Microsoft Publisher Sale brings some sweet Kinect deals
In addition to the awesome XBLA deals going on right now, Microsoft is also having a sale on things that they’ve published! This includes great deals on a bunch of DLC for Forza 4, The Gunstringer, and Kinect Sports: Season 2. Our friends at XBLA Fans have a roundup of all of the arcade deals that are part of this as well. Check below for links to the marketplace and the specifics of the deal.
Plight of the Pudgy Gamer #4: Neglect
My poor Kinect is at this moment sitting with its head down, looking all depressed. It and I haven’t played together in over a month. Every once and a while it’ll look up at me as a walk by, but then go back into “sad mode” once I pass. (Okay, so technically it’s trying to calibrate to someone standing in front of it) I’ll have to dust the poor guy before I play with him next time.
To be fair, it’s not because I don’t want to. I was thoroughly enjoying my playthrough of Kinect Star Wars, and I recently purchased Forza Motorsport 4. I’m interested to try the Kinect features there. Nope, it’s due to having a new baby. He’s still on oxygen and monitors, having been born a preemie, so my wife camps with him on the living room couch, surrounded by tubes and cords. (Don’t worry, he’s fine, it’s just a precaution) That being said getting opportunities to play are few and far between. When I do it’s usually shorter stents, so I typically play XBLA games.
I can’t wait until I can buddy back up with my Kinect, who I shall name George. George looks cute, like a body-less WALL-E up there on the entertainment center. He’s my fitness coach, and I need to get back to the gym.
So, anyone else suffering from Kinect Separation Anxiety?
