Diabolical Pitch Review (XBLA)

Diabolical Pitch Review (XBLA)

It takes a lot for me to use my Kinect nowadays.  Most of the games lose their appeal very quickly or just don’t respond well to the Kinect camera.  Many of times, it kind of sits there as a novelty in my house.  The most usage it gets is when I’m too lazy to strap a head set on for some multi-player...
