Ever had that problem where a friend tells you to check out a YouTube video that they are interested in but you simply are not? How about playing a game over a YouTube video. At least then you can say something along the lines of "Oh, that was very fun."
Ever since YouTube brought out their 'new' video player that supports HTML5, they threw in a secret game which users could play. But, its still their today, months after release.
The App Store has recently passed the 10 billion download milestone. To me that's a very great achievement. But a few people still might be wondering what are some good apps for my iPad. Well in this video, that's exactly what I will show. The applications in this post are applications I use on my iPad daily. Hopefully you will find a few good applications for your iPad. But, you could also get in on this by leaving recommendations in the comments for applications I should get. Hope you enjoyed my post.

For those of you who are not familiar what Kinect is, basically it is a hardware accessory for controller-less gameplay. However, there are only a few games that currently support the functionality of this hardware.
A Korean PC game developer, GamePrix, has released a game called "Divine Souls" and claims that it will support the functionalities of the Kinect in the future. This might be the first time that we hear about PC Games supporting Kinect and Microsoft has not yet confirmed if this is a true possibility. It is also possible that GamePrix may have been mistaken or got a misleading information from someone inside Microsoft.
Even though this news might be very exciting for all the PC gamers out there, they shouldn't hold their breath because Microsoft has not yet confirmed its possibility. Are any of you looking forward to this? Or do you think this will be a redundant move made by Microsoft? Post your thoughts on the comments section.
Youtube hosts some of the biggest internet sensations. One of my personal favorite Youtubers has to be Janne Kaitila (aka Finngamer). Finngamer brings over 168,000 channel views and over 4,900 subscribers. If you are a gamer, you will love his video uploads of his collection and special edition game unboxings. His collection might just make your jaw drop,and recently I had the chance to get a interview with him.
As we all know, Microsoft's newest marvel, Kinect, is going to start being released worldwide next week. Question is, is it really worth our money?
Kinect was first announced on the 1st of June, 2009 at E3 under the pseudonym Project Natal. Not much was said except for the fact that it will be revolutionary, and that it will implement a camera and sensors that would allow you to play without the use of an actual controller.
This is the video demonstration of Project Natal as it was known back then, in action.
Despite the originality that Kinect had to offer, many critics spared no time and immediately shunned it as a "Wii ripoff". It has to be said, Kinect had an eerie resemblance to its Nintendo counterpart.
The main features that separated it from the Wii was the voice control, which allowed the player to give the Xbox simple commands, like turn on, play game, etc. Another was the fact that unlike the Wii, Kinect had absolutely nothing you could hold. It was all up to your hands, contrary to the Wii, which uses a remote and a nun-chuck.
Personally, I'm ecstatically waiting for its release. With a price expected to be from around $100-$200 it shouldn't be that bad. Plus, with a lineup of games already prepared, it seems like it'll have a lasting effect for a while.
So with that being said, only time will tell if Kinect will pull Microsoft out of the gutter, or bring about their potential decline in gaming.
