Sounds like a bad investment.

OP should totally get Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster... I hear that's now the Kinect's biggest killer app next to Dance Central. Plus it's made by Tim Schaffer and Double Fine, so how can you go wrong with that?

I am not  5 :L


Hey, don't knock it 'til you've tried it! It's pretty fun. Ditto Kinectimals.


Eugh really? Those are at the bottom of my wish list atm, along with the "dancing with mel b" and Joy Ride.

Depends if you have an inner kid. I find Kinectimals absolutely adorable and fun.

I sort of do, but not that far lol, I'll give it a try with the demo's which I think are on the XBL, maybe they'll turn my opinion around, but those just don't seem the kind of games I'd usually enjoy!

Also how are the fitness games on this? Other than kinect sports.

I got Your Shape, too.  It kicks ass if you do it the way it's supposed to be done.  There's a few free downloadable routines, too.  Just don't lie about your age, your weight, or your activity level.  I tried to lie the first time I got tried it and the routine they set  up had me sore for a couple of days!  It also works best if you wear tight fitting clothes.  Don't know why that is.  If I'm wearing loose clothes, it says I'm doing an exercise wrong and it won't give me credit for it.  I just work out in my underwear, now.

It's the only one I've tried but I say it's worth the 30 bucks I paid for it.

I really want an Xbox 360, but all the deals I've seen comes included with Kinect at a higher price than without it. Of course it would be more expensive because you're getting more. But it is the fact of the matter that I want a good deal on a 4GB Xbox 360 WITHOUT Kinect.


are you in the US?  amazon has $50 card with the $200 xbox and then there is this http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/consoles/xbox-250gb-console-holiday-bundle/98010

OT:

I agree that leedmees is a good one.

Kinect is definitely a different level of fun compared to a controller based games. I would recommend Kinect sports 1( wait for 2 to be cheaper), Dance Central 2, personally I really enjoyed Rise of Nightmares more so than Child of Eden, but both are good games, and I hear good things about Your Shape Fitness evolved, plus the new one came out today.

Gunstringer and Fruit ninja are great, so far tried out DC2 demo and enjoyed it too, although the cheesy lines are pretty annoying "Who's hosting the after party? Cos I am there" I was like BAAAH.

Still to try out Leedmees and some other demos I got.
