Today we have another Kinect dance title, this time in the form of Dance Paradise, a game which lets you "turn your living room into a dance floor".
Mircosoft's new Kinect motion-sensing camera scans your entire body and uses it as a controller for the game - so your every move is reflected on screen. So in terms of Dance Paradise, it can track every body part as you dance and score you on how well you perform.
Stick characters make their way down coloured tracks (a bit like the notes on games like Rock Band), before reaching a circle at the front - it's once its on this circle you need to adopt the same pose as it, and you get points depending on your timing and how well you followed the move. Dance Paradise takes your Xbox 360 avatar and uses that to represent you in the game, as you dance in a variety of brightly coloured locations - from beaches, to casinos to discos. There's also a multiplayer mode, where you can face off against a friend to see who's the best dancer.
Pharrell Williams certainly seems impressed by your dancing skills
