Kinect, formerly known as Project Natal, is a hands free game console by Microsoft. It was intended to be a challenge to Wii. The question is will Kinect be able to revolutionize the gaming industry? Or will it fail miserably to server as a warning to aspiring game console developers?

In E3 2010 presented in June 2010, several Kinect games were presented. Some of the videos can be found at Tinkrbox, a video/website bookmarking website. Games such as racing, fighting, running etc. Naturally, as a hands free game console, playing games on Kinect would require body movement and having players to stand, walk or even jump. With this in mind, players would not be able to enjoy the game console while sitting down. According to an article by John C. Dvorak, compiled at Tinkrbox, playing games on hardwood floors will definitely be a problem. Player who would want to rest while playing video games would not find Kinect appealing.

However, younger gamers who are active would find this appealing. Kinect will be a blast at parties, where there are lots of movements. Sport game fans would find this appealing too. Tai-Chi fans too might find this product excellent for self training. And of course, tennis fans would like to get their hands on Kinect.
