I honestly think that Kinect "hands free" should incorporate for the HARDCORE gamers in FPS games a handheld M-16 type of free flow controller.
I saw the demo of Ghost Recon where you open your hand to fire, honestly if I have to hold up my left hand to move a cursor on the screen and use my right hand to fire I would prefer to hold something weapon like in my hand. Consider maybe a (clear plastic weapon) were the Kinect can see your trigger finger or 4 fingers for a better Kinect recognition of movement.
Maybe the gun could be recognized by Kinect then it would know where your hand was positioned.
It should be a pistol shape to keep the price low as people won't want to pay out big after getting Kinect.
I would like a first person shooting game. I have read other comments about using a xbox controller in conjunction with the kinect. I would happily buy a gun for shooting games. It could be aimed by having a sensor in the front, middle and butt of the gun. Directional controls could be on the stock or barrel of the gun. The kinect part would cover ducking, throwing grenades ect. Please Microsoft, the kinect has been out long enough without offering a first person shooter. If a tester is needed, I'd be happy to help!

Please refer to comment by kccwuk for an alternative gun design.
Since Kinect was first announced, I've always thought a Professor Layton style puzzle game would work fantastically. You could manipulate the puzzles with your hands and get a real Minority Report-esque feeling.
I'm disappointed to see mainly energetic (i'm not lazy, honest!) mini-games so far. But given Kinect's superb sales I think it's only a matter of time till developers think outside the box.
What I'd like to see is something aimed towards older people. My parents are getting old and the doctors have advised them to do things like tai-chi and yoga to keep the muscles in shape. I would like to see stand alone titles for these, not combined with other workout titles. I'm sure if you start going to retirement estates and old age homes and promote these titles they'll all get a Kinect. Personally I would like some sort of karate/kung-fu training title. Give you the feeling of a dojo and train you the moves and katas.
KTB, we were deep in dev when you posted this but Twister Mania is out now and has a Hole in the Wall mode (different from the official HiW). Check it out and let us know what you think.
I really don't see the attraction in an FPS for Kinect. Blackwater tried it and was just about playable, but if I want to play an FPS, I'll pick up a controller.
Surely, Kinect is about new gaming experiences, and not just rehashes of old ones?
With that said, I'd love to see the first-person Namco soccer game Libero Grande (ARC/PS1) re-imagined for Kinect. That, and maybe a third entry in the supercool Space Channel 5 series? Now that game would be a PERFECT fit!
Kinect should make a cycling game with a small stationary type bike that sensors with the system. It is a mixture of fun and exercis in one. You can make different scenery with different difficulty level; such as streets, forest, etc. even like a bike the world type of theme. As you ride for example if u go through mud the bike sensors it and makes it harder to pedal, so as you ride the bike goes from easy to hard depending on where your riding.
I think a martial arts training game might be kind of cool. Tae Kwon Do Kinect or Karate Kinect or something like that.
I sit in a Dojon watching my kids take Tae Kwon Do lesssons 2-3 times a week. With regards to form, a lot of it just repetition. Surely, if the Kinect can monitor dance moves, it can monitor one's martial arts prowess. A bunch of minigames could be implemented that would allow the player (student) to hit targets, defend againt other opponents, etc in various historical locales. There could also be some trivia. Maybe integrate various characters or famous people (founders etc) in the game to teach the doctrine of the martial as well as learn some of the core beliefs through "living history" in which the player participates.
