As someone with a fondness for Rez (not a HUGE fondness, but it was cool), and a Kinect, I rented Child of Eden. I gotta say, the lighting requirement for the Kinect kind of takes away from the experience. With a controller, it's great, because I can sit in the dark and play, which honestly for me at least, the music and atmosphere of the game are by far best enjoyed in a dark room w/ a great sound system for full immersion.
Still a worthwhile game, if only as a rental. I can't say it's worth the $50 price tag for me personally, but I can see grabbing it when it's in the $25-$30 range. I'm also curious to see how it plays on the PS3 using the Move controller later this year, since Move isn't as dependent on lighting as the Kinect is.
