Twisted Pixel announce Gunstringer for the Kinect

Twisted Pixel, an independent studio best known for hilarious usage of live action footage and poplar XBLA game ‘Splosion Man. Kinect, an extremely advanced peripheral for the Xbox360 best known for being rather expensive and lacking more than a hand full of games worth playing. Combine the two together and you get Gunstringer! but what is Gunstringer? Well………

By the looks of it, a standard platformer/shooter with on-the-rails segments. You know, those things that work perfectly well on all the formats this announcement trailer seems to pooh-pooh? Of course there could be something we’re missing here; perhaps they’ve developed some sort of incredible Kinect based control scheme that’s going to blow us all away. For their sakes I hope so, because it certainly doesn’t look like its going to wow us in the graphics department. Then again, it could just pull a Comic Jumper (Full Review) and be humorous enough to make up for any shortcomings; a strategy Twisted Pixel better realise won’t work forever.
