Remember, according to our scoring policy a 6 is "not bad" and still above average! Motion Explosion has some problems but overall it's an enjoyable game.

And believe me, writing those little taglines is my favorite part!

Re: 750,000 Kinect Sensors Sold in Thanksgiving Week

I wonder how many of those were the ones bundled with the console? I know I was at Toys R Us on the afternoon of Black Friday and I saw several of the 4gb model with the Kinect packed in get sold, probably because they were the best deal at $100 off.

Re: Talking Point: What's Kinect Doing Right or Wrong?

I bought Kinect knowing it would be more of a supplemental device rather than something I'd dedicate a lot of time to. I've always been impressed with the technological achievement of it, even moreso once it became a fixture of my living room and I can lazily navigate my dashboard without even needing to use my controller simply by ordering my Xbox to do what I want!

Not all the games have been hits, but the good has been VERY good and there's still a ton on the horizon I'm excited about. I knew Kinect wouldn't provide "hardcore" experiences but would rather be a place for weird ideas from idealistic developers to come to life and I have absolutely not been disappointed in that regard.

Re: Kinect Voted Gadget of the Year at T3 Awards

The technology is nothing short of amazing; the experience of setting it up and navigating the menus just by moving my hand as well as being signed into Xbox Live because KINECT RECOGNIZED MY FACE is something I'll never forget. Not every game is going to be a hit, but so far the good ones have been great and I imagine they'll only get better.

In addition to what game studios are doing with it, don't forget that others are doing amazing things with it by hooking it up to a PC and tinkering with the software.
