While the subject matter of the titles Virtual Air Guitar Company develops varies, they all utilize motion controls in unique ways. We recently got a chance to ask Aki Kanerva, the Lead Designer and Founder of the studio, about their experience in making motion controlled games. His response reveals interesting details about the industry and the struggles developers in this space face.

Eurogamer: "Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."

John from We Got This Covered wrote: While Microsoft has greatly reduced their emphasis on the Kinect over the past year, there are still developers out there who are coming up with new games that make use of the motion-sensing peripheral. Indie studio Virtual Air Guitar have come up with the latest example in the form of Squid Hero for Kinect, and while its probably not going to win any awards or revolutionize motion control gaming, it still provides a decent and mostly accessible experience for Kinect owners.
