Which feels more fun way of control, Kinect or Wiimote/Move? Kinect seems to have more technical potential, but I wonder if it lacks game-y feel. In case of Child of Eden it exactly looks like it's better suited for something physical you can point with, and it doesn't use much of the potential Kinect has. What would be example of a game that uses Kinect better? I read something about next Steel Battalion using Kinect as controller, that I want to see.

E: Well dance games are obviously something Kinect is optimal for, now when I thought about it.

Word! Microsoft should try to find a way to re-release the first two Steel Battalion games in HD while they're at it. Then add Kinect functionality to them, as well... ya know, since re-releasing that big ass original Steel Battalion controller for Xbox 360 wouldn't be very realistic idea because of price and limited availability?

As ultra realistic as the controller is... I could easily see myself passing that 40 button button configuration into a normal controller. Seriously, most sims have like 15-20 useful commands and like 60 useless commands (OH HI ArmA II).

However, I do like the Kinect gimmick a lot, slapping soldiers, pushing and pulling fake levers and buttons must be pretty awesome. I also heard that they increased the violence level. A LOT. Apparently when robots blow up you can see limbs and tons of blood afterwards :lol: .
