Not only does the Kinect Sports trailer show happy people, but also once again proves that Microsoft think that everyone in the world has a ginormous TV room. I think that Microsoft’s marketing department are hitting the mark pretty damn well though and even if you don’t find any of this appealing, it doesn’t really matter when thousands of soccer …

Fable III is out and about and it looks like a lot of fun. If I could wrestle the controller away from my fiancé then I might be able to give the game a go. Until that time I’ll have to just watch from the sidelines and sulk. That or I could wait for one of the game’s bugs to …

Granted there aren’t many in that picture, which was taken by Aaron Greenberg of Microsoft, but that was yesterday. By now the madness could have increased exponentially, and hordes could be jostling with each other to be amongst the first 3000 into the store. Why the first 3000?

I’ve always preferred it to the boring sim-racing presented in Forza, as it struck the fine balance between sim and arcade racing perfectly. PGR 3 was a launch title for the 360, with PGR 4, released in 2007, as the …

What the hell is THIS thing? I’ve looked around the internet to try and find some in-depth explanations but so far I’ve had no luck. It’s a calibration card that’s bundled with many of the Kinect titles that are launching alongside the new peripheral. It’s smiley! Is it meant to be? It looks as if it’s lulling us into a …

What can I say about Oprah… the lady loves making housewives rip out high pitched squeals the likes of which their husbands could only have wished they were responsible for.
