Get the low down on this beat down
If you're a hardcore gamer interested in the PlayStation Move, chances are that The Fight: Lights Out has been on your radar for quite some time.

News TRON: Evolution's Move Controls are Light Cycle Only
Short but sweet
TRON: Evolution is due to de-rez Europe on Friday, and now we've had our first look at the Move controls we can confirm they're a bit disappointing.

Talking Point Why Are Accessories So Important Anyway?
What's the big deal?
We've reported on Move as an important factor in growing the accessory sector at retail, but with hardware and software figures falling year-on-year why is the success of plastic add-ons so important? Accessories Make Money: For retailers, accessories are key: profits made from add-ons far outweighs the margin on a new game or...
News This is What Move's and Kinect's Children Would Look Like
If manufactured very, very cheaply
When the Wii was released we saw countless cheap knock-offs flood the market – remember the Vii? – and now it looks like Move is about to receive its own sincerest form of flattery in the form of the "i-dong".

News Kevin Butler Explains Why Gran Turismo 5's So Awesome, Steals A Sports Car
Kevin Butler's excelled himself this time
Not only is this American commercial for Gran Turismo 5 pretty darn comical, it also hammers home every single one of the game's unique selling points.
