Geoffrey Tim - November 29th, 2011 | According to Eurogamer’s ninja sources, the next iteration of Microsoft’s controller-free motion-sensing Kinect - that’ll be included with the next Xbox - will include greatly enhanced tracking and voice-recognition capabilities.

Nintendo has all that first-part goodness; Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong (and that list goes on and on too) while the 360 really only has ... [»] |
