What KineticBoom.com Does
KineticBoom.com is designed to be THE site for kinetic gaming. By kinetic gaming, we mean those games that require you to use more than your thumbs and your brain to play.
The regular staff at KineticBoom.com used to write for RewiredMind.com, a UK-based game site that saw more downtime than a student in a gap-year. The main cause of that downtime, was the sheer amount of games that we had to cover, which we had absolutely no interest in. Reviewing the latest Call of Duty is great fun, but when Generic Apocalypse-Based Shooter Forty Five drops through your letterbox, you find that your heart begins to sink. Plus, when you’re spending your time playing games that are nothing short of appalling, you lose track of what you enjoy. You don’t have time to have a quick blast of FIFA or New Super Mario Bros., because you have a pile of uninteresting and uninvolving games to trudge through.
What we do love, though, are games that get us moving. Whether it be the limited movement of breaking out our faux-Strat in Guitar Hero, or failing to body-pop our way around the Dancing Stage mat, we’re all about it. With the industry finally realising that the technology is available to provide more interesting ways of controlling games, we thought it was time that those games had their own site, and that is what you’re looking at.
We cover games that feature a good amount of Xbox Kinect or PlayStation Move support, as well as the more notable Wii titles that we can pluck out of that particular sea of mediocrity. Occassionally, we’ll break out and review games with innovative controllers of their own, but as there are a limited amount of those, it won’t be all that often.
Review Policy
KineticBoom.com takes on much of the old review policy from RewiredMind.com, with the main mantra being “Honesty above all.”
We don’t take kickbacks in exchange for review scores. We don’t dress things up in order to smooth over relationships with publishers. We don’t pull punches in order to stay in favour with certain parties. If something is broken, we’ll tell you in the review text and – if necessary – in the review score as well.
In our humble opinion, if a review isn’t the genuine opinion of the writer, what was the point in bothering to write it to begin with? We want to tell you what we think. If you disagree, then feel free to tell us so in the relevant comment box on the article in question.
And…that’s about it. Keep it movin’!
