Are there actually any good Kinect games coming out?

I picked it up today, mainly for the UFC fitness game. I got Dance Central too which is pretty fun..but again, pretty limited.

Is there actually any good GAMES coming out? Seems like a great device if you want to lose weight and work out in your room. But that's about it.

Rise of Nightmares looks like it could be fun, other than that...meh

That thing is just a gimmick, you will have it collecting dust in no time. Everyone I know who got this or Move use them as paperweights.kuraimen

gunstringer, if you like fitness, fitness evolved I and 2, Kinect Sports 1 and 2, and hybrid awesomeness is coming Steel battallion and Ryse. Its a revolutionary device, the new dahsboard update will be fully Kinect functional. The best perpherial going and the sales prove it. Congrats on your worthy purchase.

Good and Kinect,doesn't belong in same sentence.

Another thing... if fitness is your main focus,then just join a gym or something.

or get fitness evolved, awesome fitness game.

Funny you should ask!
The below are out shortly.

The Gunstringer won't be bad. But I expect it to be fleeting entertainment. While the controls actually sort of work in a way that's fun, it doesn't seem too substantial, neither in terms of mechanics or content. Fan of all the goofy stuff they're doing around the game though. So basically it's a Twisted Pixel game.

Rise of Nightmares also doesn't seem bad. Looks weird and maybe alright? Combat I reckon looks quite bad. But hey, navigation control on Kinect that works! And it has that distinct Sega feel and reminds me of a haunted house attraction. The reviews so far have been alright at least.

Well unlike Move, the Kinect is actually very helpful when doing non-gaming applications like Netflix, or the soon-to-be-released voice-based 360 browser. So while I don't play Kinect games often, I use Kinect practically every time I use the Netflix app, and I'm sure I'll be using the voice-browser.donalbane

[QUOTE="cyclops10"] Gyms are expensive round here. Why go to a place to do cardio when i can do it at home for free.cyclops10

yeah i hear you, Kinect is awesome, you will be very pleased, MS is dedicated to making it better and better. I say in a year it will recognize fingers as it can be done with a firmware upgrade. That will also open up alot of things. The new NUI that is coming out for the dashboard is also revolutionary. Its a good buy, also try the fitness evolved games, they are better than UFC, scored A here as well.

thinking one will get a workout from this toy is such a laugh.

It's not bad. I guess it depends on what you're looking for and how fit you are. If you're overweight or not fit i would suggest starting with something a bit easier going. A friend of mine is a fitness instructor and we took turns doing the harder stuff, i was barely able to finish and he found it very difficult too(keep in mind in's a non stop heavy cardio workout for an hour)There are troubles with the ''floor'' workouts, so you'll need to have your kinect in the best position possible. It's never going to count your reps spot on, but for people trying to get fit, it dosen't really matter. You'll get a good workout just trying to keep up. And for people trying to lose weight, well, getting off your ass is a great start.

I'm curious about the EA fitness game and Your Shape(i'll be picking both up) A friend of mine who is very overweight has the biggest loser game and is doing well with that. I thought only the second EA fitness game was out for the 360?

ea fitness game isnt good, but i have fitness evolved and its really fun. scored relatively well, also if you have kids, the Kinect is a goldmine.

Dance Central 2 is coming out, Just Dance 3 will be a Kinect game, a new Kinect Sports is coming, Rise of Nightmares looks like it could be good, and (fingers crossed) Steel Battalion lamprey263

Just dance and good dont mix man they just dont mix :P i can see it being a ripoff of dance central.

Dance central's good for a laugh but not much more only dev i've really seen using Kinect and using it fairly well tbh Harmonix do tend to make amazing unorthodox games.

Nope.

Lol, I dont get it either, seems like some have an agenda against the Kinect, so upset it has been a success.
