Playing with it right now. It is pretty fun. For some reason, they forgot to put Netflix support on it, though.

Discuss.

Doesn't seem that great.
I'd like to try it though.

Shameless crosspost from the Kinectimals thread:
SURE IS CASUAL ROUND HERE

Not like I'm saying that it HAS to be mature audience games or anything but why is it that motion gaming is nothing but minigames and kiddie crap? The Wii was forgiveable for it since it wasn't really powerful enough to do much else, but the 360 can. In fact, why not adapt Kinect controls to already popular games? Sure, you'd look like a douche playing MW2 with an imaginary gun aimed at your TV standing in the middle of your loungeroom, but with stuff like this on the market for it you sacrificed the last of your dignity buying the Kinect system anyway.

In fact, Microsoft, here's an entire sentence that I want you to repeat after me: "Okay Mr. Molyneux, we'd like you to recreate the original Black and White for Kinect." There. I just saved you all the mental strain of thinking up your own sentence. Now say it. I guarantee that everyone ever will always love you if you do.
My opinion of Kinect. Admittedly an uneducated one since I haven't seen it in stores yet and thus haven't tried it out or anything but still.

And where in my post did I say it wasn't fun? You shouldn't just assume someone's saying things, even if it turns out you're right.

Here, I'll say it now: I don't think Kinectimals would be fun at all. I have a real cat. Owning a Lion would be pretty damn cool, because I could make it maul those annoying children who ride their loving scooters around my apartment block yelling and screaming and when the police came to put it down it'd forget them up too. That would be fun, or at least hilarious, but I doubt that Kinectimals lets me sic my imaginary pet on children.

To summarize my opinion, minigames aren't necessarily fun. If motion gaming is meant to be fun, someone had better get their thumb out of their ass soon.

In fact, something to add to my response: Why are you implying that regular games shouldn't be fun? I thought the whole point of any game was to be fun, so why should that be specific to motion gaming?



Its having some bugs. Facial regonition and a bit of lagging to be more precise. I might get it later, but not right now. Also, you have to be 6 feet away, otherwise things will get a bit funky.

You ever wonder what the bottom of an Avatar's shoe looks like?

Looks kind of fun, want to try it out. I like how people say that it has no games even though it just got released. Also kind of funny how people are just bashing it for being bad because it's all casual and stuff. The point of Kinect is more of to show the future of gaming and living rather than to be the best way to game.

Minecraft + Kinect
HMMMMMMMMM.

According to some official line of text, Microsoft can monitor you any time they want. Scary.

It's not like they'll monitor all Kinect users 24/7. You would also have to be an Xbox Live user.
