I don't want Doodle Jump or other cheap little rehased games. I would like too see good-quality, 800-points or so downloadable titles for the Kinect and Xbox Live.
Best example I can think of is Tumble for the PS3, which is a really good puzzle-game that's taking full advantage of the Move's particular features, and it was available from day 1 (I think) and downloadable from the PSN store, including a demo.
Haha that's awesome, not sure what Sony thinks about it ...love the "double push" also, clever way to solve how to do button-pushing on menus or in-game.
That upcoming Steel Battalion game will probably benefit from finger tracking, if (presumably) there's a lot of buttons and levers to press in your virtual mech suit thingie
I've been reading up on Mel B Fitness too, and from what I've read it's a surprisingly solid product, with some 200 different exercises.
Now, the review I found was for the PS3 and it seems the PS3 Eye and the Move is struggling with some of the excercises, so I was hoping the hands-free Kinect hardware would be better suited for this game, but ofc it all depends on how well the programmers have been able to inplement the hardware. if it can handle exercises that have you down on the floor and viewing you from the side, then I'm all for it.
So waiting for a review to help me make up my mind (Mel B or EA Sports Fitness 2), but I can understand the reviewer having to take a break and recover somewhat before giving us more fitness reviews

Re: Infinity Blade Began Life on Kinect and May Yet Return
Shadow Complex is awesome, possibly the best game on the XBLA, let's hope these guys come up with something really cool for the Kinect!

Found a javelin joke for you
Q. How is playing a bagpipe like throwing a javelin blindfolded?
A. You don't have to be very good to get people's attention.
Re: Interviews: Frontier Developments - Kinectimals
David Braben, as in one of the guys behind the classic Elite, and it's follow-ups like Frontier, etc? Cool.
