When Technology Takes a Turn for the COOL

November 30, 2010 by Jen

I have always loved video games. From the early days of pong, space invaders and PacMan to my teen love of Zelda, SuperMario and Tetris to today and our various home gaming systems. But no system has rocked my world and impressed me like the new Xbox 360 Kinect. This thing is seriously amazing, folks.

Recently my son’s hockey team spent some time at the Xbox Kinect Experience in Toronto. This space was open to the public right downtown in anticipation of the system’s launch. Anyone could drop in and try it out. This was the perfect location for a pre-holiday celebration for these hockey and gaming loving boys! This system is the perfect combination of physical and fun. The totally cool factor? YOU are your controller!

Check it out:

Now the Xbox Kinect system is the #1 item on these boys Holiday List!
