Rise of Nightmares Kinect

The Rise of Nightmares kinect game is due for release September 6 2011, this is a kinect game for adults.
An unashamedly mature title in a sea of family-friendly offerings on Kinect for the first time, Rise of Nightmares takes you into a cinematic world of horrific blood and violence.

The dark and baroque prince of twentieth-century horror H.P. Lovecraft once wrote that the "oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." At the moment, mature titles for Kinect are certainly an unknown quantity. With a few notable exceptions (well, Child of Eden anyway), Microsoft's motion controller has so far been confined to family-friendly activities.

Rise of Nightmares is definitely not family fare. It's a gory, grisly first-person horror adventure game that will have you stabbing and slashing, butchering and bashing the undead. Not tickling bouncy wide-eyed tiger cubs.

You play Josh, a recovering alcoholic, who has taken a trip with his long-suffering spouse Kate to Eastern Europe (wonderfully sinister this time of year). It's a last-ditch attempt to put things right with their faltering relationship. But during the opening train journey, your wife is kidnapped by a terrifying brute wearing a strange contraption on his face, while a mysterious man cackles in the background. (He turns out to be called Victor, which is abuot the least intimidating name imaginable.)

But it's when you reach Victor's brooding Gothic mansion that the screaming really begins.


 The game uses Kinect in lots of interesting ways. You run, you climb ladders, you pull levers, you balance, you frantically brush leeches off your forearms after an unexpected dip in lake. At the beginning of the game, you even turn over Tarot cards one by one to learn that your future is damned.

As the game is not on rails -- I repeat, NOT ON RAILS -- Kinect is used predominantly to explore the environment and to despatch the dead. You move by placing your best foot forward. To turn, you simply angle your torso right or left. Take one step back and, unsurprisingly, you take one step back. At first it's awkward; you stagger around like a hapless drunk, making you think that Josh has fallen off the wagon. After a while you adapt, but it's never intuitive.

The combat is, though. There are no guns, with the emphasis more on 'stabby' weapons -- machetes, ice blades, combat knives, and the like. Later on, you'll get your mitts on more powerful two-handed weapons, like a petrol-guzzling, smoke-coughing chainsaw. When attacked by the undead, raise your arms, adopting a boxer's stance, and you'll automatically block any incoming attack; then, stab, slash, punch or kick to your heart's content. There's a slight delay in between attacks. If you slash frantically, it will probably only register one or two blows, which can be irritating. But the punch and kick mechanics work well.

Enemies, Victor's ungodly experiments, are incredibly polite. Unlike other survival horror games, the undead in Rise of Nightmares will courteously queue up to feast on your moist brains. When you kill one, you'll find another waiting patiently behind you. Of course, this is a byproduct Kinect implementation. If multiple enemies attacked you from all directions, you wouldn't stand much of a chance.

Producer Satoshi Ito, who worked extensively on SEGA's beloved House of the Dead series, believes the removal of a controller increases the sense of vulnerability experience by the player. No longer can you hide behind the controller. Or so the theory goes.

Whilst the removal of a traditional controller does increase the feeling of insecurity to a degree, whether it actually raises the sense of terror is debatable. Especially when you remember that to use Kinect properly, the lights have to be on. I played the game in low-key lighting, and Kinect operated okay, apart from constantly telling me to move backwards, which might have been down to the lack of illumination. But normally when playing something like Resident Evil or Dead Space, my preference (one I probably share with others) is to turn the lights out entirely. The terror gained by ditching the controller is offset by playing with the lights on.
Like Stu and Billy, the killers in Scream, the game has been weaned on a diet of horror movies. It's set in an Eastern European locale seemingly mired in the Middle Ages; there's a mad scientist named Victor whose morbid hobby is to reanimate the dead; even the slouching, shuffling zombies have a nostalgic Romero-blue tinge to their rotting flesh. The gratuitous level of spatter and elaborate death-traps, meanwhile, recall the recent 'torture-porn' sub-genre, with movies like Hostel and the unending SAW being a strong influence.

But ultimately, it's an uneven concoction. In the opening sequence, there are plenty of crude stereotypes and some clunky dialogue -- "These old Soviet cars buck like Shropshire ponies" being one of my favourites. I'm still not sure whether Rise of Nightmares is a knowing compilation of all my favourite horror movies or a piece of shlock worthy of the late great William Castle. Based on what I've seen, it's fun, at least -- but only in a B-movie kind of way.

The best kinect game is Kinect Ultimate Sports, this is the ultimate party experience.You and your family and friends will have so many hours of fun and entertainment.

Rise of Nightmares  now you will be able to Master the different fighting styles and various weapons, stealthy sneaking and puzzle-solving.


Kinect Sports Review

Kinect Sports is definitely one of the kinect games you should have in your game library, there are so many games and mini games, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Track and field has 5 events. Sprint, pretty basic....run in place. Next is Javelin Throw, also fun. Then there is the long jump, which is cool. Following that is discus, actually very lame, could not consistently get good flights from discus. Lastly is hurdles

Next up is Boxing. Boxing is Ok, but by far the most effective tactic is throw wildly rather than take a methodical approach...that actually kind of ruins it for me, I wanted something a little more strategy and skill based.

Beach Volleyball is a lot of fun, but it really seems the most forgiving with its camera response. I feel like a lot of times if you are just in the general vicinity it will count as a bump. Scoring can take a lot of volleys

Last is Table Tennis. Response is pretty good not much variation in shots and putting spin seems rather difficult.
Kinect Sports 2 introduces six new sports - tennis, golf, American football, baseball, skiing and darts - with loads of challenges and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Kinect Dance Games for Adults

Kinect had two Dance games at launch. Dance Central, and Dance Masters. I like both games , but they are very different ,you can't help but compare the two.

Dance Central has follows the moves the dancer is doing, and Dance Masters is different as it is a lot more like Dance Dance Revolution,sometime you hit the marks at certain times.
Dance Central Advantages
1) Anyone can play. The game teaches you the dance moves. Then it gives you some practice trys. Then you get to "Perform".
2) The game gives really good feedback. When you miss a move, it shows you which part of your body wasn't moving right by outlining it in red.
3) The tracks are pretty good. There is a lot of music you would hear at clubs today and some that you haven't heard for a while.
4) The sound and visuals are pretty cool. I thought I would get bored listening to track during practice, but you really don't because you are concentrating on what is happening on screen.
5) Watching your friends play this is AWESOME. If they are good dancers (particularly hip-hop) it is a great way for them to perform. If they are not good dancers... well it is fun to watch them pretend.

Dance Central 2 extends the fun and excitement of the Dance Central experience, introducing new features and improved modes sure to get any party started. With 40 new tracks to dance to and the capability of downloading more of your favorite tracks.


All of these are pretty well varied, and on the harder difficulties can be mixed together or doubled.
The Def Jam Rapstar game disc is packed with more than 40 tracks representing every stage in the evolution of Hip-Hop, with many, many more available as downloadable content.

Just Dance 3 for kinect  it  features over 40 songs from a wide range of musical genres, including hip-hop, pop, rock, disco, funk, R&B, country and more.
