For anyone keeping up with Project Natal news they already knew that this wasn't it's official name and during a smaller conference last night they finally announce the real name, Kinect. I don't know why they decide to pick a name now after all this time and why they're acting like it really matter but hey I don't work at Microsoft. They did mention some game to come out around the time Kinect will be out, here's a quick overview of them.
Joyride, a racing game that uses your hands to steer.
Kinect Sports, which will have Bowling, Boxing, Ping Pong, Track and Field, Soccer and Volley Ball.
Kinectimals which you can play with 20 different cats like including tigers and other dangerous cats. Sounds ... fun.
Kinect Adventures, which is a multiplayer river rafting game.
Dance Central which is obviously a dancing game being made by MTV.
Now this isn't the official big Microsoft conference so it's still very early and I hope to hear more real news because most of this news isn't to shocking. Not to mention these games are lack luster I want to hear about some real titles although I'm looking forward to Kinect Sports since if it's even half as good as Wii Sports then it will be a hit.
Some bigger news that was leaked though is the 360 Slim that was unofficially announced. It will include a 250 GB hard drive, built-in Wi-Fi, and is compatible with Kinect, which likely means it will be included as a bundle when it comes out. Of course this is unconfirmed by Microsoft but if it is true there's a good chance it will be announced at there conference so make sure to check back to see if the rumors are true.
