    It seems that all the motion gaming platforms need a faux-lightgun shooter, and the Kinect has the unique dilemma of not having a controller to wave around and pretend is some kind of strangely weightless gun. Playing to the strengths of the Kinect is no easy task, and juggling a sense of disconnect from reality and a little latency doesn’t usually lend itself to high flying action. Twisted Pixel’s marionette western does the best with what may not be the best fit. Read more

    When you wrap up the adventure, there are enough unlockables to keep you coming back for another run through or four. Behind-the-scenes footage, unreleased concept art, and instant access to a wealth of fantastic songs are fairly typical, but The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles is anything but. This free DLC is an FMV parody of Mad Dog McCree, and it's utterly ridiculous in all the right ways. Read more

    • Supremely fun motion controls, Insightful and funny narrator, Live-action clips are hilarious, Tons of unlockables, The Wavy Man Tube Chronicles is an amazing bonus.
    • Controls don't always register like they should, A few gameplay sequences fall flat.

    After several successful Xbox Live Arcade releases, including The Maw , ’Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man , Twisted Pixel Games has tried their hand at releasing a Kinect enabled titled, that doubles as a full retail release. But The Gunstringer isn’t just another title looking to cash in on the initial wave of success from Kinect. Read more
