The Gunstringer is the next game from the demented minds over at Twisted Pixel. You play as a puppet (via Kinect controls) who's out for revenge against the gang that betrayed him. We've seen the game a few times and the big news that came out of E3 was that The Gunstringer is coming to retail now.
Michael Wilford, CEO at Twisted Pixel, explains to us why Gunstringer made the switch to retail in our hands-on interview. We also see a dude bang a f*cking alligator. I love videogames so much.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

That alligator scene was hilarious. I was not expecting that when I watched this on YouTube.
Hamza: Did they say whether or not we'll be able to play with a normal controller? It looks simple enough to map to a controller, and it would be a shame if it was a Kinect exclusive.
They're going with just Kinect controls. You're controlling a puppet so the Kinect is kind of simulating what it would be like to control a puppet. It controls rather well too and it's one of the few Kinect titles out there that's done it right so far.

Also, nice hug at the end, :)
E3 was upsetting. Kinect lost almost all inklings of potential.
