ButtonMasher: It seems that all the motion gaming platforms need a faux-lightgun shooter, and the Kinect has the unique dilemma of not having a controller to wave around and pretend is some kind of strangely weightless gun. Playing to the strengths of the Kinect is no easy task, and juggling a sense of disconnect from reality and a little latency doesn’t usually lend itself to high flying action. Twisted Pixel’s marionette western does the best with what may not be the best fit.

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."
