Xbox Kinects Families

A new way to Kinect

with your family is coming to

your living room this November!

Formerly know as "Project Natal"....

Microsoft's Xbox 360 has introduced a new kind of gaming perfect for the whole family. There are a wide variety of games to suit ages 3 to 103. Below are of a few of my families' favorites. The Kinectimals game is cute and cuddly and allows you to have a "virtual" pet and is great for the young ones. Kinect Adventures! is fantastic for the family to play together... it's more like a ride than a game and totally fun!!! Dance Central is the ultimate party in a box- (our favorite dance move is the Fresh Prince) This game will be played everywhere... from dorm rooms, to 40th Birthday parties not to mention the tween scene. From toddlers to seniors there is something for everyone and without the complicated controller.

For the first time ever there is a gaming system without controllers.

You are the controller....

Everyone can play these games!

"Project Natal" Xbox 360: It's All Fun And Games

I've heard rumors about "Project Natal" for Xbox 360 (pronounced Nay-tall), no controllers, no wires, just your body and your avatar..... really? Yes, Really!

My family and I were invited to a "sneak peek party" to play their first version of "Project Natal". Let's start with the name. In case you haven't heard of this from your kids yet- you will soon enough it'll be the new hot item to have and on every holiday wish list. Project Natal sounds a little like a science experiment crossed with a blockbuster spy movie starring Matt Damon. And that alone is intriguing to me. So hubby, neenie (g'ma), 10yr. old gamer, and I were off on our first "Project Natal" experience. We were greeted by the really friendly Project Natal Team of gals and given (to keep) a new handy dandy FlipCam to record ourselves while playing. We did not disappoint, silly we were!

Flip video coming soon....

It looks like we're going the hokey pokey I know, but by the looks on our faces you can see how much fun we were having. We were playing the only game they were sharing with us for now, Dodge Ball. More games will be released and another get together for playing is coming soon, I hope! My family had 3 generations at the party, this is fun for Grandparents, Parents, and of course kids~ It is so nice to find activities for kids to be interacting with adults that is fun for everyone and best of all it keeps you active!!!

Thank you to The Project Natal Team for letting us be part of the Xbox 360 family!

We can't wait to play together again soon~
