    As the title states does anyone have any good games for the Xbox kinnect. I got one bundled in my Xbox package.

    So far I have not seen one game and thought "that looks good".

    The silence is deafening. A great piece of technological kit that has been rendered redundant by the lack of good games to support the technology.
    I would say Child of Eden though this is probably more of an experience than a game.

    Kinect Sports isn't bad. Season 2 is meant to be pretty good as well. Avoid Sonic Free Riders at all costs. Literally unplayable.

    I second Child of Eden as a great game to play. I'm curious about Disneyland Adventures, it could be a good one.

    Just picked up Kinect last week... yeah, I know I've been late to this race but I get the feeling that I may have timed the purchase of Kinect pretty well.

    I'm in the new beta dashboard preview and it works brilliantly with Kinect. Complete voice control over you dashboard is very, very funky! I really hope they bring out a HAL 9000 voice for the console, that would be beyond awesome!

    Games-wise, I picked up Child Of Eden and have to say that it's one of the most stunning games I've ever played. When I say stunning... it's a visual and auditory assault of your senses, combined with the immersion aspect of using Kinect, you really experience a totally new gaming sensation.

    To play it, I stood in front of a 42" lcd, donned my Razer Chimaera's 5.1, cranked up the volume and got completely lost in the music and visuals! Oh, I also made sure the blinds were down, as I didn't want the neighbours thinking I'd gone insane waving my hands around :D

    Gunslinger is a good game for the kinetic and it comes with Fruit Ninja as well.

    Kinect Sports is very good with a few mates around, and a bit of a laugh for pick up and play. Season 2, from what I have played of it, is good craic. Different sports and they show a little more of what has been done with the technology in the year since release (Hand Tracking for Darts, Golf, etc.).

    I still think it's an impressive Tech, that is just waiting for the killer game to come out for it. It seems to be here for the long haul and is certainly not going to slink away like the Vision Cam.

    Other than that there are a bunch of Demos for things that are out at the moment. Try them and see for yourself. Since you already got the Kinect with your console, there's nothing to lose, eh?
