Sonic Free Riders is, ultimately, a fairly standard racer that works well for Kinect. Pretending that you're on a hoverboard is actually a lot of fun. The tracks are well designed, the level of board customization makes the game more robust than many racers, and the numerous multiplayer modes keep the game entertaining past the main missions. It's not amazing, but it's definitely one of the games you should get to round out your Kinect collection.

After counting down the 10 best Sonic games last week, Matt Beaudette of Gaming Irresponsibly runs down his least favorite Sonic games.
Online video game retailer Newegg have launched a new Kinect Games Spring sale offering games from a low $14.99.
FIFA Soccer 12 ($39.99) is the Goldbox today, and is headlining a day full of video game lightning deals. The line up has some misses, like Puzzler World, but there are also quite a few winners here, especially Ace Combat: Assault Horizon and No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise.
I'm thinking the guy who reviewed the game for Joystiq didn't quite get the jist of it. How else would you explain a 1/5 from that guy and a 7.5/10 here? Maybe his Kinect is defective. :)
