Get Up and Go

Every year my parents get one big gift for the entire family to enjoy. This year they boughta kinect for our X box 360. If you are unware of what exactly this is don't worry so was I. It is bsically the Wii for x box except you use your whole body as your controller. I wasn't sure how accurate this would be but it urns out that the sensor is extremely smart and can tell whenthere are too few or too many players in the picture, it can tel whenyou move too far to the right or left. Then it will follow you. It also happens to be a lot more fun than regular video games I think because you get to use your whole body and yor avatar does exactly everything you do (like dance crazily :). When we got this we also got the kinect sports game. I happen to relly like this one. In the game you can play against other poeple and have tournaments and stuff. The entire family had a blast playing it and these are a few of the pictures and videos we took playing. Sorry if some of the videos are sideways. I could not figure out how to turn them.

Beach Volley Ball

Soccer

This is josh and Johnny playig Soccer. All you had to do was stick your foot out to block and the other person had to pass it to their other players to shoot a goal.

Me and Ben playing Soccer. Ben kept standing in front of me so the sensor couldn't pick up when i was blocking the ball. There fore he won.

This is my brother Josh and Johnny playing soccer.

Boxing

In boxing you just had to block and hit the other person. Pretty self explainitory. This is my Dad and my brother Johnny boxing.

This is Christina and Josh boxing. Christina was coonvinced that it did better if you karate chopped instead of punching so that is what she did. Need less to say she lost....

Bowling Game

My Brother Joshua bowling. This game was harder than it looked because the lane had a slope to it so the ball was constantly going to the right if it did not have enough speed to it.

This is my brother Ben.

My Brother Nickalaus bowling.

Track and Field Game

This is the long jump. All you had to do was run in place lifting your knees up as far as you could and then jump in place with both feet off the floor. Christina thouht you actually had to stick your leg out though. It was amusing to say the least.

This is me doing the long jump.

This is me hrowing a javelin during the track meet. The fathest I got was 94.6 but that was just once. Most of the time I got around 55 meters.

So in the track game of kinect, you ave to run a 210 of hurdles. Although the higher you get your knees the faster you run. We found this out after this round. Sorry that the video is side ways but I can't figure out how to turn the picture.

After all that hard work what do you do?............DANCE!!!!
