NZ Gamer - The team here at NZGamer.com get to do some pretty cool things in the course of bringing you the latest in videogame information.
Tristan recently hit Gamescom in Germany like a kid in a candy store, and Alan, Angus, Jess, and Conrad all had lots of fun in the LA sun at E3 this year. All of them got to meet game luminaries and see the hottest new titles behind the scenes before anyone else. Editor Alan also became BFFs with Che Fu, before laying down the smack talk to Manu Vatuvai (and he lived to see another day!)
123KINECT writes in their Kinect review: "... Another note, detection works very well with this game. If the game feels the need to readjust Kinect, it does it while it’s loading and readjusts all the time. This gives you a maximum amount of accuracy detection..."
The main idea of miCoach is similar to the Kinect launch title My Shape: Fitness Evolved and the more recent UFC Personal Trainer. All of these games give the player with a coach or instructor and then run them through an exercise regimen. What miCoach has going for it is that it’s not overly specialized like UFC Personal Trainer but isn’t as general as Fitness Evolved. Adidas has enlisted almost the entirety of their stable of football, soccer, basketball, tennis, and running stars to assist in a variety of training regimens for the miCoach game, even the new Olympic Women’s Heptathlon gold medal winner, Jessica Ennis, is on board.
Anthony Barker: "Since the release of Microsoft's motion-detection peripheral, Kinect, there has been a nice growing collection of fitness games available on Xbox 360. Picking up a fitness-based game may sound like brilliant idea at the time, because after all, the cost of a game is much cheaper than an annual gym subscription. But let’s be honest, anything that gets you moving will do its part in shedding those calories, and it doesn’t have to be a dedicated fitness title. For those people that prefer a tailored fitness game however, Adidas has teamed up with 505 Games to bring you their own take on the fitness genre with Adidas miCoach."
