I was surprised they didn't hate it. If some of the games worked a bit better they could be pretty cool. It would be nice if  a better developer took a shot at this.

I love how they both switched places after the first game and never realized it, making the game even less responsive than it already was.

Then you shouldn't see the Kinect marathon in early November, if you haven't already? I find all the motion control games that shows Ryan, or whom is playing, on the screen enjoyable. "
I watched a good deal of em, because i'm still curious what the games are like.  it's the moments where the avatars start freaking out or the menu screens just refuse to be navigated that have me groaning, or when the staff starts getting frustrated because their football toss doesn't register

Microsoft needs to force a standard UI and make the Kinect ID and Gamertag the same thing. Xbox: Ryan are you playing as... Ryan? And why do the worse Kinect games need everyone to stick in frame regardless of if its their turn?

These "blind" menus seem like a bad idea.  Kinect looks to be just janky enough that most games would probably benefit from always having a cursor on menus.  Otherwise you're doing what Ryan did, trying to pinpoint the location of the "OK" button with no feedback with regards to how close he is to getting it.

I'm starting to think that they calibrated the GBTNT account for Jeff and they still haven't for other people, that's why it freaks out every once in a while

I think you'll find who ever edited the video just flipped the green screen recording. kinect is like looking in a mirror. so when it says use your right arm to select, your actually selecting the item on the Left of the screen. If they didnt flip the feed, then it would show the guys around the wrong way when playing split screen.

This game looked at least playable compared to the trash that was Deca Sports: Freedom. Still wouldn't purchase though.

Yeah, I was super confused when I saw Ryan's tattoo on his other arm.

I thought the same thing...I'm thinking either Persona 3 or Tales of Symphonia, but I can't seem to place it... 
 
I hope this is a phase with Kinect, and that the actual games will come out eventually. It really is solid piece of tech, its just being misused at the moment.

This will probably be full price in the UK, all the other Kinect games that I have seen have been £40.

It seems to me that they kept standing out of the "good" zone when playing (as in most of their Kinect-QLs), you can clearly see this during the menuscreen when their dots in the upper-left corner are indicating that they're red, IE not standing correctly. Could explain why some of the games handled so poorly.
 
Nontheless, god damnit those are some boring games.

Good job with mirroring the player footage, makes it a lot better to keep track of things.
