Since Project Natal, now called Kinect, was announced at E3 last year, Microsoft has been hard at work. It promised to bring full body motion control to the Xbox 360 and at E3 2010, it did not disappoint.

Xbox 360 with Project Natal (Kinect) is more than a Wii clone. It provides a unique experience that caters not only to hardcore gamers.
There are games for girls (Kinectimals) and sports fans (Kinect Adventurous; Kinect Sports).

Big boys like Konami, Lucas Arts and Turn 10 Studios have embraced the next-gen controller system by developing games for adults, like Metal Gear Solid and Star Wars Kinect.

Another fun feature of Microsoft Xbox 360 is the alternative dashboard using Kinect. To log-in, you just wave your hand. Making selections and browsing through media is easy too, just swipe your hand to move the on-screen cursor. Kinect also recognizes voice commands.

Microsoft has leapfrogged above competitors Sony and Nintendo with full body motion control. Not having a controller may have drawbacks for certain games, but the gaming experience is superior as you fully immerse yourself in the action.

If the Kinect experiment proves successful, Microsoft will be the kingpin of motion control on the gaming console and computer. By the way, the Xbox 360 kinect is set to hit retail stores by November. Are you looking forward to connect with Kinect?
