Gunstringer Kinect

Gunstringer kinect was released in  September 2011  and this is the number one kinect games for teens  in 2011. This is not only for kids, but adults will love this game also.. Gunstringer is a truly amazing, humurous and unique game like no other. A fun game with twist. Great controls, good story.

Gunstringer Kinect
The Gunstringer marries Twisted Pixel's beloved storytelling, characters, and polish with fresh gameplay mechanics. Players can puppeteer a character through a variety of 3D and 2D gameplay styles, controlling every jump and dodge with one hand, while filling enemies with lead using the other. The Gunstringer provides players with new Kinect shooter experiences that have never been seen before.

Game Features

  • Be the puppet master with Kinect, and move the Gunstringer through his adventures as if you were actually controlling a marionette.
  • The Gunstringer takes standard solo platforming and shooting mechanics and evolves them for fun competitive action.
  • With a full suite of collectables, unlockables, abilities, rewards and more, there's always a reason to play an encore performance!
You take the title role as The Gunstringer, an undead cowboy out for revenge on his old posse that betrayed him. You are performing in a play in front of a live-action crowd. It sounds crazy and I understand anyone's qualms as to this concept being pulled off effectively.

This is a thrilling game that completely wraps you into the role of operating an undead-cowboy marionette. You use your left hand as if you were holding the strings for the marionette and hold your right arm out and make a 'invisible-gun' hand shape.

So the left hand controls walking, moving and jumping of the Gunstringer and your right arm is for shooting. You accomplish shooting by aiming at a target and recoiling your hand as if you just fired a real gun. You can even paint up to 6 targets and then pop back your hand for multi-kills.







GUNSTRINGER REVIEWS

 
The game runs on the company's BEARD engine and the switches between 2D and 3D segments are quite familiar – found in their games like Comic Jumper. But the details in The Gunstringer's world are more prevalent than before. From the hand-painting on cardboard look to the corrugation between the panels, this is quite a world to behold.

 This is one of the few games I have played were I beat it and actually wanted to go back for round 2 immediately. With all the unlockables available to purchase with in-game money earned by playing, it entices you to come back for more and more.

This is the beginning of a wonderful and lasting friendship.

There are some limited special edition Kinectimals Kinect game with a toy, which will be a collectors item in a few year, as this is one of the first Kinect games produced and by far the top kinect kids game of 2010.

Joy Ride

 Joy Ride is a car racing game for kids, no contollers and no drivers license required, the kids will have so much fun with this cart racing games.

 Joy Ride  driving and kart racing with the kinect contollers adds jumps and full-body stunts to the classic kart racing action. With a host of cool features and game modes you can find your inner Andretti by going solo, pick up a co-pilot, or team up with your friends and family to take on the world.

 Joy Ride takes the thrilling driving experience off the track and into your living room as you bend, twist and move your body to hug the curves, jump through obstacles and show off your acrobatic skills — when you get your whole body into it, you are the car!

Adrenaline Misfits

 Adrenaline Misfits races through 7 unbelievable  worlds including the snowy mountain, stormy desert, glacier lands, limestone caves, volcanoes and so much more.Anyone can play because your body is the controller.

The  cross boarding action through freestyle, time and collection challenges against boss characters each with unique abilities. Battle Boss’ from around the world growing your abilities and gaining more impressive boards each with their own special features. Win a race, steal that boss’ board and do battle to collect all 60.

You can upgrade your board gear temporarily with energy pickups like a soda rocket or fully to extreme gear, which is available in both board and bike formats. The hoverboard reacts like a snowboard on steroids. Maneuvering requires your whole body:

* Cornering involves bending your body forward at the waist or backwards to steer;
* Jumping is self-explanatory but power jumping requires you to crouch down for a few seconds before leaping into the air;
* A kick dash is completed using a kick gesture using your back foot with a good follow-through;
* Braking requires squaring your shoulders toward the screen; and
* Your hands are kept busy to catch rings, grab horizontal bars, wipe away foggy screens and to cling to the bottom of trains.
This kinect game is so much fun for the whole family, not just the kids.

Ping Cup, Hoop Shoot, Table Hockey, Darts, Puck Bowling, Horseshoe Hysteria, Pool Hall Party, Root Beer Tapper, and Double Racquets . You can play with 16 players in tournament mode. The ratings have been very poor for this game, seems there have been a few teething problems with this game for kinect.

Harry Potter -Kinect

 It's been a tradition to buy our daughter the game every year since the first one came out. This one is so realistic and the graphics are amazing. We love the fact that you can use kinect for some challenges, which feels so real. I wish the whole game was kinect, but it would get tiring. The game is challenging, but fun.
The Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 videogame is the most challenging yet, packed from start to finish with action and combat. Playing as Harry, you are on the run from the opening sequence, fighting for survival on a desperate and dangerous quest to locate and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes. There are no more lessons, no more training. This time the danger is real. It’s time to fight your life.
