: As if reality TV wasn't enough, looks like Hulk Hogan has his hand in the Kinect cookie jar as well. This game lets you try out all sorts of special moves that you'd expect in any televised wrestling match worth its salt. It's a nice companion to Fighters Uncaged, as the games are quite different in style and gameplay.Rise of Nightmares
: Here's a Kinect fighting game that's perfect for people who love all things gory-B-horror-movie. The terrifying action on the screen will be all that much more realistic when you have to actually control your character's movements with your body. Hopefully, you'll be up for hacking and slashing your way through the fear. Want a taste of the action? You can watch an extremely gruesome trailer here (obviously, not suitable for all audiences!)

#5: Kung Fu
High Impact
Kung Fu High Impact
Amazon Price: $29.96 (as of 05/29/2012)

Kung Fu High Impact gives you plenty of ways to fight for glory with limitless combinations of punches, kicks, jumps, and more.

There's also a feature that literally takes your picture and puts it into the storyline, which is a nice touch.
#4: PowerUP Heroes
Power Up Your Avatar
This game lets your Xbox avatar become a hero. Collect 20 super-powered suits to do battle alone, in versus mode with a friend, or online. The Kinect allows you to use your whole body to get into the fighting action.
PowerUp Heroes is made by UBI Soft, the same company that made Your Shape Fitness, Evolved (which has been voted one of the best Kinect exercise games), so you know that they've got the body-scanning and motion controls part down.

Punch Your Friends' Lights Out!
Kinect Sports

You can play in one-player mode, two players at the same time side by side, or play against opponents online

#1: Fighters Uncaged
Kick Some Animated Butt!
Fighters Uncaged
Amazon Price: $17.57 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $39.99
This is currently the best example of a fighting game on the Kinect to date. It's a game that really showcases the capabilities of the Kinect well, allowing you to use your whole body to fight your way through multiple opponents and levels. Some players say that getting the moves down right is tricky, but once you do, there is plenty of fun to be had. There's also a tag-team mode that allows you to play with a friend.
