    I hate to be a Grammar Nazi, but I counted four errors in your review, Joe:

    $10 DOLLARS –> either $10 or 10 DOLLARS, not both
    $.99 CENTS –> see above
    YOU MURDER –> YOU MURDERER
    THATS SICK –> THAT’S SICK

    It reminds me of going to the store and seeing something priced as “.75[cent sign]“. That means I should be able to buy it for a penny and get change back.

    “Because bad grammar is kewl!”

    The kinect didn’t seem to recognize the side of Joe’s stomach. So with the shoulder pads his shadow looked like either a skeleton warrior or a Turian from mass effect.

    I recently asked M$ why they dont price more games at 400 MS points instead of 800. This is what they had to say:

    “We’re sorry but we dont understand the question. Last time we checked, the number 800 is higher than 400. Why would we go out of our way to choose a lesser number?”

    Ahhhh, the EyeToy. I mean Kinect. I mean EyeToy. I mean… EyeToy. Still proving to be fun for giggles 8 years on. So, where is Play PS3, Sony? The DLC model would have suited that game perfectly and instead they give us absolutely nothing (except a card game and a tamagotchi, neither of which are suitable for a party environment). Seriously, WTF?!?

    EDIT : Oh, and this video gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘jump cuts’.

      Hey, video editing is hard work. Maybe he needed a break of sorts.

      Game does look fun, but I’m not sure that even 400 points is the right price for a game that’s $1 on any ap store. That’s still $5.

          No, he needed a break from playing crappy movie-licensed games. He has to play them before he can make a video about them. In fact, he pretty much has to beat them.

          Also, it’s possible this was intended to be a backup review–to be released when he’s too busy. He just happened to have to use it right away.

    Man, that bit at the end where Joe fell with the sword could have ended really badly… But it looks like you had fun with the watermelon splitting, and both the watermelon and the table got what they deserved.

    I can kinda sorta guess that the bloopers were added in to fill the running time a bit (not that I mind at all, I love blooper reels), but I honestly don’t mind – don’t get me wrong, I enjoy most of Joe’s videos regardless of how long they are, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more short and sweet reviews like this in the future.

    Wow! Nice cut! :D

    Although be careful with these cheap swords. They may be sharp but they are often shoddily made: Poor heat treatment, stainless steel (brittle. carbon steel is much more durable) and worst of all, some of them come with blade attached to rat-tail tang which snaps from the welding spot, sending the blade flying.

    If yours is built with full tang, then its not as dangerous but the blade may still snap or shatter from misuse or badly botched cuts, depending how it was heat treated and what steel was used, so take care.

    A lot of people have been injured by these show-piece swords. Just a friendly warning from old sword hobbyist.

    I have a Windows Phone 7 phone and bought Fruit Ninja on it. It was $3.00. I paid 3 bucks for a version of the game that has achievements and probably won’t be updated as frequently as the other mobile versions (though I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth out of it). When looking at it that way, having an HD version of the game to play on a TV with 2-player support and on a piece of technology I shelled $150 for (I haven’t bought a Kinect, so this is just a “what if” scenario), 10 bucks doesn’t sound THAT bad. Still, it seems a tad overpriced, but looks pretty fun. Good review, Joe!
