News Vote for Tiger Woods' Cover Co-Star for PGA Tour 13
Has to be a golfer, though
There's no Tiger Woods golf game due out this year — in fact, there are no golf games of any sort out before 2012, which may be some sort of record, we reckon. The next outing from the Tiger is the cleverly named Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13, and it's due out next March. You can start your participation now by helping EA to...

News New Winter Stars Screens Stay Frosty
Over snow, ice and water
This press release is titled "Warm Up this Winter with Winter Stars".

News Cabela's Survival Lurks in the Shadows of Katmai

News Valve Staging a Counter-Strike for PlayStation Move
Respected series takes aim
Counter-Strike is one of the most well-loved shooters on PC, but hasn't reached quite the same level of success on consoles, perhaps due to the controls not working quite as nicely on a traditional controller.

News Grand Slam Tennis 2 Shots Show Their Faces
An impressive start
EA announced Grand Slam Tennis 2 several weeks ago, but the initial teaser trailer didn't show any player faces, causing us to worry if they'd suffer from the dreaded "Zombie Henman" effect that's plagued 3D tennis games since Virtua Tennis first swung a racquet. Now we have the first face shots, we can see how silly we...

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,...

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.
