News TGS 10: Gran Turismo 5 Adds Dynamic Weather To Its Arsenal
Gran Turismo 5 keeps getting better
It's almost like Polyphony Digital can't stop adding features. In all honesty, this game could end up being the most complete package ever made.

Brace yourself; this trailer for the upcoming PlayStation Move Ape Escape game is packed with smiles and overwhelming happiness

News SingStar: Dance Gets You Jiving To Ricky Martin
We've never danced to Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" before, and we never want to
But we suppose we're going to have to review SingStar: Dance, and that means we might actually have to. Oh motion controllers — this is the reason you're universally hated? Seriously though, SingStar: Dance does look like a neat party game. Obvious comparisons...

There's something weird about Project Dark, the next Demon's Souls-esque project coming out of From Software

News TGS 10: New The Last Guardian Shots Are Properly Gorgeous
Famitsu's released a new set of direct-feed shots from The Last Guardian

News Sony Norway the New "Oddest Move Advert" Frontrunners
An increasingly packed field

News We're Not Quite Sure What Sony Norway Were Smoking When They Cooked Up The MoveMen
We understand that in Europe Daft Punk and electro-disco culture is a big deal

News These Are The PlayStation Move Commercials You Can Expect To See In Europe
The SCEE commercials for PlayStation Move are pretty much what you'd expect

It comes with the PushSquare office seal of approval too; we really enjoyed it (and continue to do so). It's...
