Since Vegas wasn’t directly targeted in the attacks of the Great War, they still have power, which means there’s going to be a [...]

At X’10 – Microsoft Kinect
One of the highlights of X’10 was getting a chance to go “hands on” with Microsoft’s controller-free controller Kinect. The various mini games in Kinect are actually quite the workout (see about 1 minute in the above video), and though there is lag, it didn’t seem to affect gameplay.
