fruit ninja? fruit ninja....Geesh, no wonder people think motion controller are shit. Can't we do better than fruit ninja?

We did better than Fruit Ninja!  Gunstringer is awesome.  I played the demo on Friday night.  On Saturday morning, I was in the store buying the game.  That almost never happens!!

Oh, and Fruit Ninja is a ton of fun, too.   Just to be clear, you get a free copy of Fruit Ninja with Gunstringer (gave my code to my friend).  You don't get a free copy of Gunstringer with Fruit Ninja!

I mean I'm not saying they're not fun, but come on. A copy of a iphone game. I'm no 360 fan but I am willing to admit, Kinect looked awesome. So many awesome and mind blowing games can be used with no control. The ultimate fighting game, Real hack n Slash, the list goes on. Instead we get a fruit slicing game. And people are content with this! Kinect won't go anywhere if we don't demand real goddamn games.  

Gunstringer is not impressive. It looks like you can play on Move or the Wii for that matter. It's suppose to be body integration but all you do is use you arms, while you could just play the game with the Move controller and navigation which would probably make it even easier. SO while it's fun, I can't say for certain, It looks like a Move game to be honest. One thing I'm not sure about is the entire game on rail? or just some parts?

It's just an arcade game. Not suppose to be anything impressive just fun and simple, which it is.

I don't understand why you bring up the Move or Wiimote. Just because a game would maybe be better on another system doesn't mean it should. For example just because a game like say, Killzone would sell better on the 360 doesn't mean they should release it on the 360. The Gunstinger is impressive and fun game. Do you know who Twisted Pixal are? If you do you would know all their games are quality and extemely fun. There is a reason MS bought them.  

I don't understand why your complaining about two games you haven't played and probably will never play.  

I just said I wasn't aguing whether it was fun or not. You're right, I probably wont play neither, I'm just pointing out that it could work just as well with Move or Wii. It looks fun, but it isn't impressive, that's what both Kinect and Move need. Notice how the biggest selling titles for both are the ones that come bundled with them, by millions of copies. You see, I represent a small part of the market that Microsoft wants: The competition's fan. I love the Playstation brand, I enjoy/like the Nintendo brand but I'm not fond of the Xbox brand. Kinetic was a way to bring in a whole new crowd of people by innovating the motion control zone, but the games that have come out, appart from Dance Central 1 and 2, are not impressive at all. Nor do they make wanna buy a 360. Kinetic has so much potential and what I am arguing is that it's been wasted on these sub-par games. They make a nice addition to it's library but still very very lack luster

Even though I consider myself a PS3 fanboy, It's not out of the realm of possibility that in the future I will buy a 360. I don't like most of the franchises on 360, but kinetic opened up a whole set of new franchises possible, yet they keep coming out with these arcade, on rail, party games that will never be an incentive to buy the Kinect for the competitior's fanbase. For the record, I love motion control. I owned the eyetoy during the last gen, I came very close to buying a Wii (and I mean money in hand and holding a Wii in my hands buy) and I recently got Move (which also isn't doing a pretty bad job at this) I know the main market for Kinetic is casual and families but still. And yes I have herdf twisted pixel. They had a lot of PSN games for a while, still I never got around to try them out.

Basically, Kinetic has tons of pontential but microsoft doesn't even know what to do with it. The gunstringer looks like a cool and we can all hope it sells, but my main beef is with Fruit Ninja.
