News Sony Announces New North American PlayStation Move Bundles For The Holidays
It's hard to believe that it's only been a year since the PlayStation Move hit store-shelves
The catalogue of supported games has been growing steadily ever since release — and continues to catch steam as the Holidays approach. In order to recognise the abundance of content, SCEA has announced two new PlayStation Move bundles for North America...
Feature Dream E3 Announcements: Zindagi Games Announce True PlayStation Move Tennis Title
Regular readers will know we have a minor obsession with tennis games
We're probably one of the few video game blogs that actually discusses tennis games on a regular basis. For that, we apologise to our non-tennis fan readers — but just give us 1,000 more words to talk about one of our dream E3 announcements: a PlayStation Move tennis game...
Rumour Sports Champions Developer To Prove The Potential Of PlayStation Move For A Second Time?
Sports Champions is one of the most heavily under-rated releases of 2010 in our opinion
It's not that the game scored unfavourably, it's just that it didn't manage to register on the radar of most players. Which is a deep shame, because as far as we're concerned, the sports compilation's interpretation of table-tennis is hands-down the most accurate...
News New Characters Join The Sports Champions Roster This Week
Cast your mind back to E3 2009 when Sony demoed the "PlayStation Motion Controller"
You may remember some tech demonstrations involving skeletons and specters. The PlayStation Motion Controller eventually became the PlayStation Move, and those tech demonstrations formed the basis of Sports Champions. But what of the skeletons and specters? Sony's...
UK Charts FIFA 11 Says "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am!"
FIFA 11's jumped straight to the top of the UK sales charts this week, achieving the third biggest video game launch in UK history
The title overthrew its predecessor to take the crown, falling just short of records set by Modern Warfare 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV. Unit sales are up 21 percent over the previous title, with revenue up 36 percent...
News F1 2010 Vroooms To The Top Of The UK Sales Charts, Sports Champions Stays Strong
Someone tell Jake Humphrey not to worry about his job; F1 is still a big deal in the UK
That's apparent as F1 2010 has scooped the number one UK sales spot. Codemasters' racing title beat out competition from both Halo: Reach and Dead Rising 2 — the latter of which debuted in the number three spot. PlayStation Move must-have Sports Champions held...
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...
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 Scores Second Spot On The UK All Formats Chart
Late last night, we were deliberating PlayStation Move sales
We knew we were due a weekly UK sales report from Chart-Track this morning, and we were mulling over what would be a decent showing from the PlayStation Move's first must-have title, Sports Champions. We've always expected Move's launch window to be slow. Unlike Microsoft's Kinect, we...
News PlayStation Move It: Sony's Motion Controller Has Arrived (Huzzah!)
The PlayStation Move officially launched across Europe and the US today
We've spent our day making fools of ourselves in Start The Party and winning digital cups in Sports Champions. Needless to say, our attention's been torn today. Sure, we want to tell you about all the things that have happened in the world of PlayStation but... Move is here...
News PushSquare's PlayStation Picks: 13th-19th September 2010 [It's Move Week]
It's that time of the year when video games hit store shelves and, in all honesty, we're in a bit of a panic
But we're also excited. Particularly this week, because we'll finally be getting our hands on the PlayStation Move. We fell in love with the device when we checked it out earlier in the year; so we're awaiting the device's imminent retail...
News Take A Tour Of The PlayStation Move's Demo Disc
If you're planning on picking up a PlayStation Move controller next week, you might want to know what gubbins you'll get on the starter kit's accompanying demo disc

Feature PlayStation Move Reviews Are Go-Go-Go, Largely Very Positive
Today is the day of reckoning
Just a year after the PlayStation 3 Slim's launch here in Europe, Sony's got another big day ahead of them. The PlayStation Move is out in the wild, and Sony's let some of the big publications go knee-deep with impressions. On the whole, everything's looking pretty positive for Sony's motion controller. Joystiq describe...
News Sony: There Are Plans For Sports Champions DLC
Sony's confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that "there are plans" to bring DLC to the excellent Sports Champions
According to one of the game's producers, Jeremy Ray, the team will be "announcing details soon". Whether or not the DLC will stretch to new sports, we're uncertain. We'd hazard the added content will focus on adding characters,...
News Subway & Sony Continue To Be BFFs
We thought we'd seen the end of the Sony and Subway partnership the moment we posted this story earlier in the year
We were wrong. Seems the pairing really are best buddies at the moment. Take Subway's latest promotion, the "Fiery Footlong Frenzy". There's a bunch of PlayStation-related gubbins involved, including: PS3 systems, games, 3D...
News Because Motion Controller Demonstrations Are Always Better With The Fairer Sex At The Helm
Irritating, cheap, annoying
.. cute. We couldn't resist posting this one. Good PlayStation Move promotional work PlayStation Taiwan. Just make sure you turn off the sound.</em>
First Impressions Sports Champions on PlayStation 3
Admittedly, Sports Champions has about as much charm as a limp sock
But having got hands-on time with the compilation's table tennis game, we're not sure it matters. That's because PlayStation Move works; this is not a device playing on empty promises and faked lifestyle commercials - it does what Sony have always said it will: track your movements...
Feature Push Square's Most Anticipated PlayStation Games Of Holiday 2010: Sports Champions
Table tennis
That's all we want. That's all we've ever wanted. Well to be honest, that's not strictly true. A good motion controlled tennis game is truly what we've always wanted. But for now, table tennis will do. Yes, we know you can play it on the Wii, but Sports Champions looks to take those Wii Sports Resort concepts an elevate them to an even...
News PlayStation Move Is Cheapy-Cheap In Japan, For Reals
In America you can get a PlayStation Move Starter Kit (that's a Move controller, PlayStation Eye and copy of Sports Champions) for $99
99. In the UK, the same starter kit without Sports Champions is £59.99 (or £49.99 if you do a bit of shopping). In Japan though, the Starter Kit costs just $67 (5,980 yen). You get the same kit as the US version,...
News Piles Of PlayStation Move Branded Boxart Revealed
Here's your first glimpse at the European packaging for a bunch of PlayStation Move launch titles
The pack shots come courtesy of French site Gamekyo, who somehow managed to get hold of the job-lot. We're not too hot on the "You'll Need These" logo on the front of the boxes, but we guess it gets the job done. Perhaps the most notable point...
News Half-Hour PlayStation Move Demo Hits The Net
A new 30-minute PlayStation Move demo has hit the 'Net, offering new footage of both Sports Champions and Move Party
The video, which is in German, offers some footage we're yet to really see of Sports Champions, including volleyball and frisbee. Sports Champions looks particularly impressive from a technical stance, but we fear its art-style is a...
News Stuff Magazine Go Hands-On With Playstation Move, Like What They See

News Sony: Playstation Move Has A Big "Advantage" Over The Wii
Sony's Worldwide Studios VP Scott Rohde has spoken out to IndustryGamers regarding the difference between the Playstation Move and the Nintendo Wii Remote
Both devices are thematically similar, where the player gestures with a controller and has their actions represented on the screen. But Rohde reckons that's where the similarities end, using...
News GDC 10: Sports Champions Is Playstation Move's Answer To Wii Sports Resort
During their GDC keynote last night, Sony showed off a sports game collection for the Playstation Move with some similarities to Nintendo's own Wii Sports Resort
