Winter Sports 3 Kinect

Peel off the misguided subject matter, ignore the bizarre lionisation of a toxic mercenary service, and Blackwater's an extremely tidy on-rails shooter. The banter is stupid, but almost likably so, and the aiming and firing action cleverly builds Kinect's response times into the game. To make the first half-decent shooter for a platform deserves a measure of respect. It's just a shame that 505 Games chose such reprehensible stars.

You can't hide the elephant in the room with a tea towel. Kinect has single-handedly created a market for fitness games on the Xbox and Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 is its Grand Poobah. Whether you're interested or not, you can certainly appreciate that some are better than others. Take Zumba - selling like non-fattening glucose, dairy and wheat-free hot cake substitutes, despite the fact it's a sack of misfiring balls. Then take Your Shape - a game that plugs directly into the need to distract you from the fact you're moving around with a barrage of information and facts. The overpriced DLC ads are a bit too prominent, but this is the one we'd use if we weren't drunk and lazy.
