[Audyssey] Star wars XBox
Hey yawl, I know we got a lot of fellow star wars fans on here, so I thought you might be interested in this article from comic con that posted earlier today: Microsoft Corp. unveiled a limited edition Xbox 360 console at a Comic-Con panel on Thursday that will be modeled after the character R2-D2, with a wireless gold-colored controller resembling his droid pal C-3PO. The console will make the character's signature beeping sounds when the white-and-blue console is turned on and the disc tray is opened. It will also feature a 320-gigabyte hard drive, the largest available for Microsoft's gaming system. The Star Wars-themed console, available later this year, will cost $449.99 and come with a white Kinect sensor, headset and Kinect Star Wars, an action-adventure game utilizing the camera-based controller system. Kinect Star Wars developers also confirmed that a pod-racing mode based on Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace, would be featured in the game. The game allows players to use gestures to drive pods across intergalactic landscapes, as well as wield light sabers and other powers of The Force. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Star wars XBox
Hi Darren, Well, yes and no. If you are talking about 100% accessibility the answer is no. That said there are some mainstream titles for the XBox such as fighting games, wrestling games, and things of that sort we can play if the person wants to practice at it and use a bit of memorization for menus and things. So is it possible to play mainstream games on the XBox? Yes, with sighted help and practice. Are the games fully accessible? No, there will always be some degree of inaccessibility when picking up mainstream games as they were not developed with us in mind.
