Kinect Slapped Onto a Non-Kinect Game

The final concern really applies to what happens six months after Kinect is released. If successful, publishers will want to cash in. The easiest way? Add some cheap Kinect feature to a game just to get a "Compatible with Kinect" sticker on the box. One of the big benefits of Kinect is its potential to enhance the games we already enjoy playing. Having voice recognition in an NBA game so you can play like a real point guard, shouting and motioning your other players into position would be awesome. Tacking on "realistic" free-throw shooting would be dumb.


Kinect has a lot of potential, but it also has a number of pitfalls that must be avoided. Hopefully Microsoft is up to the task. We want Kinect to succeed. Because, seriously, we have to review this stuff and we'd rather spend our days with things that are great than things that are bad.

Resurgence Package for Modern Warfare 2, Now available for Download

Activision announced last May 13, 2010 that the second downloadable map pack of the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 entitled “Resurgence Package” will become available starting in June 3, 2010. The package will be first available in XBox Live in North America.
Resurgence will include three new multiplayer maps, Carnival, a desolated amusement park, Fuel, an oil refinery, Trailer Park, a mobile home park, and the remake of Strike and Vacant, maps from Call of Duty 4.
Last March 30, the company released the first Map Pack for the game entitled Stimulus Package. It only contained three maps, Bailout, Storm and Salvage.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person shooter type of video game. The game was developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision originally for XBox 360 and Playstation 3. Later for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The game is the sixth installment of the Call of Duty series.
While the map may be already out for XBox Live, it will still be released on a later date for the Playstation 3 and PC. The date however, is still unconfirmed.
The two packages did not differ in its price at $15, which is a retail for 1200 Microsoft points.

Resurgence Map Pack Release Time

Resurgence Map Pack Release Time: Modern Warfare 2, will be releasing on Xbox Live June 3, 2010.The Resurgence map pack will feature five new multiplayer levels and will be released first on the Xbox 360 and later on the PS3 and PC. Pricing details are yet to be revealed.

Modern Warfare 2 managed to sell 4.7 million units in the US and UK alone during its first 24 hours on sale. Of course, Modern Warfare 2 is multi console while Halo 3 is only available for the Xbox 360, so this comparison isn’t entirely valid but it’s no secret that Modern Warfare 2 is arguably the king of first person shooters as of late.Unfortunately for you PS3 gamers, the Resurgence Map Pack looks to be time exclusive which means you won’t be getting it for a while.
