Upcoming Kinect Games 2012

The Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect motion gaming platform has further revolutionized the multi-billion dollar video games industry. Motion gaming has been around since 2006 with the Nintendo Wii game console, and Microsoft has now ventured into this segment as well. The Kinect is a unique platform where "You are the controller". There are no external controllers, and your actions and voices are used to play compatible video games. These upcoming Kinect games 2012 are something to look forward to this year.

The one complaint that people have against the Kinect is that it is incapable of supporting 'serious gaming'. Since the technology used is still in its infancy, the nature of games available are childish and more family-oriented. This is understandable, and we must realize that it is only a matter of time before more serious video games meant for hardcore gamers are released for the Kinect.
