Not sure if the 360 version of Minecraft will be kinect only. but using kinect on the PC was a new way of motion capture where it creates the things using the camera and software.

of course, might be a “timed” exclusive. a PS3 version could have pc-ps3 multiplayer ala Portal 2.

Wha…? How…? I thought this “would never work on a console”(pc snobs). And here it is a 360 exclusive… On kinnect!? Which many a xbot had dismissed as “not having core games”.
Bit of a double fuck you to those guys huh?
