Kinect games feature in-game product placements

Published on July 15, 2010 by   ·   No Comments

Kinect games are also venues for product placements of non-gaming brands. In a Kinect Sports bowling game, there were bowling pins that carried the logo of T-mobile, a wireless network company.

While this does not seem significant, some critics hate the fact that there are more and more in-game product placements that are not related to the games they?re featured in.

Sources confirm that most of Kinect Sports? games will feature non-gaming brands as product placements.

The Kinect will be available in stores by early November.
