Anyone else's Kinect just gathering dust?
I got my Kinect on launch day and initially enjoyed playing a bit of Kinect Adventures but its appeal is quite limited and I haven't really played on it that much in the past few weeks.
I've had a look for other games that might be of interest but nothing really shouts out at being great.
Kinect Sports looking quite good but I already have Wii Sports on the Wii so don't really know whether its just going to be something very similar (plus, I must admit I'd rather play something like tennis with an actual controller than an imaginary one).
Does anyone use the Kinect (or voice recognition) to control the dashboard? I know a friend that uses it all the time as he thinks its easier than a controller, but I must admit, I find controlling the dashboard hard work with the Kinect and just grab the controller whenever I power up the 360. The voice recognition is good but quite limited.
Can anyone recommend any decent games? Either out now or in the near future.

You jumping on the 360 bandwagon aswell?
I've made my choices for this gen and am sticking with what I have.
It is a shame as I think that Kinect has a lot of potential, but being told that the simply solution is moving all your furniture around, is a little annoying.
Will the severe lack of announced games for next year though it is bound to end up having a dust collecting few months.
Just like buying a PS3 in the first 6 months of its release, or buying HD-DVD addon for an Xbox360 in the first 6 months, or even buying and playing COD games from day one when its hugely buggy and lagging........ its always best to look at how its going to be a few months down the line rather than just released.
Just as PS3 has steadily become a great gaming console,
Just as COD has been patched up and is playing better,
Kinect will over the next few months start to get a bigger library of games and some fun and exciting innovations that will really add to the gaming your playing, even if its just the Modern Warfare 3 including Kinect support so that as you play with your controller, you can lean around corners by literally tilting your head to the side
My household really like it, and the only real reasons it's not been used is mainly due to being too busy or tired, Coronation bloody Street and flipping X-Factor!
Bought the sports 2 weeks ago and just not had time to go on it.
I tell you one cool thing... Set the Xbox to download a demo the other day, then went out into the garden to do some stuff. When I came back in the TV was half faded (like it does if there is no action for a while) and the download progress bar was hidden. As I came in I thought 'must just woggle the controller to get the progress bar back' but before I could do anything, Kinect detected me and brought the screen back to full life.
Very very cool
I've still not found the courage to go on your shape just yet, but the wife has tried it and it looks pretty decent.
Kinectimals has been bought for christmas so I can see my 3 year old and even my 13 year old loving that.
I want to get one how much are they in the shops? Ebay prices look about £80. I have the new Xbox Slim so think it would be a good gadget to go with it.
Is there any bowling games due for it like the Wii?
Not bad then.
Do they plan to get all the Wii titles too like Millionaire, Deal or No Deal, Brunswick Bowling and so on? I'd quite like that option even though I prefer a bit of Fifa.
