Kinectimals Build a Bear: Xbox 360

Every parent of young kids knows it's next to impossible to get through the mall without first stopping at Build-a-Bear. So what's better than putting your own bear into a video game, and being able to play with it? You choose from one of four bears, personalize it with clothing and accessories and then scan it with the Kinect sensor. It will appear as a playable character on Bear Island. You can go off on adventures with it, explore caves and waterfalls, play games back and forth, or just use your hand to pet your bear friend. The animals respond to voice commands like "jump," "roll over" and "play dead."
