Last year my hubby bought me an Xbox with Kinect. I thought I wanted to play Michael Jackson experience. Turns out that game wants you to sing and it doesn't have the workout potential I thought it would, so it, and the expensive Xbox and Kinect have been gathering dust for a year.

What games would you recommend to get a lot of use out of the Kinect? Based on my own tastes, I'd lean towards dance/martial arts type of themes, but I'm open to any that will be fun and addicting enough to prompt me to move the coffee table haha.

    Dance Central games are supposed to be good. I have the Zumba for kinect too, it's pretty fun.

    Also if you have a Gamestop near, they will buy your old games for money towards new ones. It is great.

    I had heard horror stories of gamestop not giving much $ etc. But they were AWESOME to me... They run specials where they give you 50% more for your games if you purchased more used ones with the money too. Good luck!

    Sometimes they dont give you much but I bought a game one week and the next I took it back....they acted like I never opened it and gave me all the money back on it. I think it might depend on who is working. LOL. I like it cause it is better than trying to take it to a pawn shop. They give you nothing.

    I despise gamestop. I don't like a lot of their business practices. Amazon is where I do most of my shopping for games. They also accept trade ins but I never tried it.

    Alsoz another fun kinect game... The Gunstringer. You control an undead cowboy puppet. One hand moves qs if you were holding the strings of a marionette and the other you hold like a gun, and pull your arm back to fire. It's fun.

    It comes with fruit ninja as well, which is okay.
