Now that you may have had a chance to play Microsoft's new motion-based peripheral, does it meet expectations?

It's no mystery that the core gaming audience has held some deep skepticism about Kinect. The lack of a precise, buttoned controller and a launch lineup of games that seems to scream to a casual audience left many gamers cold on the product.

However, a couple of weeks in, many players are praising the technology and unique games like Dance Central and Kinectimals.

What's your take? Is Kinect worth your time? If you've played with it, has anything impressed you? What are your favorite games for the new peripheral? Where must the Kinect go next to keep your attention?
