Xbox 360 Kinect Games and Xbox Live: The Future Of Gaming Consoles

It has been a long standing argument by well-being experts that computer gaming leads to health problems such as obesity, heart troubles and cholesterol build-up because of the physical inactivity that computer gaming promotes. However, a decade ago, Sony Playstation introduced the Dance Pad which allows its players to move. With directional buttons in a mat, the player presses certain arrows using his feet depending on what is shown on the monitor and the effect will be like dancing. However, this is just limited to people who like to dance. Several years later, the now famous Nintendo Wii was released. Through this gaming console, one can move his arms and body to accomplish certain tasks. Games ranged from sports-oriented games like tennis, baseball, etc. But compared with its predecessor, there are games that are Role-playing oriented as well - which means that aside from sports-minded individuals, kids and adults who prefer a character-based game can play as well. However, just last November, Microsoft introduced its newest accessory to their famous Xbox – the Xbox Kinect. This gaming console allows a player to play without any hand-held device or any mat that needs to be stepped on. Yes, that’s right, it’s like what one of their tag-lines say - “You are the controller”. This gaming console only requires your body movements, gestures, face movements and voice to control! At the moment, there are only 17 Xbox 360 Kinect games available. But don’t worry – the wide variety of games makes sure that there will be a game that you will like. Any decent Kinect review will tell you about all the amazing features.

As of the moment, the 17 games will surely suit any person who wants to play with the use of Xbox Kinect. There are games like the Kinectimals that will surely be endearing for kids. The objective of this game is to raise a pet and go on an adventure with it.

Lastly, for RPG-buffs, the videogame adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will give you a chance to relive the story once again.

Not Only For Gaming

Xbox Kinect isn’t only for those who like to play computer games. With Xbox Live, Kinect can be used to watch a variety of sports show via ESPN on Xbox 360. Also, with Video Kinect, it can be used to chat or video call anyone with another Kinect console. Furthermore, with Zune on Xbox 360, this gaming console can be transformed into a home-theater system because you can watch movies, tv shows and music videos with it. Last but not the least, with Last.fm, you can stream music or FM channels from all around the world. To top it all up, you don’t need to press a lot of buttons just to access any of these features. Simply turn on your Xbox 360 and Kinect, connect via Xbox Live, sit down and select a feature with the use of voice-commands and simple hand gestures.
