Microsoft's re-revealed Crytek's "Codename Kingdoms", which now goes by the name Ryse.

Microsoft showed off a trailer for the title at its E3 press conference, depicting an age of Roman warriors and footage of a player stabbing, punching and headbutting opponents with the Kinect sensor.

We'll have media for you shortly. We wonder if they'll put in any sexy mini-games?

Here's some official info from a just issued press release: "Be the warrior in this cinematic, visceral, action-packed experience that brings ancient Rome to life through the stunning visuals and innovative gameplay that Crytek is famous for. Ryse defines what's next on Xbox 360 by creating a truly immersive experience that only Kinect can enable."

    Kinect just makes it look bad. Why does anyone want to stand in front of their tv and jump around like a moron? To me, kinect has no appeal, it would never feel like there is any feedback. Punching the air is not satisfying. At least a hand held controller rumbles and provides some feedback.

    But hey, that's just me.
