I got to see the Bengals vs. Cowboys NFL Hall of fame game Sunday.  Even though my Bengals lost, my love for gaming won!  I had the opportunity to try out the much talked about Kinect while I was there.  After standing in line for around an hour to hour and a half I had a chance to play my choice of 2 games.  The first game I tried was Dance Central and the second was Kinect Adventures.  Both were really fun to play and the the menus to get started were fairly simple and strait forward.  

I enjoyed both games more than I thought I would but I had the most fun with Dance Central.  That game is going to be so much fun at parties.  My cousin and I both had drank a few and all our inhibitions were gone by this point.  I am certain we both looked like bafoons bet we really did get a kick out of the game.  Dance Central didn't seem like it had any lag at all, but there was a little bit for Kinect Adventures a few times.  From a few of the negative reviews I had seen lately I had my doubts, but from what I witnessed the thing simply works.  My cousin has some pictures of us getting our groove on and I will post them later if I can get him to send them to me.  No matter what people are saying about Kinect, I had fun and thats what gaming is ment to make you do.

Cheers, and I still have faith in my BENGALS!!

IMHO People wanting to buy a Kinect should wait a little before doing it. Just to see how the next games will be.

BTW : It's normal that you get no lag with Dance Central, as the characters on screen do not replicate your actions, it's you that have to replicate theirs... 

While personally I am not at all interested in Kinect,as all my personal gaming needs and my family's gaming needs are more than covered by the Wii, I think this sort of hands on illustrates that (as I thought it would) Kinect is going to be very successful, at least initially, and if no serious problems appear after the initial onslought, then in the long run as well.

The target audience doesn't really care what the reason is for there being no lag in Dance Central or some slight lag here and there as long as these things don't prevent them from having fun (and imo they are right to think this way).
