Xbox Kinect lets you take a virtual flight through Disney

Let the games begin…literally.  While the E3 expo hasn’t officially opened, news is beginning to flood the blogosphere on advancements in the gaming space.  According to website, VenutreBeat. Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect will unveil three new games at the conference one of which will allow gamers to fly through a carbon copy of California’s Disneyland.

In an effort to transcend motion-gaming into a universal experience, Microsoft will also be introducing two other titles with similar gaming experiences surrounding Star Wars and Sesame Street.  Stay tuned for multimedia coverage of these games this week.

E3 Expo – Preview

 

E3 Expo, the largest gaming conference in the U.S. is upon us.  Out ‘N Front will be reporting live from the event but prior to that coverage, I wanted to provide a quick snapshot of some of of the anticipated announcements we’ll see in Los Angeles this week.  As a caveat, I am by no means a gaming expert this coverage will be through the eyes of mobile and emerging technology.

• Advancements in cloud gaming
• Announcements surrounding tablet gaming
• Motion gaming’s evolution
• How will game developers address franchising coming to their conclusions?
• Will developers embrace Xperia Play or are they already stretched thin?
• Mobile gaming, mobile gaming, and more mobile gaming!
