Bethesda really likes the way the beta patches have been working on the PC for Skyrim. Because of this, they've decided to extend this over to the Xbox 360 and have opened up beta signups for the new Dawnguard expansion for 3...

Based on my hands-on time with the Kinect functionality last week, I'd have to say, "yes." Don't take my word for it, though! Max sat down with Bethesda's Pete Hines last week to talk about how exactly the idea came to fruition, what exclusive commands you'll be able to use, and why you'll want to make sure you own a Kinect before your next visit to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
