  • Oh good lord what were they thinking...

    Game Boat 'accessory' ideal for Kinect Adventures, perfect for the reality of your home | Joystiq



    "Microsoft's Kinect may have jettisoned controllers from the living room, but Atomic Accessories isn't ready to be swept away in a sea change. "Game Boat is de facto the first accessory for the peripheral which doesn't need any," mumbles the product description, tasting the cold steel of a gun barrel. "Ideal to comfortably play in 2 gamers simultaneously, still without being clumsy in the living room."

    Hey, Martha. I love what you've done with the place! It seems so elegant now, which is the opposite of clumsy. The giant dinghy centerpiece really ties it all together and -- oh, are these stitched barnacle cushions on your whale couch? I love it.

    Perhaps we're being unfair and ignorant of the real genius behind the Game Boat -- as a brilliant plan to save face. Remember when the head of product acquisition got drunk out of his mind because his cat choked on a stapler? "Sir, I don't think we need that many. Or any," Susan argued. But noooooo. "Shooshan, order the goh, goddamn boatsh! Twenty twelf ish jusht around the bender. You shaw the mooovie."

    Aside from the tenuous anchoring provided by Kinect Adventures (which features people standing in a boat as they hurtle through an unrealistic river slalom), the Game Boat is tethered to the "reality of your home" because, well, it's so gosh-darn useful. It's easily inflated within minutes with the included pump, compatible with any model Xbox 360 (and possibly other systems), supports two seated people, and is fully functional "at the sea or at the pool." Why?

    Well, at least Activision learned from Tony Hawk: Ride.

    I was hoping we wouldn't see that kind of idiocy happen again this soon, though the Kinect and Move "fighting" games are just as thoughtless and stupid as this.

    Then again, I'm still of the opinion Move and Kinect are pretty thoughtless products. The use of a camera is proving be a lot more restrictive than advertised. I wasn't impressed with Move Sport Champions at all - not because I had done it before on Wii, but because it was more restrictive and poorly executed. It actually gave me a whole new appreciation for Wii Sports Resort.

      I usually jump on the bandwagon of stuff because of this little thing called addiction. lol I want to see it and play it ...its kind of like a kid that likes to take things apart to see how they work. I haven't even given Move or Kinect a second thought. I have a Wii and when I want to get up and move, thats what I turn on. Unless something comes out for one that is a MUST HAVE (like a FF title...oh good lord don't do it SE...don't do it!), I won't be purchasing either until they are in the bargain bin. Give it 6 months. lol

        I don't have anything to add, I just like saying "GAME IT REAL".

          Does it also include realistic drowning should you decide to throw 10 kids in that thing?

            Disappointed. When I read Game Boat I was expecting some sort of Casino ride.




            Not that I actually play myself, but the few times I've actually gone to a real Casino I just enjoyed watching people lose their money and the reactions that followed sometimes.

              My sister is addicted to gambling. She's recently been running around complaining to anyone that will listen how she can't afford to get a new furnace and winter is coming and her and her b/f's cars need a lot of work which they can't afford too. Then you find out that she's been out on 2 gambling trips (3-4 days at a time) this month that we know of and who knows how many times she went to the local downtown casino in that month too. She always takes my mother to that one and uses her as an excuse..."Well mom wanted to get out and go gambling so we had to take her..." It's not pretty Ray, its not pretty!

                And here I thought I wouldn't find something more retarded than the inflatable Wii kart.

                    Given that child's posture, height and vacant stare, I can't help but think he's going to have a trip to the hospital in his immediate future.

                    I also love the fourth icon from the top on the right side of the box. I wonder if the caption is "Doom Imminent"

                      Wow, if that inflata-cart weren't so dorky, it would almost be cool.

                      Duct-taping a wii-wheel to a Power Wheels with a dead battery would be a little cooler. For a ten-year-old.
