Kinect & one man's autistic son

Gaming Nexus - I think Kinect is OK, but it's the best $150 I spent on a console - by John Yan

A feel good article about how a reviewer noticed his 4 year old autistic child reacted to Kinect. Might be lukewarm reviews but this is worth the read.

That's a good story, thanks for sharing that.

I like my Kinect. Yea, this first round of games is geared mostly to a younger audience and helps new users learn the interface with simple gameplay. There's only about a dozen games out now. But the next games coming out of Japan look pretty sweet. If you have Xbox live, check out the Tokyo Electronics Show (I think is the name) the Japanese are doing some crazy stuff with the platform.

Thanks for the heads up on that, I am still waiting for a few more releases worth the plunge...I'm going to be a Dance Central Pro but hard to justify 210 bucks plus tax for one game atm

I got Dance Central for Christmas. I'm a little sore, LOL but it's so much fun that I can't stop playing it.

OMG even after that accident? Wow how are you handling that? I can't quite get over the buy in for Kinect, the only thing I want is Dance Central ( and GOD do I want it badly I was a DDR King for years). Just a bit much to drop 210 for that

It's part of my "rehab" exercise program.

Hahaha! I was sore for weeks after getting my Kinect. You gotta pace yourself.

But, it is a good workout!

I love my Kinect, too! Even got my buddy to buy one for his family!
