Rare says that the silly old Xbox avatars are getting an overhaul for Kinect. They told OXM that their lanky, non-manly bodies will become more realistic. Rare senior programmer Nick Burton says that they’ll essentially be Avatar 2.0. Expect to see more realistic porportions that work better with the hand-eye coordination you’d expect when using Kinect’s motion-sensing tech. I guess we’ll have to wait until Kinect’s launch to see what these new Avatars look like....

I wonder how this gen will go for Big N Nintendo might be making money hand over fist, but the Wii U has seen a sharp decline in third-party support over the years.

[Insert cat pun here] Let your mind wander back to summer 2022. This period saw the release of a newXenoblade Chroniclesafter five years of waiting. The anticipated reboot ofSaints Rowwas a huge let-down for many. But among all these was BlueTwelve Studio’sStray, a dystopian-looking adventure game that lets you control a cat lost in the city. It was very well-received (in fact, we nominated it forBest PlayStation Game of 2022, putting it up against such titans asElden RingandGod of War: Ragnarok), so you Xbox owners might be interested to know that Stray is coming to Series X/S on August 10....

I was both excited and scared when I learned Harmonix would be swinging by the studio last week to show off some ofDance Central 3‘s new Story mode. Excited at the prospect of upholding my reign of internet humiliation, but scared by the thought of enduring a tacked-on story mode for a game that really doesn’t need one to begin with. Whatever your opinion on the matter, make no mistake:Dance Central 3is fun as hell....
