Twisted Pixel, purveyors of such downloadable games as ‘Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, and [name redacted because they’re afraid Capcom is going to steal it], revealed today that they’re working on a new 360 game called Gunstringera game about a skeletal cowboy marionette who’s out for vengence. Nice. It’s a Kinect game, which means that, instead of pressing A to shoot the bad guys, you wave your hand around in the air like a crazy person, which I’m sure sounds like a lot of fun to someone.

At the very least, Gunstringer marks an important milestone for the Kinect: the release of its first-ever videogame. Check out the announcement trailer below:

  1. “Gunstringer marks an important milestone for the Kinect: the release of its first-ever videogame”

    You wrote that line knowing full-well that you would get a scowl from me, Mr. Franzen.

  2. It still looks like it’s more of a party game than something with an actual plot, but it’s a step in the direction. Maybe this game will lead to more mature titles that will make shelling out the money to buy a Kinect worth it.

  3. Someone needs to tell these developers that flailing your arms like a mime standing on a live wire isn’t immersive. Remember that word, Microsoft? Immersion? The supposed goal of games?
