In a bit of a quandry as the Kinect's are on sale at Best Buy for $99 and I feel like Im burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone use this frequently? Worth it? I have my daughter every other weekend and she uses the Wii like crazy but I'm wondering about the adult applicability factor.
Played it a few times at a friends house and I like the bowling on it way better than the Wii. In my opinion it is worth it so long as you are getting a compatible game with it or you already have a game that works with it
For kids - probably great.. for adults? Depends on what kind of games you're into. If you're into the dance dance etc. games... probably awesome. If you're into FPS' and the like, probably a dud..
My kids like it but I have yet to play it. My wife did right after we got it and it damn near gave her a heart attack. When I helped them set it up it seemed like it was having difficulty tracking them. We got a new tv and I need to move the sensor up, hopefully that will help. Also, when our dogs happen to walk in front of them it screws up the tracking as well.
I've heard reports of people having to move the TV in their room because there wasn't enough space in front of the camera for it to work properly, and I've also heard that you need a tidy room as too much clutter can confuse it.
Video games are meant to played in a sitting position with a bag of Doritos (other ****ty tortilla based snacks are available) on your lap....
Shame on you people with your desire to move and stuff.......
There seem to be more promising games coming. The favorite at our house with Kinect is the Dance Central games. Rise of Nightmares looks pretty cool, and I never buy games like that.
I love it and i am 24
Just make sure you get kinect sport,kinect sports season 2 and fruit ninja
Those are the best games for it
I also like being able to talk to my xbox and browse hulu plus and netflix via voice and hand gestures and telling my xbox to shut down.
I think its worth it and is great to play with your friends.
keep checking sites like AMAZON....price drops all the time....
Anyone knows pc games that support kinect device by factory? I have read something about drivers that allow kinect to use it as input device or mouse for paint and general pointing actions but i don't know it about gaming use for example C.O.D. III
NickFee
I own one and... that's great! Btw more and more cool games are out
For me just singleplayer gamer is kinect useless but playing with friends is totaly best
Anyone got any good PS3 games they'd like to reccomend? Just finished Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots, kinda sad that Snake died :'(

You're a little late on the MGS4
If you enjoyed the stealth aspect of MGS4 you'll probably like Deus Ex Human Revolution.
If you like RPGs Fallout:New Vegas Game Of the Year came out recently and it includes all the DLC plus the base game for less than the cost of the DLC.
Completed it again on Extreme for kicks
I think I'll let the thread run for a while, see what I get! (Your suggestions were pretty cool, might check 'em out

Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's a greatest hit now so it should only be $20 brand new.
God of War III. Definitely worth at least one playthrough.
One of the new versions of Street Fighter.
Dead Space 1&2
Uncharted, all of them. They're the only games that really push your console to its boundaries, and show what it can do. Of course they are good games otherwise too.
If you like racing games, then I recommend Gran Turismo 5, it's a great driving simulator with a LOT of stuff. Car info and prices are quite realistic, and so is the driving itself.
Also, if you care for arcade style race more, the check out Need for Speed Shift 1 and 2. They're also pretty good, just different.

Same here, Uncharted No question. I saw the preview for Uncharted 3, then looked up 2, then grabbed 2, After I read the reviews, I picked up the first one. Played all 3 in order. OMG I would of gotten a PS3 just for that series. There is nothing like it on the 360 (and I am a much bigger 360 fan than PS3)
Check out the preview for "The last of us", from the same makers as Uncharted, but, this is a game that I will have on release day, it looks that good...
If you like different cop type of games, Heavy Rain is a big one for the system and got great reviews.
You could always do the shooter games, Black Ops, MW3, great games, no question but, they are cross platform. I also enjoyed Max Payne 3 (good story if you like Max Payne, I did play the 360 version tho)
Two ther epic games are inFamous & inFamous 2. That is one of THE best games ever made for a console. ;-) Why have all the best characters gotta die? !

If you want to yell at your TV and want to curse that you bought a PS3 ... play Ninja Gaiden Sigma ... I can't even give that game away because everyone returns it after playing it. It is sooo freaking hard.

I'm a big fan of Battlefield 3(BF in general) too. PC players say it's not a game for consoles, but I disagree. Sure it's better on PC(64P and HC graphics), but you can't say it's not good for PS3. Love that game. Way better than CoD IMO. Don't like playing with 8yr old kids!

Why? They've only released two extensions and there are still three to come(total of 5). Next Battlefield will be released in min. year.

Both BioShock games are really good, the first one has an AMAZING story and the second one lets you dual wield so the gameplay is better. The Portal Games are really good too if you like puzzles, the first one is on The Orange Box which is a great value! It has the Half Life games on it, they are sweet games if you like oldschool style FPS. For upcoming games check out Watch Dogs, Dishonored, and BioShock Infinite.
Battlefield 3 was great until all the worthless updates. CQ is every COD lovers wet dream, people are whoring aim assist, and a number of tweaks have just made the game utterly ridiculous. I will not be buying anymore battle sims in the near future it seems. The game is not anywhere near as fun as it used to be.

I don't understand... The tweaking and updates are only released to balance the game. Practically, there are no over powered weapons due to the active updating. CoD is only updated when there is really really something wrong, a huge bug or something. DICE updates the game to make it fun for every one.

As this thread started out as a specific "advise me of new PS3 games", I didn't see the need to point people at the existing gaming thread. It's now become pretty much what that thread is so I suggest people go there to carry on discussing this.

Incidentally, Max Payne 3 is awesome
Thread closed.
I really couldn't figure out if this belongs here but here I go.
So, wanting a better gaming experience and not having a ps3 controller, I decided to get an otg adapter for my Logitech dual action pc controller. I did this because I noticed after playing around with a root explorer, that our phone had a file to support a Logitech controller.
Well, sure enough it worked......with shadow gun. I tried to get it to work with the dark knight rises but no luck. Tried the Joy2touch app to see if I could get my Logitech controller to work with any game, but couldn't get it set up. Might have been user error on my part, but can anyone attest that Joy2touch or some other app can get a random game controller like the Logitech dual action to work? Or maybe you guys have a better solution?

havent tried it but might be worth a try.
I got a PowerA MOGA for Christmas. Works pretty nice, I love it. Can be a pain to pair sometimes. Works with many big name games. Fun to use and it holds the phone. Kinda expensive but worth it, I would have bought it had I not received it http://www.powera.com/moga

Download Six Axis App app from the play store. Then go HERE. You'll get your ps3 to work with every game including emulators. It's pretty awesome actually.
Also visit XDA S3 Six Axis Profiles Happy Gaming!
ps - we share same resolution as the gs3 so the profiles for those work just fine with the note 2.

I think you missed the fact that he doesn't have a PS3 controller.
With your setup, you're going to need games that have native gamepad support, which shadowgun does. Madfingers is pretty good about adding it: their Samuri games don't. Rockstar has it on GTA3: I think GTAVC has it too.
I would see if you can pick up used, and hopefully not abused, PS3 sixaxis controller. You can probably get the non-dual shock version pretty cheap; it has not vibrate function. The Sixaxis Controller app makes it more robust because of being able to map touch controls, which is what profiles are. Not all games are can done profiled such as Dead Space.
Other controllers I've read about it, such as Moga, still need game developers to add support. I know there are other blue tooth controllers, but you'll still looking at the same limitations mentioned above.
Overall, it's just a limit of the game themselves. I would say most mobile game users are not keeping a controller with them. Thus, game developers are designing their games for no gamepad use. Maybe is Ouya and other similar devices prove to be successful beyond being niche, maybe developers will add native game pad support
Anyone using this controller? Is there any simple way to configure it?
I did everything correct, I can control the phone with it. But when I enter game, for example FIFA 14, I got no response at all. I know that FIFA is supporter. ANy solution to this?
Which?

Figured it out. FIFA is only supported with root.
I have the 9021 but how on earth do u get it working on fifa or real racing 3? The tutorials on YouTube are crap at absolute best!

I know you must be rooted, so I didn't look for more information. Problem with this controller is connecting to phone, it's such a pain in the ass, sometimes it takes 10 minutes
Surprised no one's started this one yet. Just a thread for gamers to post what's working and what isn't. Also, to share about any titles that you particularly love. I'm always on the look out for new high quality games. I love FPS and RPG. Not a big fan of strategy which kinda sucks cuz there's SO many out there. Anyway, once I get mine (should be Monday), I'm loading up Deus Ex: The Fall, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 4 (and maybe 5), maybe a couple of Final Fantasy ones, the Bard's Tale, Iesabel, Dead Trigger 2, Temple Run, Super hexagon, Fluid SE, Playstation emu, GBA emu, and whatever else I'm not remembering right now. Anyone else have good ideas? Or other games I should try? Can't wait for Exiles to come out--that's the new massive single player RPG by the same people who gave us Ravesword Shadowlands.
Anyway, thanks for sharing!!
check out the Kingdom Rush series. their latest was just released last night and it's fun as hell.
I bought xcom enemy within last week on my Note 3. I intended to play it on a road trip this week, but they don't support Nexus 6. I copied it over from a titanium backup and restored it, and it runs, but the graphics in the gameplay are really messed up. So I bought Icewind Dale to play instead. It seems to work. Never played it back in the day so looking forward to it.
XModgames does not work at all for me, I am rooted. Anyone else have luck?
Soul Calibur runs great on this phone! Also, it is on sale for $4!

Try Modern Combat 5. It has some intensive graphics. It lagged on G3 a big time. So thinking about its performance on Nexus 6. I've pre-ordered my Nexus 6 but it's yet to come. Here it'll launch on the 2nd week of December
U know, it's weird. I played that game on the lg G3 and it ran GREAT. Thing is, I'm not to crazy about the changes they made from part 4. These super short missions, with specific goals u have to complete. It just seems too controlled. I like part 3 and 4--it's a bit more "open" to however u want to play. Just kill everyone and don't die...lol. Seems simpler. I think they tried to make it too much like dead trigger 2 and the execution wasn't as great. It could just be me--I don't know. You're right about the graphics tho, they are awesome.
EDIT: I meant to quote the post above mine about MC 5. Don't know why it didn't work.
Haven't gotten mine yet. Can someone check to see if Mass Effect Infiltrator is compatible? I liked that game but haven't been able to play it in a while because of incompatibilities.

U know, it's so ridiculous what EA has done (or more appropriately, hasn't done) with this game. I've had sooooo many devices that I don't remember the last one it worked on but I kno it hasn't worked for a LONG time for me on A LOT of devices. Really sucks cuz it was a good game. If u ask me EA is being really stupid. If they updated it, it would still be selling.

I know, same here. I don't remember the last device it worked on. I like console quality games like this. It's a shame they put something out there so good and just move on to something else and leave us hangin. It wouldn't be so bad but really good games are few and far between.
