No there are more out there it sold pretty decent for a 3rd party Kinect game. I replayed it many times trying to get all the Tarot cards and Detective Tapes.

Actually, more like this kind of rhetoric – when people like it they get teased/taunted/made fun of for liking something. Kinect is pretty good, super innovative and fun. It just doesn't have a 'cool' factor - cause you have to express energy to move, and might 'gasp' actually break a sweat. Plenty of people like it, but many choose to ‘stay in the closet’ about it. No one should be ashamed of gaming, no one. Is there something specific you think it didn't deliver on (other than the light saber battles? I'll give you that.)

I don't have one and my brother with a 360 is pretty against it, especially when games like Steel Batallion turned out the way they did. It's those kind of games that keeps kinect's rep down. I think what you might be trying to tackle in this thread might not really be about kinect at all, but motion games/dance/workout/etc. So if it is a contribution let me add I hate dance games (right now my sig shows a Everybody Dance trophy, I was trying it out with my wife and unlocked while playing the demo tracks). Most of the time motion controlls in games are extremely inconvienant or poorly implemented. Sports Champions is pretty good and I generally like action/sports/exercise gaming. The Wii Fit is the best thing about that console in my opinion, the idea of having a yoga trainer, workout device that tracks stats and monitors progress is great. It's like having the best weight scale in the world that encourages you to workout or at least improve your balance.
In general I just haven't seen anything on the kinect that looks interesting, but I don't own one or a 360 to really make the jump into kinect titles.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

I really like my Wii Fit too, but since I got Kinect, haven't really used it. It just can't keep up with what Kinect can do.
Would be really curious of what you thought of Nike Trainer or Biggest Loser Kinect (It has some Yoga and DLC for Polities.) I personally think it most cases it works much better than Wii Fit. Especially for something like Yoga where a coach is really helpful.

But what does it actually pick up on the camera? Is it accurate to adjust your form? How do you correct yourself?

Child of Eden
Gunslinger
Wreckateer
Mars Rover Landing
I'm really looking forward to Crimson Dragon. It should play like Child of Eden so it should use Kinect flawlessly. I'm a big Panzer Dragoon fan and Crimson Dragon is a spiritual successor to Sega's forgotten classic. I still wish it was a retail release and that it had gamepad support. But to get to play a new "Panzer Dragoon" will be a treat even with Kinect.

It does a pretty good job. I would say better than Wii Sports Active. You can see your siliute, and it will change colour and tell you where you need to improve. Here is a review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwARjr-ErDw
Kinect Sports and Adventures when playing with kids is just hilarious, sure kinect isn't for us the Hardciore but does it really hurt to play kids-games once in a while? Sometimes I get so tired at all the shooter games and I just boot up Adventures/Sports or Rayman it kind of brings my mood up.
Btw Kinect Party is also hilarious with kids.
Dance Central 1 and 2
The Gunslinger
Fruit Ninja Kinect
I spend a little time with Your Shape Fitness but it's never reached the level of fun the other games I listed have. I need to get back into Child of Eden, too.
These are the kinect games I own:
Kinect Sports 1
Dance Central
Rise of Nightmares
Kinect Party(free)
Wreckateer(free)
Haunt(free)
Still wanna play Gunstringer and Fruit Ninja. Looking forward to Crimson Dragon, when ever that releases.
