A Little Bit of Kinect


On Christmas morning, I came downstairs to find the tree was full of presents. LEGOs, video games, dolls for my sister, toy cars for my brother, a  deck of fixed cards and some Tech Deck skateboards. After opening all of my presents, I found one more...A XBOX 360 Kinect. 

The Kinect came with a game called Kinect Adventures. The point of the game is to become a "Ultimate Adventurer". To become one you must go through many tests-patching leaks in a underwater box, destroying crates with dodge balls and much more-all which require you to get up and move. The Kinect has two cameras and a laser scanner. The two cameras can see what you are doing, so on the screen the player you are controlling in the game copies you.

The Kinect revolutionizes the XBOX. It gives you a whole new menu, of Kinect games and stats. Also you can download some apps only for the Kinect, like video chat. Even though the Kinect has no controls now, eventually it will adapt to some controllers so you can play games like Call of Duty. I think the Kinect is a great device for kids and adults to enjoy, and exercise while playing video games.
