Xbox One games you can’t play without Kinect

Microsoft announced a price drop for the Xbox One today, but that comes at the expense of the Kinect. Love it or hate it, there are some games and features you can only experience with the camera accessory.

Here are the games that are completely unplayable without Kinect:

• Kinect Sports Rivals

• Xbox Fitness
• Zumba Fitness World Party
• Fighter Within

Upcoming games that will likely be unplayable:

• Fantasia: Music Evolved
• The inevitable Dance Central game from Harmonix (which Yusuf Medhi seemed to confirm in an interview earlier today).

And here are some of the games that make use of Kinect, but you can still play with a standard controller:

• Angry Birds Star Wars
• Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
• Battlefield 4
• Call of Duty: Ghosts
• Crimson Dragon
• Dead Rising 3
• Fable Legends
• FIFA 14
• Forza Motorsport 5
• Killer Instinct
• Madden NFL 25
• NBA 2K14
• Need for Speed: Rivals
• Peggle 2
• Plants vs. Zombie: Garden Warfare
• Ryse: Son of Rome
• Thief
