Whereas many Kinect titles have felt like glorified tech demos, offering anthologies of disjointed mini-games, The Gunstringer artfully binds its variety of gameplay mechanics together. Crowned with a remarkable amount of verve, creativity, and polish, the game is precisely what Microsoft needs to maintain the momentum of their peripheral.

With Microsoft announcing that they’re stopping production of the Kinect, we reflect and look back at some of the highlights that the motion based peripheral has given us.
I actually prefer KS season one, and Kinect Adventure over most on the list. But its good that someone else was bold enough to say these were fun and interesting games to play.
GXC: "Twisted Pixel Games’ Kinect adventure, The Gunstringer may soon be finding a new home on Kinect for Windows PC."
is the Wavy Man Chronicles any fun to play or is it just silly?
Still not enough to make me drop $150 on a Kinect.
Also, in early January, Microsoft announced that it sold/shipped 8 million units of Kinect. The latest figure is 10 mil. This new number implies that they've only been able to push 2 million units worldwide in the past 5 months. Also, they actually touted the 10 million figure back in March, which means that in last five months or so, sales have stagnated even more.
Slowing sales=pack in, then possibly of a price drop. I doubt Kinect will stay at $150 for too long.
