Connect with Kinect this summer

Want to find out exactly what it’s like to play a game with no controller? Microsoft’s innovative controller-less gameplay system Kinect won’t launch until later this year, but you could get your hands on it as soon as this weekend.
Yup, Microsoft’s taking their new toy on a whirlwind tour of the United States, in what it’s dubbed the "Kinect Experience Mobile Demo Tour." Kinect hardware will be on display and playable at department stores, malls, fairs, and theme parks all around the lower 48 -- and chances are there’s a stop somewhere near you. Read on for the full line-up, courtesy of Kotaku.
