Xbox 360 Camera insert reveals new games?

Studley · August 26th, 2006, 17:59

The booklet that comes with the Xbox 360 camera has details of a few games in it. There's Uno and Texas Hold Em obviously, but also:

Quote:

Classic Board Games
Play face-to-face with one of 4 classic board games - Checkers, Reversi, Mancala and Chess.

I used to be a bit of a demon chess player, so I'll probably get that one. Mancala?

No release dates shown, but I'm sure it can't be too far off if Microsoft are advertising them? Not sure whether the 4 will be sold separately (probably, the money-grabbing bastards) but the leaflet makes it look like the 4 come as one "Classic Board Games" package.

Edit: I found a link to a picture of the booklet: http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?i...vision3dq1.gif

Hmm and they're not on the last list either. Ought to be simple games though.

How does the camera work with games anyway?

The only one with support at the moment is Uno, the streaming video image from your camera appears in place of where your gamer pic would normally be.

Texas Hold Em doesn't support at the moment, but really should, hopefully it will be in the patch.

Pic/video quality are both excellent btw

Would've expected they had the game finished after 6 months delay or so?

Thats alright but i kinda dont see the point but i suppose it its to appeal to a certain audience and MS seem to be doing that alot now. Which is definatly not a bad thing

I just checked at xbox.com but there's still that GI Joe picture as your gamerpic. Will check my box when I get home this evening.

Studley · August 28th, 2006, 17:02

Yeah, custom pics don't show up on Xbox.com

You can still send a video message to people though, so does that mean that if someone cuts you up in PGR3 I can send them a video of my arse with a voiceover telling them where to stick it?

Yea I can see the Scooby as well lol. I've got the video going as well, but it says a demo run through, but for that size I'd rather have the demo.

I expect you could.

I expect it could also get you banned from Xbox Live for life
