We seem to have turned into "early adopters" in our house - for the PlayStation Move controller is the latest item to have joined our collection of new technology, it's Sony's answer to the Wii controller - it enables you, the gamer to control the game you are playing with your movements. In order to use the PlayStation Move you will need to have an Eye Camera, you can either buy the controller and camera as a bundle or purchase the controller separately - it's around £30. This is early days for this controller - so is it any good? First things first - there's no getting past the fact that this wireless controller complete with colour ...  Read the complete review

Despite the belief that Playstation attempted to have a dabble at the motion control games market after seeing the success of Nintendo's Wii console and Microsoft's XBox Kinect, it's a forgotten known fact that Sony was the first group to introduce the motion control genre back in 2003, well before Nintendo and Microsoft did so, by introducing the EyeToy, a camera compatible with the Playstation 2, in where the player used their body to control the action. In late 2010, Sony released the Move as direct competition to Nintendo and Microsoft. Unlike the EyeToy, where the body was the controller, Sony changed the formula and made an actual controller, much like the Wii ...  Read the complete review

Playstation Move is Sony's attempt at stealing some of the motion controlling market from Nintendo and their Wii console. The first thing to note is that to make use of this controller, you will need a PlayStation Eye that retails for about £25 online or as part of a package with this controller for between £40 and £45.

Although I had issues initially with setting up the camera, after trying a few angles and adjusting lighting, it now works beautifully. The controller itself feels incredible well made with a high build quality. ...  Read the complete review

I have only played the video game 'Sports Champions' with the Move controller, but i liked what i was seeing. The accuracy is far greater than that of the Wiimote, that i could tell from just the main menu. I entered the gladiator game, and had a go with that, you can do all sorts of moves with your controller, you can slash, stab and do pretty much any other move that your capable of, the harder you swing the move controller, the harder you will hit your opponent, if you knock them over, you can lift the move controller up and swing it forwards crashing down on them, its almost as if your doing it yourself, although thats possibly not a good ...  Read the complete review

I have had my Playstation 3 since launch day and have a tendency to jump at any new pieces of hardware that are released for it within days of them coming out. The new eye toy, the Dual shock 2, the PS3 slim...all where in my living room within days of coming out. The Playstation Move however had me in two minds. In my household I have MY playstation for MY gaming needs if you get my drift. For serious games I go to Sony. However, we also have a Wii which gets used much more and is more of a family, casual approach to gaming. Now you can see how the Move caught me in something of a dilemma! If nothing else it was the price of the thing that really got me ...  Read the complete review
