We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. People paid $250 for the same type of experience with the Wii and now they can have it for $150 on their Xbox 360.Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. While the current lineup of games aren’t perfect, and mostly fall under the categories of exercise, dance, or mini games - they are all fun in small doses. currently there’s over 40 announced titles. The Kinect is going to do just fine though - it’s going to sell well, kids and families are going to enjoy it, and there’s going to be plenty of games to support it Microsoft promises those are coming and we got a glimpse of them at TGS, so we’ll continue to keep our fingers crossed. Ubisoft’s Yourshape Fitness Evolved comes to mind as another example of a perfect game for the system - but we’ve yet to see any kind of core games on the platform. Right now I just can’t see any sort of game play experiences that are worthwhile for Kinect outside the type that map your body to a body on the screen.
