Kinect family games

[Barmaid]

Can anyone recommend some good games for Kinect Xbox that the whole family can play, please? (For whole family, read "slightly idiotic woman who can't do "Cars" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows").

On cold or grotty days, I thought it might be nice for us all to play something and have a bit of a giggle while we are doing it.

The Kinect Sports series is very good and perfect for family fun and easy to play. Also Ravin Rabbids looks very good fun (lots of fun party games).

Thanks Matt. I've just been and got Kinect Sports 2 but the boys are being horrid to me because I can't play darts!!!!

i second raving rabids

[Mattk]

Can't play darts? Oh dear...!

A tip for you - play using a fist rather than pretending to hold a dart. When you have positioned the target correctly simply pull your arm back and punch at the camera. You'll find it gives a much steadier aim.

lol matt, I'll try that. That'll shock em!

I'll get Ravin Rabbids next time I am out.

I think the darts is the best game on there. But then I like darts so its subjective. Maybe when my XBL is back up together we can do sports online!

[Booldawg]

oh and yes, the family seem to enjoy Dance Central (we have no 2) Even I'm getting into it!

[Mattk]

Darts is too short. KS should allow you to increase the game length.

Not yet Trigger. I needed to look into it before I let him loose on an external network.

The boys loved Sports 2. They played until about 7pm and by 8pm were both snoring on the sofa. So I had a lovely peaceful evening. ;)

[Barmaid]

lol Trigger. I'd last about 4 seconds. DOes x box live do a version of Masterchef? I could cope with that.

I'm guessing verbals such as "you're such a loser, punk" is the kind of thing I have to get my head round? You should have heard the insults being thrown by my OH's lad yesterday!!!!!!
