Gunstringer is by far the best Kinect game I think, and one of my favorite 360 games in general. $150 for 2 games more than the Kinect bundle normally comes with, 1 of which is unbeatable on Kinect, this is an awesome deal. If you were considering getting one, this is the way to go.

Ill also agree that Gunstringer is the best Kinect game out there and will give the majority of the main console games a very good run for their money!

I think a lot of people feel The Gunstringer is the best game out for Kinect at this point (what I think he means by unbeatable). So the fact that they are including it in the Holiday Bundle probably helps that argument too. Fruit Ninja Kinect just gets to tag along since it was a pack-in code with The Gunstringer.

Sorry, when I said "unbeatable", I meant other games couldn't beat it, not that you can't finish the game.
