I had Kinect Fun Labs and many of its mini-games installed on my XBox prior to the initial Metro/Tiles dashboard update of around a year ago. Now, after the latest dashboard update the files are still on my Xbox's hard drive (they show in Settings -> System -> Storage -> Games and Apps). But I can't find where to access/run it.
There is a Kinect Central tile on the Dashboard's Home screen, but there doesn't appear to be any launcher for Fun Labs in there. It doesn't show up in the My Games list, or the My Apps list. Fun Labs can still be installed from this page on xbox.com Kinect Fun Labs but it shows as an add-on (it has the gamepad with a plus "+" sign over it), with no sign of which game or app it is an add-on to, the description also shows that its only 18months old (released 06/2011) I can't believe that an app would be so totally out of support already as to be inaccessible.
I've tried deleting it and redownloading (from the link above) but that doesn't seem to make any difference either.
Some of the mini-games in there were quite fun and I was hoping to play them with some young relatives who'd visited lately.
Failing the above, is there any way to access the mini-games that were formerly hosted in Kinect Fun Labs, eg Googly Eyes, Bobble Head, Kinect Me, Build A Buddy, etc?

The marketplace lists Kinect Fun Labs as an addon to the game Kinect Fun Labs, and you'll just recurse infinitely if you try to do anything from this page but download the addon. The only way I was able to get into Kinect Fun Labs with the latest dashboard update was to:
Owing to the odd way it's classified by the Marketplace, you can't pin the game, and it doesn't appear to show up in the "Recent" view even if it is the last thing you've played. You'll have to repeat this process each time you want to launch the Labs.
