This holiday season, it’s all about motion control. Which one should go on a holiday wish list or deserves your hard-earned allowance money?

Microsoft Kinect

What is it: Kinect has a camera that sits on your TV that can detect your face, position and track all your movements. Players can navigate menus and play games with hand gestures and their voice. It plugs into an Xbox 360.

Details: Kinect costs $150, and it comes with Kinect Adventures.

Games: Our favorites include Dance Central, Kinect Sports and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.

The good: Totally hands-free. Easy to use. One Kinect can accommodate multiple players.

The bad: Requires a lot of space, and there is a slight lag in response time.

Sony PlayStation Move

What is it: The Move uses a video camera and a controller for interactive play.

Details: The Move comes in a $99 Sports Champion Bundle, which includes the camera, controller and a sports game.

Games: Most of the titles are disappointing. The exception is EyePet: Your Virtual Pet.

The good: The tracking of the Move Motion Controller is spot on. Cheaper than Kinect.

The bad: You’re still holding a controller.
