Like the Nintendo Wii before it, Microsoft's Kinect has been braving the storm of new peripheral adolescence, awkwardly shuffling (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-adventures-preview-unearths-our-frightening-lack-of-coord/) users through jump, wave, lean and jiggling gameplay, typically at a leisurely pace. Sure it's had its moments on the dance floor (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-dance-central-hands-on-or-how-we-learned-to-stop-caring/), but aside from being a good listener (http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/kinect-integration-in-ghost-recon-future-soldier-hands-off-vi/), the spatially aware sensor hasn't exactly redefined core gaming. Almost a year and half after its launch (http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/04/kinect-for-xbox-360-review/), however, the often hacked (http://www.engadget.com/tag/kinect+hack/) device is taking another crack at reaching the hardcore. We dropped in on Xbox's spring showcase this weekend to find out how that effort is going -- see what we found after the break.
