It's been nearly a year since Microsoft released the Kinect hardware and now we're finally starting to see more titles which use the motion control system drip into the marketplace. Leedmees, an Xbox Live Arcade game in which you use your body to create surfaces for adorable little critters to crawl across, has now received a release date of September 7.

Leedmees looks to me to be just a few notches above what the EyeToy brought to the table a generation ago but at least it's something. Did you know?
