It’s hard not to be skeptical of most Kinect games. While the Kinect has a lot of potential, it really hasn’t been utilized well with perhaps the exception of Harmonix’s Dance Central games. When Fable: The Journey was announced last year, it’s not surprising that gamers were underwhelmed. When they had a demo for it available, I really didn’t think I’d be that impressed. However, once I got a handle on the controls, I felt like I was actually casting spells and destroying enemies with ease. I walked away happily surprised, although I admit that it did give my arms a bit more of a workout than I had expected because I really was throwing my arms around. If you have a Kinect, then check out my session at E3 and see how well it worked, as well as a brief Q&A with someone from Lionhead Studios.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
