News More PlayStation Classics Emerge, Mortal Kombat & Prince Of Persia To Support 3D
Perhaps one of the more divisive decisions this generation has been to remaster some of the PlayStation 2's classic titles for the PlayStation 3

Feature Overlooking The Depth In Sports Champions -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I've spent a good chunk of my week playing table-tennis
Don't be silly, I've not risked my life sharing the Youth Club's beaten down excuse for a table-tennis table with a group of hoods — I've been playing the sport in my living room via PlayStation Move. I've always been a fan of motion controls and, in particular, motion controlled sports...

News PlayStation Move was Too Expensive to Launch Alongside PS3
Tech was just too costly
We know that Move has been in development since the days of PS2, so some gamers have naturally posed the question "why wasn't it available sooner?"

Review Kung Fu Rider (PlayStation 3)
Is the ticket worth the ride?
On the surface, Kung Fu Rider comes off as a fun variation on the downhill racing formula, removing the boxcars or skateboards players might expect to ride and switching them out for office chairs and luggage. To make this premise even more wacky, the protagonists periodically perform kung fu moves while riding these...
News PDC Darts Pro Tour Aiming for PlayStation Move Bullseye

First Impressions TV Superstars on PlayStation 3 Demo
TV Superstars is nothing if not unusual
The Studio Cambridge-developed PlayStation Move party game is clearly a parody of British celebrity culture. But its presentation is so bonkers it's hard to believe that anyone outside of the UK will understand it. At least we can say it's "unique". Our demo started with an introduction to TV...

Review Racket Sports (PlayStation 3)
Turn that racket off
Ubisoft’s Racket Sports ('Racquet Sports' in North America) started life on Wii as Racquet Sports Party, a multiplayer waggle-fest that was one of few games to employ Ubi’s Wii camera to allow controller-free gameplay. Since then it’s received an overhaul in the graphical and control departments, but it’s only a sheep in...

News Shaun White Skateboarding Actually Looks Really Rather Good
We can't get on with the Skate games
We appreciate why people enjoy the hardcore stick-flicking of EA's franchise, but we grew up with the Tony Hawk games, where you mash lots of buttons and watch your score multiply.

News Heartbreak: LittleBigPlanet 2 Delayed Into January 2011
What a difference a few short months can make
We write this news with a heavy heart and sadness behind our eyes. Even our plush Sackboy - whom sleeps in the office bed - doesn't look his usual jovial self this morning. That's because LittleBigPlanet 2's been officially delayed. The game was originally due for release in November, but Sony and Media...

Review Start the Party (PlayStation 3)
We rock the party
Start the Party is every core Move owner's worst nightmare: a minigame collection, full of casual, family-friendly gameplay. Although the usual issues that hold back the genre are all present and correct here, it's still not a bad title for families and those wanting a silly but enjoyable introduction to the controller. You won't...

News Capcom Denies That They're Alienating PlayStation 3 Owners With Dead Rising 2
The first thing we thought when Capcom announced a second piece of XBOX 360 exclusive Dead Rising 2 content during TGS last week was, "Why?" Not why are they releasing the exclusive content, but why are they bothering to put the full game on the PlayStation 3 in the first place? They may aswell have kept the franchise an exclusive, as they don't seem fully committed to the PS3 at all
Sony fans are understandably felling pretty alienated now. But Capcom denies any wrong-doing. Co-producer Shinsaku...

News Sony Touts The Importance Of Buttons As An Input Device
Sony tried controller-less last generation
It didn't really work out. While the EyeToy was an interesting piece of tech, it hit a brick-wall when it came to most control decisions. The lack of tactile feedback in a controller-less device severely limits the number of things that can be achieved. Hence the direction taken with the PlayStation Move...
News The Wait For Bioshock: Infinite Is Going To Be Long & Difficult
We were excited about Bioshock: Infinite the moment it got announced
The game's debut trailer was stunning. But nothing really prepared us for this 10 minute gameplay blow-out. Infinite looks distinctly Bioshock in gameplay, but the world and setting carries the same amazement as the initial encounters with Rapture. Columbia looks fascinating. From...

The USB cable for the PlayStation Eye isn't the most attractive part of the Move set-up; wouldn't a wireless option be so much better? Well yes it would, if it were possible.

Shuhei Yoshida believes Sony and Microsoft's motion control war has been extremely beneficial to the PlayStation Move

News Naughty Dog's Next Title Too Far Gone to Feature Move Support

Whatever Naughty Dog is working on, whether Uncharted 3 or something completely different, it's already too far into development for PlayStation Move controls to make an appearance.

Review Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition (PlayStation 3)
Motion slickness
Let loose in March 2009, Capcom's original release of Resident Evil 5 was received with critical acclaim, but was recognised as having more in common with third-person action games than the survival horror premise of earlier titles in the series. With extra features available in the Gold Edition, gamers have the chance to revisit...
Review Sports Champions (PlayStation 3)
Will it make you want to Move?
When Sony announced it was developing a motion controller for PlayStation 3, it certainly didn't shock anyone to see a collection of motion-controlled sports games to go along with it. While comparisons to Nintendo's Wii Remote and Wii Sports Resort are inevitable, it might be a bit more fair to compare it to the...
Feature Five DLC Characters We'd Love To See Added To Sports Champions
Our biggest complaint with the excellent Sports Champions is that on a presentation level it's pretty flat
Let's be honest here, who is going to remember what Kenji and Giselle look like? Zindagi might have done an excellent job programming personality into the AI opponents, but their art team weren't on form designing the characters. That's fine,...

News Sports Champions Grabs the Silver Medal in UK Charts
Only outsold by Halo: Reach
