Of the MS Rare games I've played Viva Pinata, and Perfect Dark: Zero (duh), Killer Instinct (more on that in a moment), Nuts & Bolts, and season two of Kinect Sports.

This is going to sound weird, but I have the same issue with Killer Instict that I have with Resistance. Everytime I got done playing Resistance I walked away thinking "Well, that was certainly a  first person shooter". Killer Instict in certainly a fighting game...but that's really it. It's just missing something, it's not as tight or as out right fun as a game like MKX but it's also not as hard edged or challenging as a game like Street Fighter or Guilty Gear. The combo and special system is pretty neat, but the actual fighting itself is only meh and the roster is sub-par.

Ok cool. I've heard one of their better games was Kameo. I'll play it when I get the collection. I didn't like Viva Pinata although, admittedly, I didn't give it a fair shake. Kinect Sports were good showcase games. I liked them.

Killer Instinct is one of my favorite games. I feel the roster is very good and diverse. It's just getting back in the swing of things after being dormant. SF MK and such have consistently been around for decades. It's very good and obviously I don't agree with some of what you said about it.

If Rare was so great wouldn't Nintendo have kept them? Why were they even for sale? 

Yeah, I never got to play Kameo. I thought Viva Pinata was good, it was pretty much just a more whimsical Sims game.

Obviously my opinion of KI is just that, my opinion. I just couldn't get into it.

I don't really know why Nintendo sold Rare, I believe MS paid them something like $375 million dollars for them though, and much of the old talent from Rare had started to leave by that point I think.
