This is the last game you'd ever want to play while you're sick – lot's of running, arm-waving, and opportunities for cheek-burning humiliation.
You're in the Movies uses the Xbox Live camera to capture all of what you do and splice it with pre-rendered videos in its extensive library of genre-based clips to create your very own, very wacky, home movie. At the more "hardcore" level, the game works like video editing software, letting you record music and dub tracks and edit together clips to create incredibly long – and incredibly wacky – movies of you running, arm-waving and generally embarrassing yourself in the name of fun.
Kombo: Towards the end of last year (but prior to Project Natal's announcement), I was mulling over the used game section in my local gaming store when my girlfriend tapped me on the shoulder and gestured to the Xbox 360 Accessories section. Towards the bottom of the shelf was an Xbox LIVE Vision Camera bundled with the 2008 casual gaming experiment, You're In The Movies, with a price tag of $19.99. We took the device home and spent time playing a few rounds of what amounted to an interactive movie-themed casual-party-gimmick fest culminating in a campy movie trailer with our likenesses inserted for good measure. By the end of it, both of us were physically exhausted from the minigames and laughing like crazy at the movie trailer.
And something dawned on me - I had more fun than I thought I would.
Craig H writes: "One of our biggest gripes, actually one of the biggest complaints throughout the industry right now, is that the level of quality in games has been suffering lately.

Like any other game console, the Xbox 360 has had its successes and its failures, but some of its failures have just been unforgivable. This article expands on some of its greatest failures, and is meant to pair with Top 5 Takedown's previous article, "Top 5 PS3 Fails", because both consoles deserve some scrutiny by the public that both hates and loves them.
and it's time to bash the 360?
Even as a Sony fan, I am against this because it's as stupid as all the sony bashing.
Really, what the heck is wrong with those journalists?
