The secret’s finally out! Over the past year we have been working with Rare and Microsoft Games Studios (MSG) on building  Rare.co.uk and now the official Facebook application to support the Xbox Kinect launch title Kinect Sports.

The press release went out just moments ago and we couldn’t be happier with what we have all achieved working alongside everyone at Rare and MSG. Rare have done an amazing job building a fantastically enjoyable game, leaving some of us in the studio resorting to deep heat after getting a little too competitive playing Kinect Sports yesterday (UK launch day).

The Facebook application allows anyone with Kinect Sports to join international leagues to put their skills up against the rest of the world,  create and join custom leagues with friends and view their Kinect Sports videos which can be uploaded via Kinect Share.

Just our long jump skills to work on now….

This evening we will be watching the live stream from E3 in Los Angeles where Microsoft will be announcing the launch of the new Xbox project, ‘Natal’ ‘Kinect’ hardware. We will then be pressing the button to launch the new Rare site which will be showcasing some pretty exciting content. http://www.rare.co.uk keep hitting refresh, should be launching very soon…..

Beers, pizza and big sighs of relief all round. If you’re in Nottingham then come join the party!
