Hey, a comic! Kinect has drawn quite a bit of conversation over the course of the last year; some of it good, some of it bad. I guess I’m kind of waiting until I make my own final judgement. Microsoft is playing it close to the chest with Kinect, not wanting to show their full hand until they’re ready and I have it on good authority that there’s still more to show (aside from the price).  Are they talking too much to the casual gamer? Maybe. Like I said, I’m holding judgement until I see what they’ve got in store for gamers like you and me.

I’ve been playing a lot of Halo Reach lately. Well, *a lot* is relative when you’re a father of four but I’ve been playing long enough to realize two things:

1. I really like the changes they’ve made to the game.
2. I’m really not very good at Halo.

During a match the other night I thought I was doing amazing so I pressed back to view the scoreboard.  Much to my surprise I was ranked at the absolute bottom of the list. Rad.  Only not really. I will continue to play, but if you’re looking for a teammate to play with you may want to steer clear.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords was the first commercial game to use our freely available XNA Button pack.  Infinite Interactive continued to use 360Prophecy button packs for all the subsequent games, and they will also be included in the upcoming Puzzle Quest 2.

Their latest game, Puzzle Chronicles, hit Xbox Live Arcade a few weeks ago and we’ve been sent some download codes to give away!  This week we’re going to be holding the contest on our Facebook page. Just leave a comment on the wall post for the code and you’ll be entered into a random draw.  Be sure to enter by 6pm this coming Wednesday!
