News MotorStorm Apocalypse Move Support "Coming Soon"
It's not ready yet

News Puddle Makes a Splash on PSN in November
Sorry about that
Konami's liquid PSN puzzler Puddle looks like an interesting use of PlayStation Move, and at least as interesting as the rather-similar-actually Fluidity on WiiWare. The inevitable result of Move's motion controls and a game about fluids, you tilt the controller to funnel the liquids through a series of mazes, avoiding fire,...
News Get Physical After Hours with New Move Triple Pack
Turn the lights low

News Move Mind Benders Holds Three Puzzlers in One
Best of all, it's got Lemmings
Some of Move's best content is available on the PlayStation Store, but what about those PS3 owners who aren't able to get online: should they miss out on the motion-controlled treats? Of course not.

News Wipeout is Coming to PlayStation Move
No, not the good one, sorry
We felt the same: when we read that Wipeout 2 is coming to PlayStation Move, we started imagining controlling futuristic racers with motion controllers.

News This is What Move Fitness Looks Like in Motion
Sony steps up
While the announcement of Move Fitness was a surprise to some, it really shouldn't be: Sony's lack of a fitness title has meant it's missed out on a lucrative market for PlayStation Move, but that will change later this year. Here's the official Gamescom trailer showing you just how much fun fitness can be when you've got PlayStation...

News Vita Launch Will Be "A Car Wreck" says UFC Trainer Dev
Not a fan, then...
In a world of corporate spin and carefully worded PR speak, it's rare to hear a developer truly speak what he or she feels.

Sit back and enjoy
Champion Jockey will make use of PlayStation Move when it launches next month, but how? Let this video answer all your questions.
