I saw some stuff I liked the look of with Kinect. Voice commands, even if it's not exactly new technology, was interesting. I've had trouble with machines misunderstanding some of my words in the past because of my accent so everytime a new device claims to use voice controls, I hope it'll understand me. They have to have realised by now that not everyone has a crystal clear Californian accent.
The voice chat thing between 360's and MSN Messanger is a great thing for me because I've got friends and family dotted everywhere and phone calls aren't exactly cheap. Plus it's a lot better seeing my little nephew and having him see me than just hearing each other.

The fitness game looked like it would be good for "warming up" before going to the actual gym or running. I never warm up before going to the gym even though I really should, so having something that makes it a little more interesting helps.

I'm not a Star Wars fan at all but that game looked interesting. I'm not going to get excited until I see it being played for real, though.

I actually thought MGS Rising was going to be a Kinect title for a sec. The guy started talking about Kinect and then randomly brought Hideo onto the stage. Then we saw the scene of Raiden cutting that machine-thing with one hand and reaching into it to pull out its spine with the other hand using exaggerated motions.

I'm hoping Kinekt lasts long enough for a 2nd wave of titles to be released on it. I like the look of it a lot. If it can survive the crappy launch line up which most things seem to have these days, we'll see the real fun in the 2nd wave.

That little girl with Skittles the tiger cub was just too cute. She sounded 100% more natural than the "twins". "Oh, is that The Last Air Bender?" Why are they using rehearsed lines? Give them a basic premise on what to talk about, tell them not to swear and let them talk like humans. Rehearsing lines and reading them like a bad school play hurts what they are trying to show more than it helps it. If they HAVE to use rehearsed lines, do the demo in silence with key info appearing on a big screen above the stage at certain points.

I would have punched something if it had mentioned Kinect at the end of the trailer. Possibly a kitten cute enough to be on fucking skittles.
