Microsoft issued a trailer featuring two of the new kid-friendly Kinect (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/18/pixars-rush-new-sesame-street-game-coming-to-kinect-for-kid/) games announced yesterday, Kinect Sesame Street TV and Kinect Nat Geo TV. The footage of these two games above reveals the shocking truth: at least in parts, these are an attempt by Microsoft to bring back FMV games, indoctrinating our children into the moribund genre by having them point at moose and triangles.
After the break, you can see a montage of upcoming Kinect games, interspersed with footage of actors pantomiming the movements involved with playing the games (which is also essentially pantomime), and demonstrating realistic expressions of enjoyment.Gallery: Kinect Nat Geo TV (now with bears) (http://www.engadget.com/photos/kinect-nat-geo-tv-now-with-bears/)
