    Hey lads, went in today and checked out Kinect; thought i'd pass the word on.

    Impressions :
    - there's a 0.5 second delay from you doing an action to the avatar doing it. Probably doesn't sound like much but i'd imagine in any non-casual game it'd make a difference!

    - the movement is approximately correct although it'll not register some positions you do

    - much like Wii Boxing, if you're moving too fast (eg running) it'll only pick up ~half your strides

    they had 2 games on show, running and a roller-coaster-carpet-ride thing where there's balloons and you have to move in position to hit them.

    anyway check it out, see what ya think.

    There's an official Kinect store on Grafton Street for a few weeks. It's got all 5 or so launch games, and Microsoft staff are there to answer any questions etc.

    It's beside McDonalds

    So far Kinect Adventures (the one with the carpet balloons!) is the most impressive, I've managed to try Kinect on three occassions and this is the game that's always stood out to me. Most interesting is to notice the improvements, first time I tried was back in July and compared to the instore demo we had last week the difference is incredible. I still wait to get my own to properly try it out but my interest is constantly increasing!
