First of all, thanks for waiting patiently. We know you like Feedback as early as we can get it to you, but this was one of those rare instances where our hands were tied by outside forces. Namely, the all-seeing, all-knowing, Hal-esque eye of Kinect. But now that it's midnight on the East Coast, LET FEEDBACK RING!
Also, we did some nifty stuff with this episode, like finally figuring out how the ginormous control board can route an outside call right into our ears (and yours), so we were able to have Adam call in from the steps of the Supreme Court in Washington D.C. after the violent video game hearings. Pretty cool stuff. We promise to only use this technology for (mostly) good.
Here's your handy, non-motion controlled guide to what we talked about:
- A woman in Florida kills her son while playing the ultra-violent game Farmville. Wait, what?!
- Minecraft p asses over 500,000 copies sold, and over 1.6 million users registered. Not bad for a game that's still in alpha! Thinking about diving in? Check out Steve "Crafty" Johnson's Minecraft tutorial before you do.
- PlayStation Phone photos surface. Do you want it? Do you care? Are too many games in your pocket right now? Wait, you do have a phone in there, right?
- Microsoft buys the motion sensing / 3D firm Canesta. Are they shutting down the competition? Or trying to make Kinect self-aware?
- Oh, and of course, a huge discussion about Kinect. What did we think about it? How are the launch titles? Listen and find out.
Feedback: Where when the controller ends up being us, we're definitely going to need a new set of batteries.

I think this guy summed up Kinect in a nutshell very nicely.

"That's a given. You pay $150 for a new piece of hardware with just a few games that support it, relying solely on the potential it has. Things need to change before Kinect is truly worth it, especially for core gamers."

I don`t have a problem with there reveiw of Kinect. What I have a problem with is the fact that they`ve been Sh(beep!)- ting all over it since E3 And stating how there were no remotely interesting titles coming out at launch, Now all of a sudden there in love with it and can`t wait to get there hands on it? I`ve read alot of other reveiws on many other sites and none of them were as high on Kinect as Feedback seems to be...
And I agree with alot of the other comments posted here, Finding humor in a mother that shook her baby to death was rather tasteless.

I have been reading all of these post and feel that there is a real need to slow things down and look objectively here. I have posted on numerous occasions that there is definitely a skew on the reviewing of Microsoft products on this site. I think it is very important to leave the heated tone behind and look rationally at the facts. There could not be a conspiracy, the paying off of G4 by Microsoft would logistically be impossible to keep hidden.
Although i do not believe that there is any illegal dealing happening under the table here, i do see a very sharp lack of journalistic integrity. It is next to impossible to expect an unbiased review in some aspect from G4 or any other technology website due to the fact that there is no accounting for taste.
I find it very distasteful to lay accusations that G4 is accepting any bribes when in essence, all that is occurring is poor reporting of individual preference, This is where G4 fails. Having personal preference is fine and a God given right, but to present both sides objectively is the responsibility of the critic, When you stack a panel with a group of people who only like one thing, for what ever reason, you are never going to get the full story and you will inherently get excuses made for the flaws in the thing they love.
What G4 lacks is balance. The construction of the network and the site was meant to be a vehicle to talk, review, and address issues surrounding games, tech and popular culture. That is a wide field to play in. With regards to the gaming side of this model, G4 has yet to provide a balanced coverage to its viewers . What becomes more evident is the appearance of a group of people having an international platform to discuss and make excuses for what they like and berate the things they don't. There is nothing wrong with this, however, the internet is replete with opinion based blogs and sites. But if a site like G4 wants to be taken seriously and not get tagged as "biased" or "fanboys" then they need to balance their scope of review and tastes to encompass their viewers. Ultimately, if the people at G4 want to stop getting over emotionally charged "fanboy" rants about payoffs and bias, then start respecting all of your viewers and give a more balanced platform for "all the thing you care about". Perhaps a way to stop the very popular notion that G4 is a pro Microsoft outlet (if it is untrue that is) is to randomize the links on the website for game reviews. Perhaps you may not have noticed, but when ever an individual searches for a game review on this site, with the exception of console exclusive games, the link immediately takes you to the XBOX 360 review first, just a thought.
There is no conspiracy here, just people exactly like those who watch the site and the T.V. channel. The only difference is they have an entire television network and website to express their preferences and chide those who don't agree.

Wow come on Feedback Panel, bring back Adam Sessler please. I felt like i was watching a Microsoft Kinect infomercial. The fact that you almost had nothing bad to say about Kinect seems quite odd to be honest. They way you guys advertised it makes it seems like Microsoft just stumbled onto a magical elixir that's perfect.
"Ps Move is a hassle to set up...."
" There were no instuctions that came with it..."
" The controller is over complicated...."
Either you have never experienced move or you've been bought off. If you were just covering Kinect then i don't see the reason to bring PS move up for contrast. I don't see why you need instuctions to calibrate move when it's on-screen just like Kinect. This is where knowing how to read typically applies. There are countless reviews that debunk your claim on the "perfect" Kinect. You failed to point out that these so-called built from the ground up games for kinect have already been done. If you look at Harmonix's Antigravity for ps2 eyetoy, you will see a close resemblance to "Kinect Adventures". You guys should only let Adam do product reviews since he seems like the only one who's first system wasn't a xbox360. You guys looks like you're trying to fit in with the rest of society. You are afraid to speak objectively anything deemed popular by the masses. I guarantee you all own a COD game, Iphone/Ipad, and (only) a 360. Will some one on the panel who looks like that haven't been bought off please stand up?

I have nothing to say about kinect but I will respond when they crap on the move. Comments like the move does not work or it hard to calibrate is just false. When my little sister can calibrate the move with no problem and then they get on feedback and say it hard to do I have to call bs on that. Again I can't comment on the kinect because I have not tried it yet.

awww man, the fanboys have really shown their faces on this one.
They're called opinions guys, its ok for someone to like kinect more than the move.
no one is attacking the move
no one is falsely praising kinect.
and most importantly no one is going to die.
They are just sharing opinions.
and another thing, I am shocked that you guys believe our beloved feedback crew would take bribe money... especially after a soapbox so strongly against commending video games for anything besides quality.
I was really hoping that the g4 audience wouldn't react this way.

that guy kevin kinda looks like victor from x men origins no?

KINGDOM HEARTS 3 IS COMING OUT!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? NO WAY!!!!! :D :D : D

Wow, way to make fun of a death of baby.
Show some respect???

C'mon feedback crew. Mario obviously has the most sequels.

Great job, folks!. Thanks for another great show! it's actually kind of refreshing to hear that Kinect isn't the big let down some expected it to be. Sure, it's geared towards a certain market at the moment (families, casual, etc), but it's a pretty neat bundle of tech.
Great to see Jake on Feedback. More Jake, Matt,and Lefler please!

it's a playstation eye toy.

are dead babies really the best joke material? just saying...

But see ehres the problem. I can tell you what they did blatantly in this episode, which is kiss Microsfots ass, but naturaly when confronted with that they will deny it and anyone who defends the site will deny it and defend them blindly. thats the problem. No one is going to be open to the idea that they did act like this. And im (and others who are thinking this same thing) are going to be made to look like the ones with the problem.
crackbomber
they do seem like microsoft better for some reason everything about connect is perfect according to them it wouldn't surprise me if they pulled one from under the desk and tried to sale it g4 pitchmen.lol...
paulbvarela
they said that the move was too precise and that, that might turn some gamers off???. kinect has glitches, but its fun to move around and kids can play (jee golly)...... . they also said that the move came out of nowhere but thats only because g4 marketed it like it came out of nowhere
the kinect was talked about everyday until it launched so that it didnt come out of nowhere and they can say "it came at the perfect time yay!"
ps move games cost, at most $30/10 psn games +$100(move)=$130 *integrated into third party games*
kinect games- $50 +150 (kinect)= $200 *not integrated into anything but minigames*

First of to the aholes upset because people are questioning g4's motive in this review. First off I am not a fanboy I have a 360 and a ps3. And actually I play more 360 than any other system. I used to have a wii but it was a paper weight and so I traded it in for a ps move. So far I love the move. And that would be fine if kinect was really good because I would buy that too. I buy everything and anything gaming. I buy 2-3 games a month during primetime holiday season. I am not a fanboy. I just think it is odd that many reviews mention all the technical shortcomings of kinect. Yet the only place that says it's perfect is g4. They say "oh its so easy to setup" when other people say its a pain. It just seems very conflicting and I want to know why. Maybe all the people at g4 have 15 feet of space and legitimately had no issues but still it's strange. And you would think they would of tested the limitations of the product by puting it in smaller rooms etc. etc. Not only that but they asked around... Did you play any games you didn't like? Not one of them can name one crappy game. Even though I know for a fact Adreniline Misfits is awful, most of the fitness games are bad, some people said kinect adventures is bad. I mean I would love for this thing to be awesome. I would love for it to revolutionize the way I play games. But until they release some quality "core" titles, they won't get a dime from me. Although I am sure they don't care considering how many games I buy anyway.

I hate to be that guy, but you guys dont find it odd that in the PS Move episode they pretty much all hated on it then when kinect comes out, after saying many weeks beforehand that they have no interest in it, suddenly there in love with it and dont really find flaws in it? Really you dont?
