Kinect Star Wars uses the motion technology for lightsaber slashing, force throwing, kicking, jumping, and the like, and while I'm still not entirely sold on this tech in a full game ( Fable: The Journey, you're my only hope), I gotta admit this demo was a lot more fun than I was expecting. When Kinect first hit E3 last year, the first thought through my mind and many others, I'm sure, was 'So how soon til we get to use the Force?' Well, the answer is now! Or, more accurately, in about six months. The demo didn't sell me completely, by any means, but it definitely has me optimistic. Sega gets a lot of flack in general for distributing sub-par movie based video games, so I'm very curious to see how this turns out. And huzzah, that potential seems to be being met! Nice visuals and environment, stellar voice acting, and fighting mechanics reminiscent of Arkham Asylum or even some recent Prince of Persia, this was the only movie-to-video-game adaptation of its ilk shown at the entire conference that I thought I'd actually play again ( despite fun enough gameplay and a script by Marv Wolfman, the design and tone of Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters were a big turn off, Cars 2 was cute, but not for me, couldn't care less about Transformers: Dark of the Moon and while the Kirk/Spock co-op in the Star Trek is promising, I didn't get close enough to the game to judge anything for myself.) The free flow style combat in particular got my heart rate elevated for about a half second, which is more than I can say for a lot of the games I tried out over the course of these three days. The big story surrounding this game starting back at Wondercon was how it held the potential to not suck. So without further ado - my favorite movie related finds of E3 2011.

Sure, I can't speak to games like Uncharted 3 or Skyrim beyond what we've all seen online, but my film bloggery 6th sense successfully managed to track down and get in depth with my most anticipated movie and comic based games.

Everyone else wanders over to the Activision Booth to play Modern Warfare 3 or 2K to pounce on Bioshock: Infinite only to find nothing more than a poster as the only proof of their existence. For those of you in the dark about how E3 works, most of the major new games had demos that were only watchable or playable by the gaming elite, by appointment only. I had the pleasure of attending E3 last week, a beautiful yet confounding place that makes one feel privileged and deprived in equal measure.
