This morning Microsoft unveiled the 17 games that will be part of the Xbox 360’s motion-sensing Kinect “launch portfolio” next month.
The titles include an eclectic mix of Wii-like casual games, big titles with a Kinect controller option and a couple of big titles created for the motion controller from the ground up. Of course if you don’t use Microsoft’s broad definition of “launch portfolio” and instead stick to games actually available the day the add-on comes out, you’re left with a dozen titles.
