The week's most watched gaming videos from around the world show us a Kinect game that's super-easy to beat, tutorials for StarCraft II and Defense of the Ancients, and a surreal horse racing site from Japan.
YouTube's number one gaming video is Kinect GEL Ride, in which uploader Geltonz finishes third on Kinect Joy Ride without moving a muscle. That said, the Xbox 360's Kinect sensor itself isn't doing badly at all - 2.5 million bought in the 25 days since its release.
The French-based Dailymotion has a clear and concise introduction to StarCraft II as its most watched gaming video. Further down, mobile hit Angry Birds is subject to mock UN Peace Talks.
In China, a tutorial for the free browser game Defense of the Ancients is in first, followed by a spoof World of Warcraft spell-spamming technique and a Panda-centric advert for Magic World Online 2.
Japan's Nicovideo is all about the horse racing game Japan World Cup 2. Place fictional bets on tap-dancing horses, shetland ponies, pantomime costumes, and elephants in disguise. The website is www.jra-jwc.jp, for those that want to see and play it for themselves.
