From Software have been keeping busy. In addition to the recently-released Dark Souls and upcoming Armored Core V, they’re also developing Steel Battalion Heavy Armor for the Xbox 360.

How do you use Kinect? You can use it to communicate and interact with your crew, give them high-fives, aim your turret-mounted machine gun, pull levers and so on. I can’t imagine From Software passed up the chance to have players lobbing grenades with Kinect in that last scene either.
