For 2 player stuff some people might struggle but single player I'm sure you'll be fine

We've managed it in ours even if we have to put the kinect on the corner of the tv cabinet and angle it into the room

You know there is more than one game though, right? You mean just one game you'd be interested in?

I still say Wii for your purposes.

Yeah I know there's more. Not getting great reviews though.

I'm thinking Wii too. Kinect is brilliant but until there's a game I want to rush out and play on I can't see me buying it. Whereas the Wii has some games I'd like to play and will be connected to a SDTV with space to play it.

Just don't let me near a Kinect

out of the 3 I'd have to say Kinect simply because of the potential I've seen with all the hacks.

Its just a shame about all the space you need for it.

I can't really use any of them though - my TV & consoles are right at the end of my bed so can't really jump around on the bed playing any of these things!!

Don't get me wrong, in a year or two, Kinect will wipe the floor with the competition. But for right now, it's not there yet & it'll take a while before it gets there.

What are these hacks you speak of Mark?

Aboobie · 15-12-2010, 21:13

Kinect is brilliant and I've previously had a Wii.

Kinect Adventures that comes with it, Kinect Sports (bowling, table tennis, football, track & field and beach volleyball), Dance Central, Yourshape Fitness and Kinectimals are the cream of the crop.

My wife my 2 daughters and I can't speak highly enough about it. For casual family games it's the bees knees.

Now the Wii has some great games, really great games like Super Mario Galaxy but Kinect is the new casual master, imo.

There have been loads, they usually come up in the tech section of my Google Reader, engadget I rekon. Just do a Google/YouTube search on it, basically it's people hook up kinect to PCs to do all sorts of cool things that show the potential of the hardware (especially when you consider these people dont have an SDK!)

Ah well. I was thinking about having a Wii, still find that funny, but I should really get through my other games. Another day maybe.

Kitten · 15-12-2010, 23:32

you can always come and play on the kinect if you want to try one out.
