Kinect for Skyrim?!

Kinect as an add-on to the Xbox 360 is controversial and there's no way around it. I have Kinect to the point where I play fitness games after Christmas and when guests come to stay... but why should it stop there. Many developers have seen this new technology as a stepping stone for extra profit with poorly made games that shouldn't really be called video games as is their annoyance.

So when I heard that Skyrim was to incorporate Kinect in a new update, I was sceptical to say the least. I thought Bethesda had given in to the mass market and were strangers to core players. Then I realised how awesome it could be. The new update won't only allow you to FUS RO DAH your enemies using your own voice but it allows you to equip items without moving your thumbs and even lets you sort your items by worth or damage.

I look forward to the update and I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Skyrim Demographics

According to Bethesda, it is rare for people to spend less than 80 hours playing Skyrim. I've been playing Skyrim since the day after it came out and I have 350+ hours playing such a great game. It's not really suprising that this is the case as it takes 80 hours just to complete the main story and a few side quests... Then there's wanting to finish everything, making different types of characters and getting all the achievements/trophies.

There's also Skyrim DLC on the horizon to try and further that game time even further. Personally, I would like to see different types of dungeons (rather than just the generic daedric dungeon that's great the first 100 times but gets annoying after that) and more weapons too; different types of arrows would be good and there's even talk to spears! Make it happen, Bethesda.

Introductions

Hi. First post and what a one it is. Introductions are generic for blogs so here's mine: I'm 16, living in England and I love to play video games... so much so that a blog is appropriate. Xbox games are the main staple of my gaming diet (so to speak) but I do like to play a free online game now and again and the DS and PSP are good for travelling.

What I'll be writing about will be my thoughts on the latest news in gaming, the games I look forward to get and ideas I have come up with. Feel free to comment if that is your wish.

Enjoy,
