Just a normal night in for us

Having released Start the Party to mixed reviews, Supermassive Games has higher hopes for its sequel: it reckons it might be able to save our planet. Start the Party: Save the World was officially announced at Gamescom last week, and we have the first trailer below showing more of the augmented reality motion controlled...

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,...

A shift of perspective

When Silent Hill: Book of Memories was first announced, the only thing Konami revealed about the game was its title and that it was not a port. Die-hard Silent Hill fans rejoiced, as they were getting a dedicated new entry in the series built from the ground up. Then they found out it was multiplayer. Some Silent Hill...

Jump on in

Gravity Rush, previously known as Gravity Daze, is a PS Vita exclusive from Japan Studio, the devs that gave us such portable classics as Locoroco and Patapon. The game has a surreal, cel-shaded look that favors flair over realism, and gameplay revolves around a gravity manipulation mechanic that has the female protagonist jumping and...

Turn the lights low

No, it's not a new We Dare trilogy: Sony's putting three Move-controlled sports titles onto one Blu-ray disc and calling it After Hours Athletes. The trio comprises PSN titles Hustle Kings, High Velocity Bowling and Top Darts, complete with all their downloadable content too. Rather like puzzle pack Move Mind Benders there's no...

Best of all, it's got Lemmings

Some of Move's best content is available on the PlayStation Store, but what about those PS3 owners who aren't able to get online: should they miss out on the motion-controlled treats? Of course not. That's why Sony's preparing a pair of Blu-ray compilations, putting together the best Move has to offer. Move Mind...

Via Party app

Sony Europe's R&D Manager Phil Rogers has confirmed that the PlayStation Vita will allow users to text and voice chat with friends via the system's Party app, even if they are playing different games or using different applications. Cross-game voice chat, it's there and it's on Vita. Party lets up to four users band together to...

Say hello to your new protagonist

The PlayStation Blog has posted a brand new video hands-on for Resistance: Burning Skies, along with an interview with Rob Heubner from developer Nihilistic. The video showcases some of the new touch screen features of the title, like locking onto multiple enemy targets with the swipe of a finger or issuing a melee...

Captured for your pleasure

Sony has got an all-new game for the PS Vita straight out of Gamescom, and by the looks of it, Escape Plan is one of the more stylised and puzzling titles making its way to the system. The game has players guiding two differently proportioned protagonists, Lil and Laarg, through a variety of dangerous rooms. Players use...

Time to start a gang

Sony already introduced us to Reality Fighter, its first-party augmented reality game for PS Vita, but now they are taking to the streets to give us Tag, a graffiti-sim title that lets you "tag" real world environments using the system's camera. Basically you design a tag using the touch screen, save it, and then go...

More RAM than PS3!

Shooting down previous rumours that the PS Vita RAM was reduced to 256MB to accommodate a lower launch price, Sony has confirmed that the system will indeed sport 512MB of RAM. These were the original numbers thought to be packed into the system back when it was called the NGP, and places the handheld above PlayStation 3's 256MB...

Video inside

It's been a long wait for the LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack, but it's nearly upon us with release set for next month. Sony featured the add-on as part of its Gamescom 2011 presentation, with the video below hopefully answering some questions about what exactly comes in the package. Are you looking forward to putting the Move controls...

Looks ace

SEGA's preparing to continue its rally with tennis games on portable PlayStations: PSP received Virtua Tennis World Tour and Virtua Tennis 3, and next year we'll see Virtua Tennis 4 come to PlayStation Vita. As you can see from the fresh set of new screenshots and trailer below, the game is shaping up very nicely indeed, with a strange...

Move over Greater Fiend

It’s has been rumoured here at Movemodo for quite some time, but an unexpected email from Tecmo Koei stealthily slipped into our email inboxes today and confirmed that the upcoming release of Ninja Gaiden 3 will release with full PlayStation Move support. Team NINJA’s leader Yosuke Hayashi stated: NINJA GAIDEN 3 is all...

Alert to all independent developers

Gamescom 2011 has been crucial for Vita, with new game announcements and info on some of the games we already knew about. While most of this news has been aimed at the consumers, a segment of news we’ve come across is just as great for independent developers as it is for consumers. SCEE’s George Bain spoke...

Sony steps up

While the announcement of Move Fitness was a surprise to some, it really shouldn't be: Sony's lack of a fitness title has meant it's missed out on a lucrative market for PlayStation Move, but that will change later this year. Here's the official Gamescom trailer showing you just how much fun fitness can be when you've got PlayStation...

Plus four more titles

Ubisoft confirmed today that it is bringing a total of six more games to the PlayStation Vita. The titles include a portable port of its upcoming Rayman Origins game, an Asphalt game, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance and a Vita version of Michael Jackson: The Experience. Most interesting is the confirmation of Assassin's Creed, and an...
