Review: Kinect and Launch Titles

I've Seen a lot of reviews of Kinect and it's launch titles. My favorite quote is from the Angry Joe review.
"If you like music rhythm games like Rock Band and DDR, and were willing to dish out the money for all the drums, guitars ect. Then thinking of Kinect as Dance Centrals peripheral makes it seem alot more resonable."
That being said, I wont get one because I don't want to move around while playing Vidja games. I already have a job and a 2 hour workout routine, I'm exhausted enough.

What I really want to see is the inevitable YouTube clip of someone pulling a Geddan in Dance Central.
You'd better stay clear of Kinect. And are we still on the "gay is an insult" thing? Seriously.ark123 said:

A. I'm one of the least politically correct people out there.
B. No, I still haven't pinned down what you mean by gay, because the word now has about twenty definitions.
C. It's not a ballet princess simulator, it's a hip-hop/choreographed dance sim. And if you actually think that dancing is automatically "gay" (whatever you mean), then don't attend your prom... or clubs... or weddings. And have a pleasant, blissfully ignorant life.
These reviews pretty much sum up my feelings on the Kinect so far. I'm actually impressed by the technology now that it's been released, and I do feel tempted to pick it up, but there's just no games right now that appeal to me enough to make me really want one enough to put out the cash.
For those lamenting the lack of titles overall, though, I'm not really seeing where your complaints are coming from. Compared to even most full blown console launches, Kinect does have a fair number of games available already. If you're complaining about there not being enough (any?) games actually targeted at more dedicated gamers then I see what you mean, and completely agree, but "there's not enough games!" arguments just fall flat.

If people like dancing, they'll like a dancing game. If people like singing to a song, they'll play singing games. You're not a homosexual if you enjoy said things, as such you were using gay as a derogatory term.
I'd love to get this for Kinectimals and Dance Central but the only place I have with enough room is my roof.
I second this. If it was my job to review kinect, the review would probably involve a Sledge Hammer and maybe some Napalm.Nouw said:
On the other hand seeing the regular alphas of the Escapist-nerd-pack dancing has some kind of bewildering charm to it. ^^
I can see myself and every other straight male on the planet looking gay while playing dance central. And if you're white it gets compounded because you don't have any rhythm.ark123 said:
BTW lacktheknack, while you're looking gaytarded attempting to dance, ark123 and I will be looking cool and talking to the girls you are trying to impress. While you were busting a move, a couple of guys at the party were eying you, though. Good Luck with that. Just tell them to be gentle.
PS: I would still totally play that game. Also: I kid, I kid.
Mostly interested in dance central and somehow Kinectimals (for some strange bizarre reason i seem to like the idea of it). Problem is i will be 250 euro lighter if i bought and that is something i can not spare atm. >.<
And wishing microsoft would sell kinect without a game is like asking a bear to talk like people(muppet show excluded from that remark) highly impossible

Right. Because girls just hate hanging out with guys who are self-assured enough to be willing to make fools of themselves in public, and are confident enough in their sexuality to not be concerned that having fun being silly and dancing might make them look "gay." Yeah. Girls haaaate those kind of guys.ark123 said:
Then thank you very much for the kind words.Nouw said:
