Review Yoostar 2 (PlayStation 3)
An offer you can refuse
Acting and singing have a lot in common: plenty of people believe they do them brilliantly, and the speed with which celebrities flit between both disciplines would have you believe they’re easy. As anyone who’s listened to a loved one murder a beloved song at karaoke will tell you, singing is best left to the...
News Still More Demand than Supply for Move Controllers at GameStop
Low supply holding back growth
When PlayStation Move launched way back in September, many shoppers reported an abundance of bundle packages compared to the controllers sold on their own.

News The Top Spin Advert 2K Didn't Want You to See
Sexy back
Top Spin 4 has landed and made quite an impact, but had it arrived with this advertising campaign from 2K its reception might have been very different. The advert puts a Move controller into the hands of tennis star Serena Williams, wearing an outfit that can only be described as "not regulation tennis whites". It appears the...
Review Top Spin 4 (PlayStation 3)
Balls in your court
Motion controllers and tennis games have seemed the perfect match ever since Wii Sports put a plastic Remote in your hand and told you to be Roger Federer. Regrettably, since then, few titles — if any — have come close to matching Nintendo's pack-in when it comes to intuitive controls and the all-important fun factor: EA's...
News Kevin Van Dam Hoping to Hook Move this Summer
A trout time
Ahh, the relaxing pastime of taking a boat out from the shore, settling for a nice quiet spot and then trying to snag a fish's lips on a hook before wrestling it out of its habitat and into a boat. The humane way to do things is in the virtual world of course, and although Rapala Pro Bass Fishing has already had a go at recreating the...
News Move Controls in BioShock Infinite "Would Cheat Gamers"
So says Ken Levine
The anticipated scurry of first-person franchises over to PlayStation Move hasn't quite materialised yet: Portal 2 does not feature Move, although EA is considering Move for Battlefield 3. 2K sequel BioShock Infinite won't be using the motion controller though, and why not? According to BioShock creator Ken Levine, it's so users...
News Killzone 3 On Kinect Makes Great Case for Buttons
Sensor works on PlayStation 3
We've written plenty about how good Killzone 3 is with PlayStation Move, but secretly we'd all love to know what it'd be like if played on Kinect. Now you need wonder no more, as an enterprising coder has got the sensor to work on PS3, and the first game on display is Guerilla Games' shooter. Naturally, as the game...
News Dynasty Warriors 7 Does Not Support PlayStation Move
Lost in translation
Last year we reported that Dynasty Warriors 7 would support PlayStation Move, but with the game due to release in a few weeks we can now confirm that the motion controller does not work with Tecmo Koei's historic epic. A representative from the publisher told us the support was only ever a rumour that arose around the original...

News "Very Exciting" Move Support for LittleBigPlanet 2 Coming
Still don't know when

Recently the topic has come up again, with rumours pointing to a PlayStation Move-enabled "Teacher's...

News Sony: "We Wouldn't Ditch Traditional Controllers"
"Doesn't make sense"
We love PlayStation Move here at Movemodo — of course — but we're secretly partial to a bit of DualShock 3 action as well. In the future we expect Move to play an increasingly important part in PlayStation's control method, but that doesn't mean the standard dual analogue scheme is going out of the year, according to R&D...

Sony's Heavy Rain was one of the stand-out games of 2010 whether playing with Move or DualShock, and last night's BAFTA Video Games Awards have honoured Quantic Dream's game with a trio of statues. David Cage's detective thriller scooped the award for Technical Innovation, beating Kinectimals, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and more. It also...
