Kinect’s Milo in action

Some great work going on here in the world of games and human interaction. I’m eager to try this and I hope there won’t be any delay in the response or action.

This irresistible game returns with a sequel… looking forward to playing it when it comes out in 2011. I’m a bit worried that gamers’ expectations will be ridiculously high and that Portal 2 might fall flat on its face, but time shall tell.
