I recently purchased an Xbox Kinect bundle from the holiday seasons. I have the Kinect Adventures that it came with and I also purchased Dance Central 3. My sisters and I have been playing for at least 2 hours a day and have been having tons of fun. Not to mention, it provides a great work out. Anyone else have any recommendations for Kinnect games? I’d prefer ones that are family friendly and provide a great work out.

Other than Dance Central our Kinect has gathered dust much like our Wii did a couple weeks after we got it.

Other than the dance games I can’t think of any that are must haves.

Fruit Ninja is pretty sweet. I’m hanging for Tiger Woods 2013 as well.

Oh yeah. I heard that the new Tiger game is supposed to have some legitimately great use of connect. Good call.

Don’t forget Kinect [Star Wars](http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=kinect+star+wars&qpvt=kinect+star+wars&FORM=VDRE#)is coming soon.

Depends on ages. Do you have younger kids? Kinectimals, Dora dance (Carlos Santana is either prematurely rolling over in his grave or sayin’ I love royalties from O Ya Como Va), Elmo, Sesame Street.

The sport ones are kinda fun but fade after a while. Good family fun.

There’s yoga but I don’t have experience with that or any of the fitness ones.

After a year, Dance Central 2, Dora (or maybe it is nickelodean) are the two in heaviest rotation.

And my 7 year old on the autism spectrum yesterday finally “got it” and spent 45 minutes doing Dora dance. 😉
