here is a summary from the guy the sixthaxis has sent to the Gamescom:
Kinect
Tricky subject this. It didn’t seem to go down well at all from my perspective. Those watching people playing all seemed to have the same look on their face – complete indifference. Some of the games I observed worked fine, whilst others struggled a bit when using the swipe motion to flick through menus. I got really annoyed when a couple of people started a game of Dance Central – and they were obviously professional dancers with a choreographed routine as they weren’t even looking at the screen. That’s not convincing me that Kinect works guys.
My own hands on with Kinect wasn’t pleasant. It was a party game compilation and I played two of its games – bowling and some kind of monster squashing game. The bowling was ok, with Kinect registering what I was doing absolutely fine. The monster squashing game was an embarrassment as you were forced to jiggle about waving your hands whilst stamping your legs. I walked away with but a shred of pride remaining.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
