I Regret Buying Kinect (Game Informer)
Like many gamers, I was skeptical when I saw the first concept video of
Kinect. Adults and children were shown playing trivia games together, fixing
busted tires at pit stops, scanning their real-life skateboard into a video

skeptical of the peripheral, doubting it would work as advertised. My
skepticism grew as the marketing campaign pushed forward, with Kudo Tsunoda
knocking virtual balls back and forth everywhere from E3 to Late Night with

behind it. When we received our first Kinect unit here at Game Informer, I
walked in to the conference room to watch Bryan play Kinect Sports. He went
into multiplayer so I could give it a shot, and I was surprised to find myself
