We've given the Playstation Motion Controller a fair amount of thought recently
When the hell are Sony going to have their big reveal for the peripheral? It's due out in Spring, which would be ahead of E3, and assuming it hits shelves later than suggested, if it's still coming this year Sony have to blow the doors off soon. Surely? Well hey, guess...

News NowGamer Score Final Fantasy XIII A, Well, 7.9/10
Sure, we don't like posting about other site's reviews
Review is opinion and all that. But when you have one of the first English language reviews of Final Fantasy XIII, it's certainly worth sharing. And, sadly the review echoes many of thoughts filtering out of Japan over the past few weeks: Final Fantasy XIII is pretty good, but not as great as...
