As many gamers complain about the lack of stellar core play experiences on Kinect, Double Fine – a studio that commands attention from the staunchest hardcore gamers – pushes completely in the other direction with Happy Action Theater, an experience that, in many ways, hardly qualifies as a game. Many of the 18 Kinect-based activities in this XBLA download are more visual distractions than anything else, creating amusing illusions like a living room filling up with balloons or lava, or virtual birds landing on your limbs. It's lighthearted fare, but remarkably creative – and keep an eye out for little nods to Double Fine's previous work.
Rhythm Party
Platform: Xbox Live Arcade
EU: TBA
Konami's latest Kinect-enabled dancing game eschews rigid choreography for an approach that lets you dance as you please to one of 10 tracks – so long as your hands or feet hit the right spots on the screen at the right time. Rhythm Party seems particularly notable for its brightly animated backdrops, which display scenes from nature, flashes of light and cute animals, each seemingly matched to a differently stylized onscreen dancer that mimics your moves. The track listing includes Lady Gaga, Bobby Brown, and… two contributions from Vanilla Ice, for some reason. Looks like an odd little offering, but maybe that'll help it stand out from the pack.
