Kinect’s first stab at a horror survival game played without a controller. I got to stand to the side and watch this being played. While my demo friend was being attacked by a banshee, the screen alerts you to cover your ears as everything goes blurry. She maniacally floats around you waiting, and that’s when it happened. After a little fudging with the motion capture, my demo friend pulls out a chainsaw and goes to town on this high pitched bitch! Rise of Nightmares is going to be one of those that speaks to a select crowd. It has the potential to really step up the Kinect into more hardcore gamers, but only if it is done well. If the play gets choppy, the Kinect gets twitchy, and access to your inventory gets convoluted with hand motions, then you may spend more time flapping your arms then fighting off the demons that torture you. Worth a look see, when this comes out I will have to give it some initial lovin before deciding if I should just put it to sleep.
