First Look!!
OK, these guys are looking just as cute as the Kinectimals. Maybe even cuter. So lets not pretend that you'll be crowned the King or Queen of Cooltown any time soon if someone catches you playing with a soppy wide-eyed dragon, but the chance to customise your pet and make them unique has definitely got our attention!
As well as creating and colouring your pet, and playing with them as they romp around your room, there are challenges and championships to train for. As your pet copies everything you do, you'll need to run and jump to get them through obstacle courses. Maybe think twice about that sneaky extra Mars bar, eh?

Look, we love Kinectimals. They're lovely and fun. But they're not exactly cool are they? Wouldn't it be fun if you could customise your virtual pet? Maybe give them wings. Or turn them into a robot. Or give them scales and horns. Well, that's exactly what new Kinect game Fantastic Pets lets you do!
Kinect will "read" the layout of your room, work out the distance and depth of all your furniture, and then your pet will be able to hide under your real sofa, or jump up onto a real table on the screen. It doesn't always work, but it looks really cool when it does!
Fantastic Pets won't win any prizes for originality, as it's basically a mash-up between Kinectimals and Eye Pet. It's still pretty good though, doing things that those games couldn't, and if you have a taste for virtual pets that are a little bit out of the ordinary, this is worth a look.
