E3 2010: Kinect Achieves 'Reverse Latency'?
The Star Wars game for Kinect for Xbox 360 is the one that's getting most serious gamers exciting, so it's good that a video showing it being demo'd has been spotted on Youtube by MCV.

He can see things before they happen. It's a Jedi trait.

Or maybe the "game" involves copying what you see on screen, not controlling what you see on screen. I mean, it'd make for a pretty crappy game... but then so does Parappa the Rapper when you look at it like that...
