Xbox 360 Kinect Games List

Before we embark upon our journey to explore the Xbox 360 Kinect games list in search of interesting games for the Kinect, let's take a closer look at this video games platform and see what it offers that the regular Xbox 360 doesn't. Released in November, 2010, the Kinect harnesses a path breaking technological concoction which Microsoft defines as a controller-free gaming and entertainment experience. This platform, which is a web-cam based Xbox 360 console add-on, allows the player to interact with the Xbox 360 gaming console without using any game controller. It does so by interpreting 3D scene data which is captured by structured light having infrared wavelengths on a continuous note. The entire application includes depth sensors, RGB camera and a proprietary software that runs multiple array microphones. It allows the user/ player to interact with the video game console using gestures and verbal commands. As most of you may have guessed by now, the main competitor of the Xbox 360 Kinect are PlayStation Move (read more on PS3 Move vs Xbox 360 Kinect) and PlayStation eye.
