Still no good games for the Kinect

I bought a kinect at launch, I was so hyped for it i thought it would change gaming but so far there has not been a game for it thats truely worth buying. Seems to me thats all its good for is dancing...........

TC I hope this is your first time buying a gimmick device. I did for the Wii and the Move and learned my lesson to stay clear from this piece of plastic. I have no interest in doing dancing or exercise in front of my TV.

Yep, and I'll be playing it the way it was intended to ... with a game controller that features a *gasp* "fire" button. Have fun using the flail method to aim.

Dance Central is by a good game under any definition. It may not interest you, but it's a quality product and one of the best dancing games ever made.

'good' is subjective. there are quite a few games that have gotten good reviews. However, I find that none of them interest me and I'm sure that's how you feel.
one reason why I don't buy anything expensive (also subjective) day one.

I think most of the 8 million Kinect & Move owners agree with you. Both are rubbish now and this is why I never buy anything at launch. Maybe there's something fun about groping virtual tigers and raising little gremlin monkey mutants with a squishy ice cream cone but it's not for me.

The biggest problem with Kinect is that whatever potential it has isn't as a gaming controller.dzimm

It's only been out like 5 months. Didn't cows have to wait like 2-3 years before their console was worth it?

These games were announced for 2011 and they all sound pretty cool: http://www.slashgear.com/five-xbox-360-kinect-games-announced-for-2011-16102557/

Don't buy things at launch based on "potential" ;)locopatho

This for the most part, especially a peripheral.

At least it has that excercise video Dance Central.

The ps3 launched with RFoM, which is still one of the better FPS games this gen. Games came out for the system pretty steadily.

Nothing worth your time now, nothing worth your time in years. Why? Cuz Kinect was made for casuals and i'm sure they're enjoying garbage that is released for Kinect right now.silversix_

Kinect is like Virtual Boy, only far less cool.

That pretty much covers what I was going to say (and it's the first reply of the thread!) :P

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] And sold 10 times more. So really, it's nothing like it ;)Ravensmash

Core titles for kienct are impossible unless they are watered down to on rails which I don't consider core anyways momentum_god

Yeah wtf even nintendo done that with powerpad.

yea unfortunately this is a piece of technology that will never live up to the hype.

Maybe not even for dancing. The Michael jackson game got a higher score on the PS3 :P Anyways, you were warned, this had the dust collecting label written all over it from the start.kuraimen

it scored lower on the 360 because of Dance Central...really don't you know how reviews work?

ya tell me about it i bought kenict , and move ,these 2 have not been used but once lol ,

move does have a few good games though ,kenict however i feel really really really ripped off!

And sold 10 times more. So really, it's nothing like it ;)Ravensmash

This is the problem with these add-ons, The support is always lacking.

I have Kinect and nothing of interest to play on it so i agree.djsifer01

kinects potential lies outwith gaming, and its already been shown in other area's of the computing/engineering field that its a nifty little gadget.For example its being used in an unmanned robot used in earthquake zones as it cheaper and better and more readily available than their current sensor.

Even its interfacing with the xbox itself is a lot more revolutionary and bout the first commercial system of its kind in terms of the menu's.Only problem is the games are lackluster and it doesnt help its being bottlenecked on the basis that its a 360 peripheral if MS advertised kinect as a new interface system for PC and 360 alike and haul in Win7 capability it might get a lot more people intrested and draw a lot of attention to it.

Rumor about Microsoft Game Studios Vancouver developing a Kinect shooter.

Also, I'm not saying this will be a good or bad game, just reporting the news :P.
