No, it isn’t UNO as previously thought. It’s an Xbox Live Arcade title we haven’t heard too much of. Totemball. Totemball? Wtf? Well, Gamasutra explains the situation. It’s pretty much you flapping your arms in the air trying to get your totem pole to the end of the level. If you plan to purchase the Vision Camera, play this game while you’re alone. Very, very alone.

TotemBall is controlled almost entirely through gestures; that is, the game tracks a player’s arm movements to control a rickety, wheeled totem pole tower around each level, collecting items and trying to reach the exit within a time limit. Gesture-based gameplay is not foreign to Freeverse, who previously developed ToySight for the Macintosh, compatible with Apple’s iSight camera.

The title shows that Microsoft is willing to compete with the gesture-based gameplay control concepts also utilized by Sony’s EyeToy for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3. Though no further gestural-controlled game concepts using the Xbox Live Vision camera have yet been officially announced, more gestural games are in early development, according to Stone.

Gamasutra also said that Gamestop has the Vision Camera listed as $39.99. Although this price isn’t officially confirmed, it seems like the perfect price to me. It doesn’t seem too cheap to be a plastic piece of shit, and at the same time it doesn’t seem too expensive. After all, it’s basically a webcam.

Expect the Vision Camera in September.
