Allow me to dwell on one of the hottest topics in the gaming community, motion gaming. Many people hate them with the burning passion of a brightly lit tanning bed, and fewer have an open mind about them. I my self have been lucky(or unlucky in some ways) enough to explore the new technology of the Playstation Move, and the Microsoft Kinect.
Now I was relatively open minded(but not so open minds my brain would fall out) on these devices because a new control method would be a nice diversion from our call of duties, and halo's(in my case killzones) Now out of the Move, and Kinect I saw the move as being far more of an effective way of playing these kind of games because it brought the 3d motion tracking of the kinect(although not as advanced), and the buttons(which are pretty damn important) of the wiimote, but the kinect's way of playing could create it's own kind of motion games to differ it's self. When I got my hands on the games my opinions didn't change much, but the major, and most important thing about them was answered. Were they're games fun?
To answer that, well, yea kind of. They aren't mind blowingly fun. They are functional, and do work, but only have 1 or 2 stand out games (tumble for Move, and Dance central for kinect) Are they worth the amount you have to pay in order to play them? Well if your the kind of person that buys the new rock band games, and DJ hero's with expensive peripherals than yes. Dance central for the kinect would be worth it if your that kind of person, and for the Move, yes, even if you like to fancy your self a hardcore gamer, it has many big games being released that integrate it like killzone 3, and Socom 4 along with already released games like Heavy Rain that use it, and the fact that the move can actually keep up with a standard controller in terms of practicality says a lot about it's effectiveness.
But what about the rest of the games on these devices? Well, they are all horrible abominations of mankind designed by mutinous sea creatures created by Hitler, and Charles Manson's robotic counterpart in an experiment meant to drain the fun, youth, and humanity from all the little girls, and boys by the time Christmas season came around. So judging Motion gaming by those merits, and the hardware shows motion gaming has yet to really evolve, and in general sucks pretty hard.
On a side note I'd like to hear your own opinions on this matter, so if you have some, even strong ones, feel free to let them out, and if your a troll then just try to a be civilized troll then, you know, like Bill O'Reilly.
