Do you know what I love most about Kinect? It’s not the amazing tech behind the peripheral (despite it being, you know, amazing) and it’s not the games that have shipped so far (nothing has really grabbed my attention yet).

For a so-called “core gamer” who regularly makes fun of motion-controlled gaming, I’ve certainly gotten caught up in it. I have a Wii (with motion plus!), Playstation Move and I’ve recently acquired Microsoft’s Kinect.

Blitz Games founder, Phillip Oliver, has revealed something quite interesting about the Kinect and why there is a limit on what can be done with the camera and motion capturing. A lot has been said about the camera being downgraded from HD res to its current SD standing but the quality of the camera isn’t the problem that Blitz Games …
