Double Fine’s Kinect Party available free until year’s end
Kinect Party has launched and will be free through December 31. Grab it now from the Xbox Marketplace – make sure you get both the base game and full unlock. Kinect Party is the sequel to Double Fine Happy Action Theater, which both Pat and Mike hailed as an excellent use of Kinect and one of the few truly kid-friendly games available. If you own both you can unlock the original’s activities in the sequel.
Thanks, StrategyInformer.

Intel: Discovered available now through XBLA
Intel: Discovered is a free downloadable Kinect title released this week which teaches you to “be a superstar”. Chris Evans (Captain America, The Avengers) teaches “the secrets of the action hero” while Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman will help you “get styled and learn how to work the runway” and LMFAO’s Redfoo will advise you in how to “rock the party”. The game arrived unannounced yesterday and was the subject of much delighted speculation as to AR games and tie-ins before downloads completed and this odd collection of mini-games was revealed. Still, you can make and share a poster of you and Chris Evans; that seems pretty alright.

Smart As brings brain training to Vita this year
Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training was a surprise killer app for the rebellious little DS, but the genre of games which insult you has gone largely neglected since then. Sony is taking up the slack with Smart As, a “next-gen” brain training app for Vita due in northern autumn. The XDev-developed titles boasts robust social integration so it can bag you out in front of all your friends, too. Hit the PS Blog for more details.
