Here are some of the games for Kinect that you can expect to see: Kinectimals is a game that will allow kids to be able to play with their own virtual pet.  They’ll be able to speak commands to their pet (via Kinect’s voice recognition capabilities) as well as show the pet how to do different actions, like rolling over and playing dead.  EA Sports Active 2.0 will allow people to be able to get some good exercise in while getting some valuable real time feedback on how well you are doing each and every exercise.  Star Wars Kinect will allow you to step into the Star Wars universe, and swing a light saber around by actually making the swing motions with your arms.

One question that gets asked a lot is will you able to use Kinect on PC games?  Right now, you won’t be able to, but the people who sold the technology to Microsoft have announced that they will be making some games similar to Kinect for the PC.  I wouldn’t doubt if Microsoft also plans to allow you to control their next Windows operating system with a series of hand gestures thanks to a Kinect-like technology.

Kinect is definitely going to make you think about how you play video games in a whole new light.

There are a number of educational game developers out there that produce certain video games that your kids will enjoy playing and for them to continue playing these games, they have to answer certain questions about certain subjects for them to proceed. For example, if you are trying to get your child to improve in math, there are math video games that they can only continue playing if they get the answers to certain math questions right. They can be faced with a task that gets them to buy something in the game but for them to complete the purchase, they need to give the right amount in payment or answer how much change they are going to get from such a purchase.

To make them want to answer these questions and to think about the answer, the developers of these educational video games have created these games in such a way that they wouldn’t mind having to come up with the right answer to get them to continue playing and they don’t realize that when they do so, they are actually learning things. This same logic is used in other games like word games, history games and other learning video games that are being made by developers to help children learn things without consciously thinking that learning is boring or is a waste of time.
