Rocket Jump: Todd’s back from the Daddy Daughter Dance! This week the whole crew sits down and ponders why Star Wars Kinect sucks so much, why Suda51 wants you to throw your shoulder out, and whether Kickstarter has already jumped the shark. Then a discussion about Lone Survivor leads to an intense debate about the survival horror genre…and pornography.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "A few days ago, Microsoft announced that they were officially discontinuing their Kinect motion-sensing accessory. What was once considered a chief-rival to Nintendo’s Wii revolution and an integral part of the Xbox One’s launch has come to an end, and we here at Link-Cable… couldn’t be happier. The Kinect, while sporting impressive technology never managed to live up to its full potential and most of the games released for the device either had shoe-horned in support or barely functioned as intentioned, in part because of the device’s very specific ideal conditions. So as the Kinect sails off into sunset, we’ve decided to remember the worst of times and look back at the Top 10 Worst Kinect games."
Kinect, for me, is easily worth owning for two things: Dance Central for me acting like an idiot and having fun, and Kinect Party for my kids when they want to have easy-access stupid fun at like a kid's party. Those were the only games I have enjoyed on it, and they couldn't be done any other way (well, I guess that KP is EyeToy-level work). But my hope is that when motion control falls away, we'll get a proper DDR again.
Yet for 150 quid it is and was most certainly not worth owning for solely those 2 games, that you have to pay money for also.
Now far be it from me to tell you what is worth it or not worth it to you. But if that is what is worth it to you, I don't want to know what ISN'T worth it lol.
It was worth it to buy one used for half price and get one of those two games for free. ;)
Star wars wouldnt be so bad if it didnt have.... the dancing. Ughhh that dancing.
They should do a list of 10 best kinect games as well. I'm sure fruit ninja and gun stringer would be on there. Those are actually fun to play.

GameRanx:
10 awesome and obscure horror games you probably haven't heard of. What offbeat horror games do you love? Let us know in the comments!
You never heard of it?
Obscure is awesome, it has the style of gameplay of Resident Evil.
If you are a fan of the old school Resident Evil then you should play both Obscure 1 and Obscure 2.
They are so cliched as they get but so cool too lol.
No xD
I'm saying that obscure is an obscure game lol
I played Obscure 1 and 2 and I loved them.
Eternal Darkness is pretty popular. A better entry would've been Clock Tower.
I have Haunting Ground on the PS2 and Siren Blood Curse on the PS3. Both of those games are pretty good.
DeSpiria for the Dreamcast it's a strange horror RPG evolving around a special agent sent to discover an underground cult. It's set in a dystopian future after World War III which leads to some serious creepy atmosphere. The character designs are questionable but it flourishes in monster design and disturbing music (which would have been so much better in full-length but tracks are limited to 20 second loops.) I await the day I am fluent in my Japanese studies so I can play this game in it's entirety.

Haunting Ground, Galerians and Rule of Rose deserves mentions as well. I would go on about these three but I doubt you guys want to read a novel....
