In one of the latest Xbox Live Arcade games for Microsoft Kinect, the player takes control of a ballista and fires a variety of different projectiles at the Goblin hordes that have taken over the kingdom. Taking no half measures the goblins make it clear they are there to stay by erecting elaborate walls, towers and castles to hide behind. Being the newest apprentice in a medieval wrecking company, it is your job to destroy as much of the green skins’ structures as possible, guiding the projectiles with your arms as they are being hurled from your siege weapon.

April Fools – Assassin’s Creed Kinect Announced

Sunday, April 1st, 2012

[cp_youtube id=”7NufHsmITjM” points=”20″ width=”525″]

Ubisoft announced an Assassin’s Creed Kinect game today without a solid release date.  It seems that instead of being a spin-off of Assassin’s Creed 3 that it’s going to be another chapter in the already much too long Ezio saga surrounding Assassin’s Creed 2.  We still don’t have a Kinect for the Game Usagi office and this new entry into the Assassin’s Creed series isn’t really making us chomp at the bit to get one either.  The controls, like in many other Kinect games, look too involved to be engaging or fun even in small amounts.  If Microsoft wants the Kinect to be taken seriously, this is certainly not the way in which to do it.
