Features Five Games We Don't Need to See on Move
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.

News Sony Expects Slow Move Sales at Launch, Word of Mouth Crucial
New peripheral to take a long tail approach

Punk's not dead
The original No More Heroes on Nintendo Wii was a highly original but equally flawed game that never really found its audience on the machine.
