Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Child of Eden + Kinect + 106" screen = awesome

Can't wait.

Man, I want this so bad. But I have a Move and I don't have Kinect.

Damn you Microsoft. Damn your moneyhats.

Fantasic OP. Can't wait for this game, I'm sure it's going to be amazing. I'll be playing with Kinect. I'm also trying to figure out a viable way to strap 2 or more controllers to my person for trance vibration purposes. :D

Got Gameinformer early heres a summary:

-She like it better with Kinect

-There are five archives that last 10 to 25 minutes

-Found a few parts to be too slow, the few times when the game went high speed she like the best

-The second to the last archive is where it gets really good but the game ends too soon

-Replay value in challenge mode and unlockables( art and video galleries, decorations for the main menu, and new visual effects for the archives).

8/10

It's Genki Rockets so it'll be great, but not as hard as the songs from Rez.

Mielke says there's reversible box art, btw. At least I think he did. I think it gets rid of the silhouette.

Yeah, I put it in the faq, but probably should have mentioned it next to the cover art.

Weird, it was the Q Entertainment twitter that said the reviews would be around the 14th.

Very interested in Child of Eden. Definitely a fan of Rez. I don't yet own a Kinect however. I'm sort of waiting to see what the reviews say. If it's something that totally makes buying Kinect worth it, or if you can enjoy it just as much with a controller.

Also wish we got a new trailer fro E3 this year. Haven't seen anything from it.

Now that Move is confirmed, is there really any doubt that this will be the ideal way to play? Rez supported the DC mouse--the aiming, it was so good.

Played it at PAX East, pretty great. Graphics are amazing and controlling with Kinect was cool. Definitely picking it up, just not sure if I'm getting it day one yet though...

Can't see any way other than Kinect being the true way to play, particularly if you buy into Miz's vision for the game. If you're playing Rez and CoE for score attack, you're doing it wrong.

The lag on Kinect is too distracting to me. Move really seems like the ideal--you get the (more accurate)motion control Miz was going for, without the delay.

Are you kidding? Finally getting 100% shot down on Area 5 is almost as much of a thrill as, well, Area 5.

edit: Shot down, not analysis. Man, it's been too long.

The game was in development before they had Kinects, the game is a sequel to a game that never had Kinect support, it was designed around a gamepad, that's how it's meant to be played. Plus it's 60fps and Kinect is only 30, and it's still pretty laggy.

Lets hope so since the PS3 version is retarded beyond belief since it clearly shows the game is played with kinect on the cover.

Have a fun! Enjoy!
Is the August EU release date for the Move version official? Thought is was "fall".

B-but cover says "Better with Kinect"!
Where does this come from?

Bah, I'm really torn now. I have this pre-ordered for 360, but don't have a Kinect. I do have a Move however, so I'm contemplating getting the PS3 one instead. Maybe I should just wait until both are out and I get some decent reviews and/or price drop.

works for Gamestop (lol)
Is this the first "better with Kinect" game? Anyone know if the case will be purple or green?

It's a silly thing to complain about, but I don't like that MS call it 'Kinect sensor', I don't get why it's not just Kinect.

No, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows was also "better with Kinect". Case will be green, with a little purple stripe under the Xbox logo.

+ force feedback without having to tape controllers to your body. Hehe.

So this is about a 2 and a half hour game? Am I missing something?

It's the successor to Rez. The type of game you want to play over and over. And there's various modes. It's not the type of game that you'd want to be 8-10 hours long.
