Features Why Not Create a Fitness RPG?
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...

News Final Fantasy Boss says Move is Awkward for RPGs
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...

News Don't Expect Motion-Controlled Castlevania on Move
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.

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

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 Oddworld Returning to PlayStation with Move-Enhanced Stranger's Wrath

News Latest Kevin Butler Ad Shows Our Most-Wanted Move Add-On: Vikings
Motion gaming "not just for kids", apparently

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.

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

News Virtua Tennis 4's 3D Button-Free Play is a Frightening Glimpse of the Future
3D motion control is the way forward
Sega's Virtua Tennis series is the longest-running rendition of the sport, having been going since the days of the much-missed Dreamcast, and it's come a long way since those zombie-like characters skulked up and down grass courts. Virtua Tennis 4 is the next instalment in the series, and has enough features to...
News Konami Bringing Travis Touchdown to PlayStation Move
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. Suda51's homage to punk, trashy TV and laser katana-wielding assassins fell foul of some of the Wii's limitations, but the forthcoming PlayStation 3 version of the game will combine the...

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories proved to me that survival horror benefits from motion control better than most other genres
The game placed you in a particularly threat-free world; opting instead to create tension through interaction and atmosphere. Simply moving your flashlight across the game's eerily dark setting was enough to place you in the...
News GiantBomb Takes A Quick Look At John Daly's ProStroke Golf With PlayStation Move
Beneath the weird shadows and low production values, there's something reassuring about this GiantBomb Quick Look

First Impressions RUSE on PlayStation 3 Demo
The real time strategy genre on consoles has proved a tough nut to crack
It's hard to pick out a particularly memorable console strategy game that's compared favourably to its PC counter-part. Typically that's down to the interface, which suits the mouse and keyboard much better than a dual analogue stick set-up. With RUSE and PlayStation Move...
News Sony Expecting Modest Day One For Move, Longevity
One thing we've always defended about the PlayStation Move is how it's going to fare commercially this Christmas
