Episode 18: May The Force Be With You

So it seems there is finally a reason for me to consider dropping the coin and upgrading to Kinect (or at least consider it)... KINECT: STAR WARS!

Exclusively on Xbox360, this is the game Star Wars fans have been waiting decades for. You get to fight with lightsabers, use force powers to move objects, pilot Star Wars vehicles... ALL WITH YOUR BARE HANDS!



The game features 5 different types of play: Jedi Destiny is the typical Jedi story mode where you use the force and a lightsaber to battle the Sith, Rancor Rampage turns you into a Rancor and drops you in a nice city you can destroy, Podracing puts you in the driver's seat for fast paced podracing action, Duels of Fate where you battle one-on-one climbing the ladder to fight Darth Vader, and the only thing I hate about this game Galactic Dance-Off where Princess Leia challenges you to a dance off to modern songs with Star Wars lyrics (ok, so the lyrics are probably worth playing this mode at least once).

There is also a BADASS R2D2 Xbox360 console with a C3PO controller that will come out today as well.



That's the only big release hitting stores today but if the season premiere of Game of Thrones on Sunday left you itching for the RPG release, here's a new trailer to keep you busy:

As for myself, I'm still spending most of my gaming time in Tamriel (Skyrim). I now have purchased all 5 houses, defeated Alduin, been made leader of the Mages College, Companions, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood as well as a Nightingale and Bard. A few more cities to become Thane of and a bunch of side quests are next on the agenda. Eventually I'll get back to the civil war too.

And that about does it. Until next time, get out there and get your game on!
