Project Natal officially named Kinect

[nation]

While there has been plenty of speculation as to what the official name of Project Natal will be, all of those questions were supposed to end on Sunday night at a Microsoft event.

Now it looks like the official name has been posted by USA Today (the story has since been removed) and the motion device is officially called Kinect. There were also a number of games announced including:

Kinectimals
You can play with virtual animals. Lol cat Kinect!

Joyride
A racing game where players steer with their hands.

Kinect Sports
Boxing, bowling, beach vollyball, track and field, soccer and table tennis.

Kinect Adventures
River rafting with friends.

Dance Central
A dancing version of So You Think You Can Dance.

Star Wars and Disney Games

So far today we've seen posts on NeoGaf pointing towards the name "kinetic" based on an old patent filing. There has also been a post pointing to an Xbox 360 redesign, though we have no indication of its credibility.

Natal is a much better name and the lineup of games is terrible. Maybe it will get better.

This looks stupid as fuck. Stick to controllers plz.

I can't understand why people are creaming over this. It looks nice and shiny, that's about it. Move is more precise, has a much better lineup, it uses a controller, and developers are more behind Move. In other words, as it stands PlayStation Move is the superior product.

Its a shame the lineup of games is this bad. Pretty much nothing for hardcore games. Sony has a fighting game and SOCOM 4 supporting motion control. Microsoft needs to push for some hardcore games.

Haha okay Nation.

I see this as a good step in gaming. I'm all for innovation in video games. We need to see more of it.

Hopefully, Natal can deliver some fun. Elder Scrolls on Natal would be the shit.
