How can you possibly apply something with no controller to most full games? Most full games require the player character to move freely in a 3D world. The Kinect simply can't do this without being incredibly stupid.

This is the only game I've seen that might convince me to buy a Kinect.

I think what he's saying is that it's a little disappointing to be over a year after the Kinect's release, and people are still tripping over themselves to pat Kinect games on the head and doing the video game equivalent of calling mentally challenged kids "hard working with a lot of heart." At some point even damning with faint praise really just has to stop.

I've never bought a Double Fine game (although several have looked appealing) but I can safely say that there is a lot of neat and fun Kinect applications in here that I never thought of before. I probably won't buy it, but if this quicklook featured just the crew, or another developer, then I would still find it interesting. I'm not trying to speak for everybody or anything, though.

I see a lot of people saying this, but I feel like not everyone is really going to, it's just the "wow" factor.

With that said, I'm buying a Kinect, honest to bob, I can't believe I'm actually going to. It's not just for this game, but man this studio is on fucking fire, I could see myself having a ton of fun and most of the games are cheap as hell. I'm moving and my new place has a huge living room, the time is right!

That copying activity there at the start is pretty dope. What a weird thing this "game" is, something only the crazy folks at Double Fine could come up with.

No Tim. Welcome to the motherfucking XBox. It's at times a far larger hassle to deal with than a PC.

People hating on this 'activity collection,' either don't have friends or kids. As someone with both it definitely seems compelling and worth 10 bucks. On that note i'd have to buy a fucking kinect so....

This looks really cool. I'm glad they are trying to make the Kinect more of a toy rather than a game; as much as I like my Kinect it doesn't really do "games" (minus maybe dancing games) that great. This looks like tons of fun.

I don't have any kids, but I have plenty of nieces and nephews in close proximity who love Fruit Ninja Kinect. This looks like their freaking dream come true.

One of the best quicklooks available and for the most part it is because of the game being amazing.
