Maybe because it sounds like Humanimals.

Because you took the Kinectology free stress test in Union Square and now they have their claws in you.

I'm just kidding, please don't sue me.

I wonder if Luddy is excited. He can finally have a pet lion that won't maul his face off one day.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze about Kinectimals.

I don't know? I can't see how taking care of 20 animals that are probably made to look like Wii animals could be very interesting for more than a few hours.

If you want a game like that, wouldn't you just buy EyePet? I'd assume that Sony have more experience with interacting with an EyeToy and focussing on just one pet would probably lead to a better experience than these developers having to figure out how to interact with 20 animals...

Someone needs to do one of those Hitler videos for this.

"Mein fuhrer.... they figured out which games we'd have for natal at launch"

"well...at least they didn't find out the secret name"

"well....sir... USA Today leaked it yesterday...they know it's named Kinect"

*takes off glasses*

"WHAT IS THIS SHIT?! I told you guys that the name was stupid! Now Reggie is going to laugh at me and it's all your fault!"

I feel completely indifferent about the name - however the launch titles are kind of what I expected. Completely casual games to after Nintendo's market. Nothing there makes me any more interested to pick it up.

How so? Pricing hasn't been reveled yet, we don't know if 3rd party devs are or aren't releasing first day games too.

Sure the name isn't that great, but remember the name change of the Nintendo Revolution to Wii? How long did the boat of "Wii" jokes last for?

I don't mind Kinect ... could have been better but its different and will probably grow on people eventually.

That Kinect Sports game should be included when you buy the Kinect hardware. You should at least give you a free game if you plan on spending $150.

Dude I can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Blegh. Simplistic games do not inspire me. JoyRide could be fun, but I'm waiting for something of more influence. Milo or something along those lines.

That does make for a scary outlook on microsofts press conference. It might end up being a bit of halo, a bit of gears, then kinect for the rest of show! yippee!

We've already seen Move show off Socom 4, Resident Evil 5, EyePet and LittleBigPlanet. We know what Move is bringing both casually and core wise.

Kinect's judgment day will be tomorrow. If MS can't show anything can will impress core gamers then it will fail.

So it is going to be called Kinect? Ugh. I don't really like the name. But then, I didn't like Wii at the time either (I preferred Revolution, like I prefer Natal right now), so it'll probably grow on me.
