Kinect Owners Can Download Haunt For Free

As part of the new Kinect Central dashboard update, owners of Microsoft's motion-sensing peripheral can download the haunted house simulator Haunt for free.

News of the free giveaway was announced on Major Nelson's homepage, and will be available to U.S. owners only. But you better get downloading, as the XBLA title will only be available for free until July 2. We didn't review Haunt, but the downloadable game has a solid 70 on Metacritic, which I'm guessing is pretty high for a Kinect game.

So what are you waiting for? Download it and flail away!

Free is always good, but alas it sometimes ensures what you get is not...

Hey, it's free and it apparently stars Tim Schafer, so it can't be the worst thing in existence. I'll download it as soon as I can.

I know this is off subject but I thought I should share this with everyone who enjoys good RPGs. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines lead writer and designer Brian Mitsoda Kickstarter for RPG Dead State. I believe it will be an amazing game and everyone should show their support if possible. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/70755535/dead-state-the-zombie-survival-rpg :)

Well at least it's free

Um, it still says 800 points right now. What gives?
by RezidentHazard (rides again) Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 05:13 PM

Ah crap. There we go. You have to have a Kinect hooked up to the Xbox 360 so that the Dashboard features the Kinect Central button. After my girlfriend is done downloading it on her Xbox 360, we'll move the Kinect to mine to get it.
by bestninjanacho Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 05:17 PM

I'll be getting this for the achievements and because my Kinect needs something to do.
by SALOHCIN1 Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 05:51 PM

I'll try it.
by musicalham Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 07:09 PM

Seems kind of lame but it's FREE!!!
by Altair Ibn-La'Ahad Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 07:20 PM

Free is good.
by brettph3lps Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 09:50 PM

I demand a test chamber for this game, and force Dan Ryckert to play it.
by MentalYinYang Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 10:01 PM

microsoft must think this game sucks. They only would make it free if it sucked, AND only for a limited time.
by Ghost Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 10:05 PM

Wow, cool!
by Kerry Amos Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at 11:12 PM

Nice to see Microsoft giving back. Even if it is a bad game it's still free. I plan on checking it out, I haven't played Kinect in a good while.
