E3 2011: The Gunstringer Preview
You can call Twisted Pixel anything you want but you can never say the folks behind such classics as ‘Splosion Man and Comic Jumper are uncreative. The Gunstringer is the team’s first Kinect title and it is classified as a marionette-based Kinect platformer/shooter. In the game, players control a gun-toting cowboy marionette with their hands. You simple hold out your hands in front of you like you would hold a puppet, and the rest is cake.
