Eye-kido: PS3's Kung Fu Live

Get it? Aikido, Eye-kido? What? Fine, forget it..

These "Eye" peripherals are pretty stupid, aren't they? A gloried digital camera that uses the player's likeness in your favorite Eye-games like.. Well none come to mind, probably because the Eye peripherals are stupid. Why are they stupid exactly? Because there was never a game like Kung Fu Live for them before.

Kung Fu Live casts your likeness in the mean streets of Backalley USA, where brick walls are your home and belligerent thugs are your guests of honor. Looks like you'll really have to work to clean these streets, pucnhing and kicking your way through waves of meanies. The collision detection looks really slick for an Eye game, with enemies responding timely to the in-game manifestation of your corporeal attacks. That's right. And if that wasn't cool enough, cut scenes seem to be Quick Time Events where an outline is flashed on screen and you have to position your body to fit, capturing you in comic book styled panels. Sick!

I've been anti-Eye peripherals since their Inception, but this Kung Fu Live thing might make me change my tune.
