E3: Me as a bobblehead, made in Kinect Fun Labs

I got some hands-on time with the newly announced Kinect fun Labs. Today they wanted to show off two technologies they’re working on for Kinect: People Scanning and Object Capture. They let me make a bobblehead of myself, so I thought I’d share it with you. That would be done via the People Scanning tech, obviously. The scanning of my body was very easy. I stood up and lined up with a outline on the screen to capture my body....

We’re nearly there! Justseven more daysuntil the next-gen arrives and we can start calling it the “current-gen.” I’m going to milk the phrase “next-gen” as often as I can, so look forward to that in the next week or so.

EA’s latest game promises no paid DLC, ‘everything for free’

I got a need…a need to save money Star Wars Battlefronthas a $50 season pass, but all future content coming to EA’s most recent release,Need for Speed, will have all future content granted to players for free. It doesn’t seem typical of EA (but neither did giving Ghost Games an extra year of development and breaking the one-new-Need for Speed-per-year rule) “All I can say is, honestly, hand on heart, is there are absolutely no plans to charge for content in this game....

Fields of Mistria: Hayden gift guide, and how to get each item

Of all the villagers inFields of Mistria, Hayden is perhaps the most realistically suited to a love affair with your character. He owns the farm next door (you can combine acreage!), and, other than his bizarre relationship with a chicken, he has few faults. Of course at this point in Early Access, you can’t actually get very far withromancingHayden, or anyone for that matter. However, you can give yourself a head start and get him to the current maximum heart level of four, preparing yourself to woo him when the time comes....

First videos, new screens for NFL Head Coach 09

EA isn’t stupid. Far from it, in fact. Their first good idea was to bundleNFL Head Coach 09with the20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition ofMadden NFL 09, since the coaching sim probably wouldn’t sell all that well by itself. Their second smart move was to give a hot girl, Amy, plenty of face time in the first videos advertising the game. Check out therest of the videos at GameTrailers, and you’ll see some gems in the comments, like “I’d like to head that coach!...

Garden Warfare 2 has a full-on hub world

This is going to be such a time sink Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2looks far morefleshed outthan I had originally expected it to be. If all you care about is competitive multiplayer (which was super good in the original!), you’ll still be able to melt hours away with that, but there’s now also a hub world to mess about in. As detailed in this video, Backyard Battleground will be home to a wave-based defensive mode called Flag of Power, mini-games, character customization, quests, and secrets....

Hands-on with the transforming XStylus Crayon

I’ve always been content with Nintendo’s styli for the DS family and now the 3DS. They exist, I use them without much thought, and that’s about all there is to say, unless I just botched a round ofPiCTOBiTS. (In that case, it was totally the stylus’ fault. Must’ve been.) The folks behind theXStylus Crayonwanted us to give their product a try. After watching the site’s mesmerizing transformation .gif far too many times, I figured it was worth a shot....
