If they do Steel Battalion right, that would be the best Kinect game. but yes, I've played kinect like 4 times and i was bored after the 2nd. but same goes with Move. and frankly same with the wii. I just hate motion control.

Yeah, I got Kinect for Xmas and have barely played it since, it just does not keep me interested, and everything coming out for it does not appeal to me in the slightest :(

Maybe it just doesnt have the games that appeals to u yet. everyone i know that has one has kids that cant get enough of it..........and the games reflect that. They are mostly casual games. Im assuming u are more of a mainstream/hardcore kind of player, so naturally it wouldnt hold our attention long. Hardcore/mature games will come.

I don't see how anyone can't be. I mean, it really hasn't had any new games since launch. But the stuff around the corner does look like it might be worth something.

the only console thriving with motion is wii ,

why because nintendo did it from the start they have games for just about any body ,

fpses -goldeneye metroid conduit redsteel cod

racing -mariokart and various third party racers , my fav of those is mini desktop racers and mariokart i like mini desktop because it is like micromachines

fighting capcom mortal kombat armagedon ssbb

rpg- pandoras tower-coming ff series tales of symphonia

platformer 2d/3d side scroller super paper mario superm ario all stars and nsmb wii dkc 4 kirby epic yarn metroid other m-shooting to

platformer 3d spyro mario galaxy 1/2 crash mind over mutant sonic colors epic mickey

on rails-house of the dead overkill re 2o f them dead space extraction

adventure zelda series among other

other games

sims 3 my sims pets dogz 2 sims 2 castaway sims 2 pets thrill ville trauma center second opioning

sports

wii sports -free of course as well as resort now

madden

wwe

so ya wii has been the only console i have motion for that pleased me , why cause like i said nintendo started withm otion they didnt make a console with standard controls then decide at the near last second to bring motion out - see 3ds being already out is a sign the 8th gen shouldnt be to far off for nintendo

Well, I'm tired of opportunistic publishers rushing out lazy "me too" games in an attempt to make a quick buck, rather than attempting to do anything interesting with the technology at all. Hopefully those games will start coming out soon. So far Kinect has been unsuccessful at convincing me to purchase it.

kinda, kinect was pretty magical at first... but the lack of games is disheartening.

I still think it has alot of potential, but im beginning to doubt if that potential will ever be reached.

I should say im still impressed by the device itself to this day, the support is the issue.

Kinect is boring as sin playing by yourself, but if you have a couple friends over it's pretty solid.

Well, M$ spent HALF A BILLION DOLLARS (Hello!) advertising Kinect for the casual/Nongamer markets, but obviously they knew some hardcores gamers would buy Kinect ($150 retail at massive profit) as well as those mass targetted with JustinBieber/Ellen/Oprah.

With that foundation built, Kinect seemingly did it's part this generation, it sold last Xmas well, it made tons of profits for Xbox Brand...and it doesn't seem to have much momentum worth noting at this point. Like I said Last Year and the Year before launch of Kinect (and Move for that matter), we'll really know all we need to know one year from launch of these products.

The key difference is that Move didn't have the marketing budget, nor did Sony put all their Exclusive Game Eggs in that gaming basket, so the PS3 isn't as reliant on the success of Move as Xbox is on Kinect.

Back on subject of Kinect in this Kinect thread, right now, Kinect seems to be going the way of the Virtual Boy gamewise, but at least Kinect has more money thrown behind it than the Virtual Boy ever did, which means it will be out as long as M$ wills it.

So, to answer your question, yes, I'm tired of Kinect, but that's only because of the crappy games released for it, as well as the lack of great quality exclusive software. So, it's not that I don't want to like it, it's that as a gamer I don't like it. My nephews and nieces only played it at Xmas, and they moved on to other games as well from Smash Bros. to Sly Cooper To New Super Mario Bros...

In the end, GREAT GAMES will win Gamers hearts, not half baked, mid-beta testing concepts. So, it's really up to these peripherals like Kinect to step their "Game up" if they want to have any impact in gaming history at all. Right now though gaming wise, Kinect is off to a poor half year + start.

You can't be tired of something that you had absolutely no interest in to begin with.

However, the Xbox fanboys must be pretty excited; they got a year full of shovelware party games instead of core exclusives. It's exactly what they wanted.

wow, you obviously haven't seen the countless Kinect mods for the PC or Mac. Even Microsoft knows they are so incredible that they are releasing an official way to plug it into a computer, which might make people like me actually buy one.

My friends were into the whole thing when it was announced/released but it was mainly because of Dance Central.:P Nowdays, mehh it still sells.:P It'll probably get a boost once another big titles out.:)
