My wife is awesome. You need to think before talking smack about a man's wife. Where I come from those are fighting words.

As long as your wife lets you.

I think the limitations set by the control input along with the current dev understanding of the "casual market" has a lot to do with what was made.

Can't really do shooters without some drastic changes to how it works, etc

:O

I only see about 5 or so games that i am interested in.

Kinect is trying too hard, 

Oh your gif is awesome. I want that game on kinetc. that's how you use it in core games. Imagine being able to taunt your oponnent on the way down to ringside then when the game starts pick up the controller and play

Edit: it's actually calvinandhobbs gif that was awesome. Bloody 3.0

I would say that there is an angle going unappreciated in this discussion. There are two types of kinect games. The first type are the games built entirely around kinect. Which Microsoft was interested in promoting heavily. These games are all about moving your body or saying key commands. The second type of game will use kinect as a control enhancement. Where the controller is still the primary interface, but kinect will lessen the load, or add other functionality. 

Say for example kinect might be used in a first person shooter to replace the second analog stick which usually functions as a camera control. Instead the option will exist for kinect to track your head movement to move the viewing field for you. Perhaps simple quick hand signs may allow you to change your equiped weapons or to use stat altering items. For example in a game like say Oblivion you might have a couple dozen hand signs or voice commands for different spells. Allowing you to bypass pull up pause menus.

Honestly I don't think the skeletal tracking will ever replace the fidelity of a hand held controller for core gamers, but the functions can be used modestly to greatly enhance core or hardcore games. These games shown are just the games that are being totally built around kinects. The games that will use the device for add on functionality will probably make up the bulk, and frankly those are the ones that will really excite most gamers here. Expect well over thirty games to use this peripheral  before the end of the year, and expect it to be a near fifty/fifty split between full use, and partial use.

No it isn't overboard this is just what the casual gamers will be interested in thats all. They as a group aren't very original in what they want. Look at the Wii, and what games sell well on that console.

How would you play that?

I want a New Super Banjo Box too, but not for Kinect...

I think that line-up is good, but there are lots of genres that just can't be played on Kinect.

lol thtat was my sig, not a post haha!

I removed it.

I was beginning to think I imagined it.
