I got one of these 360 camera thingies the otherday... it was a deal with my gold LIVE membership card... mine had expired so I needed a card and the camera was a few bucks more.

It is a small camera with 1.5megapixels and so the quality is nothing special.
One can play online games with it so other players can see what you look like... UNO is a card game where the camera is useful in that respect.
Also I believe one of the games allows you to take a picture of yourself and then map it onto your character in the game. So you run about on screen with your face looking back at you.... how cool is that.

Obviously on screen messaging now is so much better. i have a few mates with the camera's and having a chat now just adds so much more depth.

There is a game just for the camera called Tottum pole or somesuch thing. Basically you have to steer a turtle type thing around a green grass landscape and collect parts of a musical tottum pole. There are obstacles and water features to jump and speed past. The game play is so simple it's unreal... the fun factor comes in with the fact that you control the turtle riding a ball thingy with your hands!!!
At the side of the screen are two rods.... the camera superimposses these areas with what it is seeing... so one puts ones arms out and you can see your hands on the screen. You move both hands up and both rods move up the screen... the higher the faster they go... move them down and your ball riding turtle slows to a stop, keep moving your arms down and he then reverses. Move one up and one down and he turns.... think of it as a tank tracks sort of movement. Each arm controls one set of tracks on each side of the turtle.
It takes a little bit of time to get used to but once mastered you will then start to endure PAIN.... you know keeping your arms outstretched and waving about is painful... one of the achievments is to play the game non-stop for twenty mins... in the game you can find beds which once collected pauises the game for a few secs while you give your arms a breather.
This game comes into it's own when you have friends round and the beer is flowing.
