The horror

SEGA's Rise of Nightmares was a big hope for the future of hardcore gaming on Kinect, but the company's internal sales figures have revealed it didn't quite do the business.

What's next?

Microsoft is keen to stress that the future of Kinect is even more...

Last week we reported on Microsoft's plans for interactive TV with Kinect, and now we have updated fact sheets for the Sesame Street and National Geographic projects.

No talent required

This year's Yoostar 2 let you play the starring role in countless Hollywood films, but you needed a modicum of acting ability — or at least a basic reading capability — to get the most out of it. Follow-up Yoostar on MTV, which puts you in MTV shows or music videos, should take care of that entry barrier nicely. The game will...

Twister Mania, Majesco's motion party game of the original motion party game has a release date: 1st November.
