Activision making Wipeout Kinect game

Calamitously brutal television game show Wipeout is being turned into a Kinect game by Activision.

Due summer, Wipeout in the Zone recreates 30 obstacles such as those slippery red bouncy balls and that swinging, pummelling, spring-loaded wall.

Obviously you won't be smacked about like people are on telly, but apparently the Wipeout in the Zone will be a riotous laugh for all the family.

Pop over to the Wipeout telly show's website. It's wince-inducing stuff.

Top Gear's Richard Hammond presented Total Wipeout, the UK version, on BBC - season four of which has just ended.
