Mall of America has a big ass setup for this where you can try it out with all the games... tried it with the fam, it's cool for what it is but I prefer PS move where I can sit my ass on my bed and play without having to jump around & shit...
plus the games for kinect so far are garbage, at least the ones they had at MOA.. the kids liked the river rafting shit but I could see them getting real bored with it after a couple days... then we played the basic bare bones bowling... nuthin special. Dance game was goofy as fuck, definitely not somethin I'd play unless I was high outta my mind & just clownin.
PS Move for the win.

I am a 360 die hard, but I will not go to bat for such a silly product until there are real games for it.
i'm not a child and i have no kids, so make something for me that includes nudity and a sword or spear of some kind that I may impale nefarious criminals with and I'll buy your stupid mocap shit.

I feel you, man. I didn't see it from that angle being a good drinking or party play kind of thing.
Anthony and I usually end up rocking the Wii when we hang out, so it makes sense.
Anyway
I might have spoke too soon.

Rumor: Gears of War Coming to Kinect
Is Epic Games helping Microsoft turn hardcore gamers on to Kinect?

Though Kinect has been a big success for Microsoft since debuting on November 4, many hardcore gamers have turned up their noses to the innovative camera controller because they think it's just an enabler for minigame collections, casual fare, and rhythm stuff. If you go by the launch library, well, they have a point. But a reliable source tells IGN that's all about to change.
According to our tip, Microsoft is using the Spike TV Video Games Awards (VGAs) to introduce some big action games, including new titles for the Kinect. The headliner is Gears of War for Kinect, coming straight from Epic Games. Now, we cannot clarify whether or not this is an all-new Gears of War for Kinect or if it's an existing Gears of War game, retro-fitted for the camera controller. But it definitely clicks with recent rumblings that Microsoft wants to get in front of the conventional wisdom that the Kinect is only a toy for casual gamers and family.
We reached out to Microsoft for comment. Microsoft returned our request for additional clarification with the traditional "we can't comment on rumor or speculation." IGN has also put in a request for comment from Epic Games, but has not heard back yet. If Epic Games has a statement on this story, we will certainly pass it along.
But what do you think? Would you welcome a Gears of War for the Kinect? And if you have plans to resist the Kinect, does the promise of Gears for the camera controller at all change your mind?
