Meant to be getting it off the mrs for xmas, and really excited to get it, just not sure how good it is.

It's brill.

is it better than playstation move?

 

[jaygrim]

Which games have you tried?

Only Kinect adventures and Joy ride both work really well, I thought joy ride was gonna be pretty shit and didn't see how it would work but it really does. I can't get my head round it being old.

is it better than playstation move?

At the moment I'd yes yes it's a really clever piece of kit, not even had chance to play it today I've been really busy. I'll have to get my fix after work.

What's the footy game for Kinect? Looks quite fun.

 

[jaygrim]

It's on one of the sports ones I'll probably get most of the others this weekend on my other 360

Kinect sports is so funny it's brill.

why is it funny?

 

[Tim7]

Jay, get the fighting game, looks quite good.

I'd check reviews before buying Fighters Uncaged if I were you

 

[Placebo]

It got horrendous reviews, it's apparently extremely shite as a game and extremely poorly implementing the Kinect technology: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-04-fighters-uncaged-review

 

[BobbyBox]

It's crying out for a good fighting game. Could be brill.

I really want to try out kinect.

Think it's more Harrison than Haye though.

Think it's more Harrison than Haye though.

LOL sums it up perfectly

 

[jaygrim]

Yeah I heard it's really shit. I got a couple of fitness game's now, the Ubisoft one is good. Also got Dance central and Kinect sports.

EA Sport's fitness one seems really good, includes a heart monitor, which is good for fat old people like me

 

[jaygrim]

I need a TV mount but ain't paying £30 for one.

 

[Tim7]

Jay on Dance Central?

 

[Placebo]

I need a TV mount but ain't paying £30 for one.

Surely it's possible to knock something up using spare parts?

 

[jaygrim]

Jay on Dance Central?

I'm a great dancer.

Surely it's possible to knock something up using spare parts?

Yeah I'm working on it.

 

[Tim7]

Do you mean a TV mount for the actual kinect unit? Some setups I've seen just have it sat on the TV stand in front of the TV?

 

[jaygrim]

Yeah you can buy a stand that puts it on top of the TV but it's £30. I think it works best in that position too?

 

[Tim7]

Ohh ok. Not surprising that they've conveniently already got a proper stand out for it there then eh .

 

[Tim7]

Have you got Dance Central, Jay?

 

[Tim7]

UFC Trainer is an upcoming fighting and fitness video game created by THQ that is set to be released on January 1, 2011. The game is a sequel to the UFC Undisputed series but will differ from it in its playability in that it will require the Kinect accessory for the Xbox 360 version and the Playstation Move for the Playstation 3 version. There will also be a Wii version that won't require any accessories to play.

THQ's executive Vice President Danny Bilson stated that it will be "the coolest fighting thing in the world"

Oooh that sounds pretty cool! Think I'll definitely be getting Kinect for Xmas/Birthday .

 

[jaygrim]

Have you got Dance Central, Jay?

Yes I have.

 

[Tim7]

Any good?

 

[jaygrim]

It looked good not really my thing and I've not played it yet. Sure I'll be awesome if I do.

 

[Coopz]

Is there any sites that review just the Kinect games?
