History [edit]
Microsoft acquired BigPark in 2009, a few months prior to the announcement of the Kinect sensor (known then as "Project Natal").[1] Their first project was to be Joy Ride, a casual racing title which incorporated Xbox Live Avatars. The game was originally intended to be a free Xbox Live Arcade game, but was eventually renamed Kinect Joy Ride and became a launch title for Kinect.
Games [edit]
- Kinect Joy Ride — Xbox 360 (2010)
- Kinect Sports: Season Two — Xbox 360 (2011)
- Joy Ride Turbo — Xbox LIVE Arcade (2012)
