I normally hate party games like this, but I really found myself enjoying the fly-swatting and painting games on the Move demo disc.
I'm not sure I'm convinced that this is a worthy full price purchase, but once it ends up in the virtual bargain bin I think I'll pick it up for a laugh.
I think a wireless camera is a little bit unnecessary really, but Sony could surely streamline it so it would sit more attractively on top of a HDTV. It's a bit of a "eye"-sore isn't it?
Also a detactable USB cable wouldn't go amiss, then I could easily choose my own length with no need for extensions
It's good to know it will be easy to replace the battery if that's ever needed. Still so much better than swapping AAs over every week or so like the Wiimote!
I've only tried out the demo for the time being, but I really liked Disc Golf. It felt very responsive, perhaps more so than Wii Sports Resort.
Table Tennis is really good too, the Move's impressive one-to-one movement really shines here. I found this quite difficult to master however, because it was so realistic.
Sports Champs is a no-brainer, like Wii Sports I bet this is one of the best ways of showing off what the tech is capable of. I'm looking forward to checking this out soon.
I think paying a little extra for retrofitting Move controls to a game ain't the end of the world really. It's only going to be a small minority, future games will have it built in from day one if they're gonna do it.
As for Resi 5, the Move enabled disc is only £9.99 at HMV online so you might as well just flog the old one on eBay rather than pay for a patch!
I don't think the bright light thing is really gonna be too much of a problem in the home environment really. From all accounts Move seems much more accurate than Wiimote + MotionPlus and doesn't require reseting every 10 mins or so... should be a winner.
Bold words from our friends down under. I do think both Move and Kinect have the potential to be a huge success, but at the moment it's really up for grabs isn't it?
Both systems have great tech, so it's gonna come down to the quality of the games and how well they use the motion sensing wizardry on offer.

Nice review James!

Re: Sports Champions Grabs the Silver Medal in UK Charts
That's fairly impressive, any game was gonna struggle when going toe to toe with Halo Reach and it's massive marketing budget!
Re: Sony says Thanks for the Extra Coverage, Kinect
We appreciate your frankness Doc! Welcome to Movemodo

Yeah yaybuttons was a good laugh, Sony's marketing team seem to be having a whale of a time with this tongue in cheek stuff!
Re: Richard Marks Dreams of a Gory Zombie Game on Move
Something like Dead Rising using Move would be awesome. In fact, why not just do that! Capcom are you listening?
Re: Features: Why Not Create a Fitness RPG?
Interesting idea James but RPG fans are a lethargic lot aren't they? Surely they would recent having to do some exercise to level up! haha

I loved Oddworld on the PS1, I'll be all over this when it comes out. Hope Abe still farts thou
Re: Digital Foundry Gives its Verdict on PlayStation Move
Oh no, it won't be as good for dance and fitness titles as Kinect!
+1 for Move then really
Re: Features: Five Games We Don't Need to See on Move
@Hyper Knuckles Oh yeah imagine all the WiiWare ports we could get! Pong Toss would be top on my list of stuff to avoid
Re: Hands On: High Lighting Our Move Concerns
I don't think the bright light thing is really gonna be too much of a problem in the home environment really. From all accounts Move seems much more accurate than Wiimote + MotionPlus and doesn't require reseting every 10 mins or so... should be a winner.
Re: Latest Kevin Butler Ad Shows Our Most-Wanted Move Add-On: Vikings
Loving teh Butler... the bit at the end with the fire is awesome!

Re: Be Michael Jordan with Move Support in NBA 2K11
Are those actually screenshots from the game? It looks ridiculously lifelike!
Re: Sony Expects Slow Move Sales at Launch, Word of Mouth Crucial

Re: These Sports Victory Accessories May Not Guarantee Sporting Victories
@Stuffgamer1 - Blame Hyperkin, it's not Sony producing this rubbish
Re: These Sports Victory Accessories May Not Guarantee Sporting Victories
That archery bow looks like a Klingon weapon! haha
Re: Ongoing Confusion Surrounds PlayStation Move's Launch Date
You should know by now - I'm always right!
Well at least most of the time! hehe
Re: Features: Five Games We Need to See on Move
Everybody's Golf (Hot Shots Golf) with Move support is surely only a matter of time. I would buy that for a dollar!
Re: BlitzTech Gets Boosted with Full Kinect and Move Support
Any House of the Dead game for the Move would be awesome. Make it so Blitz, make it so!
Re: Witness PlayStation Move's Origins on PlayStation 2
Wow next we'll be hearing that the PSP was originally gonna be in THREE DEE!
Re: Disaster Report 4 To Feature PS Move Support
This could be quite interesting. You can't beat some unintentionally hilarious voiceovers in low budget Jap conversion style can ya?
Re: It's the North American PlayStation Move Launch Extravaganza
@turtlelink Those aren't color choices my friend. The ball changes color when needed so the camera can detect it!
Re: Ongoing Confusion Surrounds PlayStation Move's Launch Date
It's gonna be the 17th for Euro land. Stuff always gets released on a Friday - Wednesday would be unheard of!
Re: Features: Five Games We Need to See on Move
Oh yeah, House of the Dead series is a no-brainer. That would be perfect to play with Move + the gun add-on thingy.
I'd like to see God of War III get patched for Move. That would be a winner!

Yay we're live baby!!!
