Yesterday we spent some time messing around with the Kinect and a few of the launch titles. Hooking it up was quite easy, calibration a piece of cake, voice commands work fine, and it even recognized movement in a dimly lit room.
While Kinect Sports was quite fun to play, especially with two teams competing against each other, Dance Central was hilarious, and we established early on that Adam would be voted off in the first round of So You Think You Can Dance.
Prior to our escapades, we saw
Red, a funny action movie with Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parkerand Morgan Freeman. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It was good stuff.
