Microsoft took one good look at Nintendo’s Wii, and they decided to take it one step further with the Kinect. And really, for a while, it seemed like a great idea. A way to play without any button inputs whatsoever with your body itself being the controller? For a medium centred around interactivity and immersion, it seemed almost too perfect.
