	this is probably the coolest thing i've seen available for kinect so far. anything with Real Space is awesome in my book, I'm looking forward to August 6th when the REAL Curiosity actually arrives to the Red Planet we know as Mars.

	@6 yes I meant playfit, but some douche gave me a thumbs down because my predictive text added an 'e' at the end. I swear some people have no lives what-so-ever

	Doesn't look like it worked with Playfit, also this was an easy completion game, only took me 30 minutes or so once I figured out the controls.

	Unlike other fun labs games, this game has relatively hard achievements.

	Great use of the Kinect. More science type games like this. Very cool way to get a youngster interested in actual science happening. Love this.

	@13 You can delete games with zero gamerscore from your achievement list. Hit the xbox guide button, pan left and view your achievements.. press x to delete games with zero gamerscore.
