*FamilyFriendlyVideoGames.com Favorite* - This was one of our favorite family-friendly video games we saw at the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles in June.
Deca Sports Freedom is a compilation of 10 different games for Microsoft’s Kinect camera system that lets players use their body as a controller.
During the E3 video game trade show in Los Angeles, three different Deca Sports Freedom games were featured.
In tennis, players simply hold their hands as if they are tennis rackets, with palms extended to simulate the racket.
Archery is a bow and arrow game that asks you to pretend to hold a bow, pulling back with one arm, and then aiming and releasing to fire your on-screen arrow.
Paintball puts you in the middle of a paintball arena, running forward and backward by leaning, while holding your outsretched hand like a gun, and firing by shaking your hand as if you were really shooting a paintball gun.
From the games we saw, it looks like there will be a good variety of games in Deca Sports Freedom that can appeal to different age levels. Not every game will be for everyone in your family, but there’s something for everybody.
