extra not a requirement
. Can't make gain without the pain.But i should not really give advice got back 10 kg of fat from the summer till now gonna cut again next month.
Even though I said above, I bought it today... along with Kinectimals, Dance Central and Kinect Sports.
Brief Impressions are:
1) Good looking piece of kit.
2) Slick, slick, slick user experience. Dashboard integration, even though it's not the full dash, is very well done. Yes, it takes longer than pushing a button, but it feels so much cooler. And that experience goes into the games to, with a simple to access version of the mini-dash in-game.
3) Games seem well produced. Just had a go at Adventures with the Au Pair and it was fun, but thin. Played a little Dance Central, Kinectimals and a quick go on all the events in Sports.
4) Dance central is as cool as expected, and I can see putting some time into that one.
5) Kinectimals is very cute, a lot more to do than I expected with a progression curve that has that "just get to the next bit before I stop" effect. Unfortunately I think it's too involved for my son (2 3/4) who I really bought it for. Still, I can see myself putting some hours into it myself.
6) Kinect Sports is stuffed full of personality, and it also has "Voiceover Man", which makes it an instant win. Unlike Sports Champions (the only Move game I bought) there seems to be a coherent feel to the experience and the game environments are anything but bare and sterile. Maybe it's a bit simple though, but I can see this becoming a great party game.
While I still have those same concerns about the variety of experience going forward (and I'm not suggesting "hardcore games", but hoping for something more than variations on Dance, Fitness and Minigame Collections) I'm surprised at how quickly I have come to enjoy Kinect.
I recently had a bit of a clearout of people on my friends list, and I'm down to a couple now. The reason is that I just couldn't find time to play online in core games.... or more that I couldn't commit to times. However, I'm probably going to send a few friends requests to some posters here 'cos (a) I presently have a lonely Xbox experience
and (b) maybe a little Kinect MP is what the doctor ordered. I need an excuse to play, as since quitting the ciggies some 6 months back I have piled on the lbs Anyway, if you get a request from me it's "Rotmm" and I will NOT be offended if the request is not accepted, so please don't feel obliged.

Yeah as Scott_Arm mentioned you're mainly in the process of converting low density fat into high density muscle. It's why the first 5-10 pounds is really easy to lose, but it gets more difficult until you're in some semblance of shape
Same thing happened to me. I haven't lost much weight, but I've lost a couple inches around my waist already as well as gaining a fair bit of stamina.
I need new clothes, but I'm holding off until I've gotten into better shape my waist isn't going down so drastically.

A while ago some guys I talked to complained that Joyride has auto-steering to compensate for lag, and that you weren't always in control of where the car was going. Now there's a guy showing this in a little more detail. I personally don't think it's that bad - this kind of subtle assistance is clever, and makes the game more accessible. If anything, I'd say good job playability team! But it is funny to look at.

Dam that Ai is good in racing
That video reminds me of that black ops video where going through a level without firing a gun is possible.

That the sort of Wii-ism that bugs me with ultra casual games. I understand the design philosophy, but those of us who pick up on such things tend to cheat the system. Like just waving a Wiimote wildly without developing skills. That he almost won without moving was kinda shocking! Anyone playing this? Any sense of how much control you have. Can you turn the car around and go the wrong way, or is it more about adjusting your position on the track as the car follows the course?
You can turn it around and go the wrong way.
Okay, so the assist isn't a game changer like rubberbanding aids can be. Sounds like sensible design for a title to be player by players of all skills.
[strike]With Kinect now released, the games for it deserve their own threads rather than being all mashed together, in the same way controller games have their own threads instead of being thrown into a "dual-stick controller games" thread! 
Thus the thread is closed to encourage releasing Kinect into the big, wide forum to run free.[/strike]
Thread reopened due to a phobia of creating threads for specific games.

Thanks Shifty; I don't disagree that it could get(is) muddled but I think the five or six of us who post in here will manage :smile:
