Jeff Cannata coined a phrase on the Weekend Confirmed podcast that will probably stick with me for as long as I write about entertainment products

Desperately struggling to balance his positive opinion of Square Enix's Nier against the game's catalogue of flaws, Cannata concluded that the title is "more fun than it is good". It's a simplistic, almost ambiguous phrase, but ever since the..

We go hunting for answers

Dungeon Hunter: Alliance launched on the European PlayStation Store today, and we sat down with the game's product manager Sane Lebrun for a spot of Q&A. Movemodo: Firstly, please introduce yourself and your role in Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. Sane Lebrun: My name is Sane Lebrun and I’ve been a Product Manager at...

Packed to the brim with charm, and a whole lot of guns!

PlayStation Move Heroes is now readily available on store shelves, and the time has finally come to travel the galaxies in search of our final two heroes: Ratchet and Clank. In December 2002 Insomniac Games released Ratchet and Clank for the PS2, starting a long-running franchise that has found...

This week the PSP reclaimed its crown at the top of the domestic hardware sales charts in Japan, despite Nintendo's 3DS releasing just a month ago

Numbers for Nintendo's systm were also disappointing across Europe, with exact figures in North America seemingly hush-hush. It's worth stressing that the 3DS represents Nintendo's best ever launch, but with its predecessor exceeding the lofty..

It's been a while, friends

There's been a lot of great games, some huge announcements (good grief, the NGP!) and a lot of familiar sentiments around the online gaming community since I left you. One thing that's really been yanking on my metaphorical chain is the idea that all game franchises should be multiplatform. For me system exclusives are what define the entire ethos of a platform. Take that..

Our character is huddled over a group of feral kittens, desperately trying to prompt a response from the litter

The homeless people that appealed for our help tell our character that they think the animals may be injured, and have attempted to tame them without success. Our character tries to reason with the animals, making recognisable "miaow" sounds, which appear to work. The kittens..

The lighter side of Naughty Dog

PlayStation Move Heroes is now upon us, and we've previously taken a look into the sneaky heroes that are Sly Cooper and Bentley, but now it’s time to head back into Sony’s past to take an inside look at another of PlayStations greatest series – Jak and Daxter. Come with us as well delve into the wacky world of...

Can you go back to twin sticks?

There's been plenty of praise given to Killzone 3's PlayStation Move controls: precise and engaging, they help to take Guerilla Games' sci-fi shooter into the upper reaches of PlayStation 3 titles. Having spent major time with both control methods here at Movemodo, there's no doubt which scheme has the upper hand when...

The Sneakiest Heroes on the Move

PlayStation Move Heroes is a fully Move enabled game featuring a collection of characters from a few of Sony’s top franchises. This is the first time these characters have been featured together in the same game, and what better way could there be to bring them all together than with PlayStation Move. Who exactly...

To put it as simply as the game itself, Pix'n Love Rush is easily one of the best PlayStation Minis available

Sometimes the best things in life also happen to be the most simple. Fish and chips on a soggy park-bench is hardly avant-garde dining, but its hard to beat. In a similar regard, Sanuk Games' quirky platformer, Pix'n Love Rush, is an unambitious treat. The former iOS darling is now..

"When was the last time you pressed Square to shoot," we asked rhetorically in response to the opening stages of Yakuza: Of The End's Japanese demo

"Erm. Fade To Black," came the unnecessary response. "Exactly," we said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Fade To Black is a PSone game." The proposed point being that Japanese developers continue to ignore the trends of modern..

Sports Champions just doesn't get enough credit

Its art-style might be as flat as a pancake, but some of the package's mini-games come closer to true simulation than sports franchise's that have been iterated upon for years. The reason behind its success is the PlayStation Move, which is a wildly responsive unit when used in the right regard. It may have been a launch-title for Sony's motion unit,..

Talking beats, bangs, booms and NGP

As Move-enabled shooter/pinball/object-collecting game StarDrone arrived on PlayStation Network in Europe today, we grabbed an in-depth interview with the double team of Orb Games and Beatshapers, who discuss the process in converting the original PC title to Move, the companies' futures on Move and more...

As we're sprinting through the tropical corridors of Killzone 3's 'Kaznan Jungle' map, we can't help but acknowledge the sense that things have changed for the better

The changes won't please everyone, but they're enough to engage us on a level Killzone 2 never could. We pirouette on the upper-tiers of the map. Blue lights. We snap down into the sights of our light machine-gun and unload a dozen..

Dropping like a ninja as part of today's PlayStation Store update is a "Fitness Pack" extension for Sony's motion brawler, The Fight

If, like us, you've spent the past few months using The Fight as a substitute for a gym membership, you might be interested to learn that the Fitness Pack includes a number of new training methods to help target your punching, endurance and overall cardio. Split into..

Kill the competition

PlayStation Move has now seen its controls implemented into a few FPS games such as MAG and Modern Combat: Domination (ModComDom) with good overall results. The Killzone 3 Beta is available now through the PlayStation Store with spot-on Move integration, and we at Movemodo want to help our readers out with our very own pro-tip...

To celebrate the permanent price reduction of Grip Games' PlayStation Mini, Blimp: The Flying Adventures, we've got ten copies of the surprisingly addictive blimp-em-up to give away

We described the game — which is now available for $1.99 / €1.99 from the PlayStation Store — as "a fun little Mini, built around a strong physics driven gameplay mechanic" when we reviewed it back in..

Sneaky sneaky

The Sly Collection is a compendium of three of the best-loved PlayStation 2 adventure platform games, with some additional PlayStation Move minigames too. To find out more about how the three titles made their journey to PS3, we sat down with Glen Egan, President of Sanzaru Games, to talk Move, minigames and shiny, shiny trophies...

We go mining for information

Yesterday we brought you new Dungeon Defenders screenshots with the promise of an exclusive interview letting you know more about this upcoming PlayStation Network title. We recently interviewed Trendy Entertainment's Philip Asher about what players can expect from this colourful dungeon crawler. Movemodo: Firstly,...

We never enjoyed Killzone 2's multiplayer

We tried. We really tried. But after 25 hours of gameplay it never really clicked for us. The hefty controls made the gameplay too slow; before long we found ourselves itching for something a little less gritty. We appreciate what Guerrilla did with Killzone 2, and we know there are plenty of people that loved it, but it just wasn't for us. Killzone 3, on..

PushSquare editor Sammy Barker follows up his original reaction to the NGP with discussion on why PlayStation Suite is the overlooked ace in Sony's portable gaming strategy

</em> I've had a few days to analyse the reaction to Sony's NGP announcement this week, and I've been overwhelmed by how much positivity I've read. People seem to get it. The PSP never quite delivered on the "portable..

It probably got slightly overlooked in the carnage of this morning's Next Generation Portable announcement, but Sony announced a new Uncharted game this morning

The game's set to be a fresh spin-off of the Uncharted franchise (not a port) and is in development at Sony Bend. (Told you so.) We've been lead to believe that Naughty Dog are overlooking the project. Seeing as Bend are Sony's premier..

PushSquare editor Sammy Barker delivers his first reaction to Sony's new handheld announcement, the Next Generation Portable

I often feel like I'm the only person in the world not caught up in the iOS hype hurricane. I think Apple's devices are fantastic pieces of kit, but as gaming systems they don't come anywhere near meeting the kind of expectations I hold. The games media wants me to think..

PushSquare editor Sammy Barker jumps into the gigantic world of PlayStation 3 MMO DC Universe Online

This on-going feature serves as an evolving review of the game, complete with personal anecdotes and opinion. For more editions of Going Through The MMOtions, click here.</em> As an MMO newcomer, I'm starting to appreciate that the beauty of these games (or certainly DC Universe Online in..
