Xbox 360 Kinect
Kinect is one of the fastest-selling pieces of consumer electronics ever! The controller-less system lets players use their bodies to interact with games, and now that Kinect has a year under its belt, some unique and innovative titles have hit the scene.
The good: Controller-free motion gaming; full-body motion sensor; solid game library at launch; voice control; games will have you very active; almost impossible to fool.
The bad: Timing-based learning curve; menu and video navigation is occasionally wonky and gets old fast; requires a lot of room to play; majority of games require standing; hard-core gamers may not feel satisfied; requires separate power supply when used with older Xbox 360 consoles.
The bottom line: With its impressive body tracking and unique, controller-free experience, Kinect is great for casual gaming parties and workouts--assuming you have enough room to play it.
