Updated with launch titles!

Mainland Europe receives the Move on September 15th; Australia and New Zealand on September 16th; and the UK is the last of the bunch on September 17th. Your Move options: PlayStation 3 320GB Move Bundle (£284.99/€349.99) – Replacing the existing 250GB model in Europe, this 320GB machine comes with a PlayStation Eye...

When genres collide!

Recent comments by Yoshinori Kitase about the Move's unsuitability for RPG play due to masses of motion-controlled fighting over 40 or 50 hours of gameplay got us thinking here at Movemodo. Some games are marketed purely on the level of their physical exertion and its benefits – Zumba Fitness will no doubt fit into this...

Telekinesis and axes in Dr Marks's ideal game

Blood-letting zombiefest Left 4 Dead missed the PlayStation 3, but Sony's R&D whiz Dr Richard Marks has described his ideal undead experience for PlayStation Move and it makes quite exciting, if unsettling, reading. In an interview with C&VG, Dr Marks went into some detail about a game where...

But could be used in future Square Enix titles

We've already made our case for why certain Western RPGs wouldn't work with Move, but Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase believes that Japanese RPGs aren't a great fit for Move, either. Speaking to Eurogamer, Kitase explained why Move is an "awkward" fit for the genre: an RPG, you have to...

Just in case you don't buy the disc

Whilst Movers on the West side of the Atlantic Ocean get a copy of Sports Champions and a Move demo disc in their starter packs, European gamers only get the demos on a so-called "Starter Disc". But wherever you live, what if you already have the camera and just want to buy the Move separately – won't...

See what it can do

Last week we brought you a look at the PlayStation Move's origins on PlayStation 2 in the form of some early tech demos, but now we have a collection of bang up-to-date demos showing how far the technology's come in six years. As well as an updated form of the original sorcery demo showing the extra range of control afforded by...

Move cannot do whips or other objects

Move is a versatile piece of kit, with titles lined up that turn the plastic into everything from a beam katana to a lasso, but it seems it has its limitations. Sony recently held a press conference in Japan to explain the controller in more depth, detailing its ability to portray pens, torches, nets and...

Will controls be fair for both?

With the recent confirmation that Killzone 3 will support the Move controller in online play as well as offline, discussion naturally arose about whether gamers using the super-precise motion controller will have an advantage or disadvantage when playing against opponents using dual analogue controls. Steven Ter Heide...

Let your virtual you have a look

There are already some pretty oddball ways to interact in PlayStation Home, but dressing up as a PlayStation Move controller to take part in team tasks probably takes the biscuit. Move's dedicated space opened up in PlayStation Home this week, letting you learn more about the peripheral through your PS3 – though,...

We get to grips with Move and experience "technical difficulties"

Yesterday we had our first opportunity to go hands-on with the Move controller, and our feelings were mixed about the experience. The Good: Navigating the PS3's CrossMediaBar menu with the Move is intuitive and very pleasing: the controller picks up sweeps and swipes to pass through...

Begone, foul beasts!

Unlike other platform holders, Sony has a concept approval process, meaning a game has to receive a thumbs-up from Sony before it can go into development for a PlayStation platform. Although this should limit the amount of low quality titles released for the company's consoles, the odd one or two still sneaks through the net...

Eurogamer team impressed by add-on

Digital Foundry, Eurogamer's crack team of technology experts, has been testing Move to see how it stacks up against other motion controllers. The result? A very positive write-up and plenty of fascinating history of the device, including some of the information we brought you in our recent Witness PlayStation...

Title heading to PS Network

It's been a long old time since an Oddworld game appeared on a PlayStation format – the last time was Abe's Exoddus on PSOne in 1998, fact fans – with the last de facto title in the series released on Xbox in 2005. Now the series is returning to its spiritual home, with Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath heading to...

First-person monkey catching on the Move

The first Ape Escape game for PlayStation One innovated with its dual analogue controls, and was one of the first games to use the DualShock pad to its full potential. Sony's upcoming simian sequel Ape Escape Fury Fury is also set to lead with unusual controls, using the Move to simulate a net as you play a...

Motion gaming "not just for kids", apparently

Kevin Butler, Sony's made-up mouthpiece for everything PlayStation, is uncharacteristically quiet in this latest advert for PlayStation Move, presumably preferring to let the games speak for themselves. Aiming to convince core gamers that motion controls are for grown-ups too, it takes in everything from...

Aussie experts are putting all of their eggs in Sony's basket

While many industry experts elsewhere are willing to admit that the jury is still out on which of the new motion control formats - Sony's Move and Microsoft's Kinect - will emerge victorious during the upcoming holiday season, Australian video games retailer Gametraders has declared that...

Well, not really, but you get the picture

If you've always wanted to be Michael Jordan but don't have the money, talent or advertising pull, perhaps it's time you dialled your expectations down a little and thought about a Michael Jordan simulator. The upcoming NBA 2K11 should fill those Nike shoes quite comfortably, with Move support promising to...

New peripheral to take a long tail approach

Although Sony has compared the Move launch to a new platform release, it's not expecting the first week figures to match those of a new console launch. Ray Maguire, Sony Computer Entertainment UK's Managing Director, doesn't think the initial sales will be massive but that momentum will grow as players get...

Two-dozen pods available for maximum Helghast chaos

It's 3D, it includes Move support and it's swarming with Helghast troops: it can only be Guerilla Games' Killzone 3, one of the PlayStation 3's most anticipated games of 2011. If you're on your way to PAX 2010 in Seattle this weekend, make a beeline for the Killzone 3 stand as the game is fully...
