THE BUZZ: EA has released a new trailer for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13 showcasing the game’s Kinect functionality.

The trailer demonstrates how you can use voice commands and movements to control the game without ever having to touch a controller.

EGM’s TAKE: This is all well and good, but imagining a gold club in your hand is a lot harder than say a bowling ball, you need some sort of feedback. The weird thing is that this trailer is solely about Kinect with no mention of the PlayStation Move at all. You would have thought that a golf game would be more suited to Sony’s more physical Move stick than the imaginary Kinect club. Although being able to control the whole game without ever having to touch a controller is good, it just seems redundant when button presses would probably be just a quick, if not quicker.

Is Kinect integration a good thing? Let us know in the comments below.
