  OK, I Take It Back About Kinect’s Star Wars Game

  Yesterday, I thought Kinect’s Star Wars game looked pretty interesting! Oh, what a difference a day and some extra footage makes.

  Is I Am Alive, Well, Alive?

  Ubisoft’s I Am Alive has long been a vapourware suspect, the length of time since we last heard anything about it leading some to suspect it had ended up on the development scrapheap.
