Free Xbox Kinect

Designed to compete with the Sony PlayStation Move and Nintendo's Wii remote, the Xbox Kinect allows an innovative wire-free gaming experience. We take a look at the origins of the system and review Kinect compatibility with older Xbox 360 consoles. We also take a look at the best new games.

>>> Free Xbox Kinect <<<

Xbox Kinect Origins

Project Natal was announced by Microsoft at the E3 technology show in June 2009 and officially became known as Kinect at the 2010 E3 show where the revised Xbox 360 slim was also announced. This new version included an additional Aux port that serves to combine the USB data and power supply required by the Kinect system.

Kinect Compatibility

Kinect is fully compatible with all versions of the Xbox 360 console ever sold. The only difference is that the more recent slim consoles have a dedicate Aux port allowing a single connection for the Kinect system whereas older units need to use a cable that splits into separate USB and AC power at the console end. These cables are supplied with the Kinect retail package.

Kinect Games

Although existing games were adapted for Kinect use during the development process, it is understood that modifying current games via a downloadable patch would take far to much work. As a result, a new breed of titles was developed for the Kinect launch.

Fifteen launch titles were announced by Microsoft. These are Sonic Free Riders from Sega, Kinect Adventures, Kinectimals, Kinect Joy Ride and Kinect Sports from Microsoft Game Studios, Dance Central by MTV Games, Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and Motion Sports from Ubisoft, EA Sports Active 2 from EA, Dance Masters and Adrenalin Misfits from Konami, Zumba Fitness from Majesco, Deca Sports Freedom from Hudson, The Biggest Loser: Ultimate Workout from THQ and Game Party: In Motion from entertainment giant Warner Bros.

Sonic Free Riders (Xbox 360) $29.99 Sonic the Hedgehog gears up for a motion-packed racing adventure in the third entry in the spinoff Sonic Riders series. The premise is pretty straightforward – Sonic likes to race. He ends up racing. Job done. The action takes place in a futuristic setting though, with our favourite SEGA mascots hopping on hoverboards to reach the chequered flag before their opponents. How Sonic Free Riders differs is in its use of the Xbox 360's Kinect peripheral, which allows for full body tracking to drop you right into the race. Standing side-on as if you're on a skateboard, brushing your foot against the floor gives you a speed boost while leaning back and forth allows you to turn sharp corners. A range of power-ups and items are available on the track, which can give you a suitable edge – activating them requires a different motion, adding to the experience. During certain races, you will need to change your position and do something else in order to progress – turn a lever left and right to control a minecart in one stage, and rotate your arms to swim through an underwater segment of another. Grab a friend and challenge them to a full-on race, side-by-side, and put those Marty McFly hoverboard skills to the ultimate test!
