Roman Empire on X-Box

[Medicus matt]

The most fun thing to do was to go "Peasant Bowling" where you grab one peasant and throw/roll him into a crowd of peasants and see how many you can knock down.

Really? I thought the most fun thing was wandering around Rome thinking 'Now, if walk down here...turn left...walk a bit more etc then I should reach the XXXX of XXXX"...and finding that you did. I thought that was brilliant.

That and the fact that if you went up onto the roof of the Pantheon you found that they'd included the architectural mistakes. Properly geeky.

The best use of the Kinect so far has been with Skyrim, where it allows the use of voice commands for game saves, map views, inventory etc which means that you don't have to fart about and drop out out of the action to carry out mundane tasks.
