The Kinect was released to the world in late 2010 and is the first hands free console. It rivals the Nintendo Wii and Playstation Move. Sales of the Kinect soared pre-Christmas and in early January with people seeing it as a good way to burn calories and lose weight. New Year's resolutions to get fit seemed to help with the sale of Kinect fitness games. The best Kinect games are no doubt those that help the gamer stay in shape and burn calories. Fortunately the Kinect has a wide range of fitness games from dance ones, to workout ones and sports ones.

There have been a number of great titles released for the Kinect and the best-selling Kinect games tend to be Kinect Sports or EA Sports 2. Many of the games are kinect fitness games with the action, sport and dance ones all requiring a large amount of moving around. The best Kinect dance game is a throw up between Dance Central and Dancemasters, while the best Kinect childrens game is Kinectimals. Other games for the Kinect include Your Shape Fitness Evolved and Zumba Fitness. The number of calories that can be burnt with any of the Kinect fitness games depends on your weight and how much effort you put into the game. Obviously some games and activities burn more calories than others.

No doubt 2011 will see many more releases and hopefully we will see the best Kinect games yet in 2011. Already scheduled for release are Michael Jackson The Experience and Brunswick Pro Bowling.
