Kinect Sports and Dance Central are definite highlights and Kinect Adventures is fun and surprisingly polished for a pack in title. I can personally recommend Kinectimals, especially if you have children or young people around to play and Your Shap: Fitness Evolved is fun and easy to play. Kinect Adventures comes with a few demos on the disk, and several more can be found in the Marketplace.
If you enjoy J-Pop and are pretty good at dancing, you might enjoy DanceMasters but yeah, the reviews are correct when it says how much harder it is than Dance Central. I'm an experienced dancer and so far I've only mastered 1 dance (I don't play it as often as Dance Central though).
I actually have Sonic Free Riders because I wanted something other than dancing and IGN gave it a 7.5/10 which is high for a Kinect game (seeing is how Dance Central and Kinect Sports both got 8/10). IGN seems to be one of the only gaming reviewers to rate it high and I'm happy I trusted it because I actually enjoy it considering the bad reviews it got from other sites, this one included. Still mastering it (not playing it much either, we have a space issue at my house and reorganizing the living room makes it inconvenient for anyone wanting to pass through) but it's definitely fun and does a good job of simulating a wave board racing game.
Those are the 3 games I have and right now I'm just waiting for the new games and if these two aren't for you, then I just recommend waiting also. I'm eager for Child of Eden and Dr. Kawashima's Body and Brain Exercise to come out.
My three are Adventures (which I guess everyone has), Dance Central (for my wife, I swear!) and Kinect Sports. My next game will be Your Shape and after that, I think I'll have to wait like abHS4L said. Speaking of Kinect Sports, before you play volleyball, make sure you can't jump and reach your ceiling fan.
Don't be ashamed of Dance Central. The dances on there are more masculine than feminine. Dancemasters on the other hand is pretty effeminate. Lol about the Kinect Sports.
#1 lots of fun and you feel the burn the next day #2 it has a work out mode when you click on "Perform it" (actually counts Calories, that's kinda cool)
Doug Monroe: Your Shape is not the greatest. Word of advice get the ACTIVE one, worth the money: It comes with blood pressure monitor for your wrist to help you in your work out.
Doug Monroe: Wife: I do not recommend Biggest Loser. The work outs are not the greatest for the beginner (if she's a beginner) The leg work on Biggest loser is the OPPOSITE of the trainer's movements.
Which means if they have their LEFT leg in front and they SAY use your Right leg. It means: Use your RIGHT leg, but on the screen you'll see their LEFT leg, very confusing.
Disadvantage to Biggest Loser I found: No Muscle Burn soreness the next day. Not like Dance Central. I love Dance Central. Now I want them to come out with one for Country Line Dancing, and ZUMBA. That would be a workout, then I could freaking rid the gym forever.
(Because with the Active, Dance Central you can incorporate weights in your routine)
If you feel the burn, than you are doing it right. If not, you're doing it wrong.
Well just got the Kinect special edition Star Wars Xbox and now I am needing some suggestions for Kinect games. If you can please post your recommendations here.

You NEED to get The Gunstringer! It is amazing, so responsive, and so much fun. I also highly recommend Child of Eden. Such a beautifully made, and addictive trippy little game. I'm shocked they haven't been suggested yet.
