Weekend gaming?

My weekend gaming was - bar a quick session of Ashes-inspired International Cricket 2010 - family focussed. Most of the time was spent on Kinectimals and Donkey Kong Country Returns. The latter is a great nostalgia trip. Shame it had to replicate the insane difficulty level of old too. Did gamers simply have more patience then? I certainly must have done.

Kinectimals on the Xbox 360/Kinect is firmly aimed at the under 10s and went down well with my five year old daughter. This was despite Kinect having a few issues with my front room - mainly it not being quite big enough - that caused a few annoying pauses while the camera rescanned. A bit of furniture fiddling sorted things out though and generally I'm a fan of Kinect. The space thing is an issue though.

Anyway, what about you? How was your gaming weekend?
