Microsoft, according to a press release issued this morning as part of their Gamescom line-up, has announced its release date in Europe for Kinect. The day for your diaries: November 10th, with the controller-free system launching with 15 titles, including ‘Kinect Sports,’ ‘Kinect Adventures,’ ‘Kinectimals’ and ‘Kinect Joyride.’
In addition, the press release says that MTV Games and Harmonix will also announce new chart-topping dance tracks for the highly anticipated ‘Dance Central’, so presumably that one won’t be ready for launch.
Microsoft continue to push the ‘simple to play’ ethos behind Kinect, as well as the fact that the new Kinect Hub ‘puts your favourite movies and TV programs, music, live sports, and social networks all in one place’. Kinect recognises you, the bulletin says, responds to your gestures, listens to your voice and works with every Xbox 360 console, also 175 MB of space is needed for the software.
The company are also keen to mention the big games for this year (naturally, there’s mention of Halo: Reach, Microsoft’s big gun) as well as quickly pointing out that Windows Phone 7 is going to bring the ‘quality, consistency and community of the Xbox experience to gamers on the go’.
We’re at Gamescom today for something hopefully rather tasty, we’ll be reporting soon.

“going to bring the ‘quality, consistency and community of the Xbox experience to gamers on the go” is that a good thing :p

ive played move at covent gardens and the lag is variable, if you move your whole body then its very apparent but subtle movements it can track straightaway, however after 5-10 mins of playing it you get used to it and play with the lag.
If you don’t understand what I mean then wii sports boxing is very similar, loads of lag but you get used to it eventually
