EA seems to have beefed up the career mode of their soon to be released game, Fight Night Champion. We say that due to the extra bit of spice that is evident from the new trailer from the game. The trailer exhibits a drama-filled journey of a fictious Philadelphia fighter named, Andre Bishop as he fights his way to glory and punches his way through in his pursuit to the become the ‘Champion’.

Just in case you didn’t know, Kinect is amazing. This new hack just proves how it keeps blowing ours minds away everyday.

Another day, another new Kinect hack. Kinect has become sort of like a canvas that is allowing hacker’s imaginations run wild. This time Kinect has been hacked to allow control of XBMC, a popular media center app, using just hand gestures. While this isn’t an elegant solution as you can tell from the video, it could be improved to become as useable as the Kinect hub on Xbox 360. Or Microsoft could just add more features to the Kinect hub to allow us to browse through our movie collections, minority report style. What up!

This may sound highly unlikely but rumor has it that several big action titles including Gears Of War will be announced by Microsoft as Kinect compatible in the next couple of months. According to Inside Kinect, Epic is working on a Gears Of War Kinect version though it is not yet clear whether it will be a part of Gears Of War 3 itself or an entirely new game!
Microsoft Kinect hacking seems to have become more of a hobby now for most developers. We saw Kinect working with an iPad as well as using a laptop with this motion sensor to create a wicked puppet show before. Now, a bunch of kids at the MIT Media Lab who belong to Fluid Interfaces Group have managed to hack the Xbox 360 Kinect motion sensor and develop a DepthJS system which makes Javascript work withKinect in order to navigate web pages, among other things.

The revolutionary motion sensor introduced by Microsoft called ‘Kinect’ exclusively for its premium gaming console Xbox 360 has already sold over 1 Million units in 10 days from its launch. Many considered that the Kinect sensor is an overpriced accessory before these figures, but its complete sell out at all the major retailers in US says otherwise. If this were to continue, Microsoft could sell over 5 Million units by the end of 2010 which definitely outsells any other motion controller available in the market!
