Get ready to Move. Sony style!!



So by now if ur a gamer, u have heard of Sony newest peripheral, the Move. Personally I'm not impressed with anything that resembles a Wii controller, but maybe I'm being to hard on Nintendo, the Wii was revolutionary in its own right. Anyway, so the Move is set to drop in the fall and so far, there r no solid looking launch titles to be heard of.

"Sony’s motion controller is called PlayStation Move and will be released this fall, the gamemaker said  Wednesday. Whether any killer app games will be released with it is still in question. At a lavish press briefing taking place a few blocks away from the Game Developers Conference, Sony revealed the final name and specifications of Move, which it first showed off at last year’s E3 Expo.The controller itself is almost exactly like the Wii remote, although Sony says it’s more precise: PlayStation Eye, the camera peripheral that Sony has already released, sits near your television and tracks a glowing plastic ball on top of the controller. This allows it to track the controller’s movements. Sony says the primary advantage of the controller’s precision will be that hard-core gamers will embrace Move even if they don’t think Wii is accurate enough.“We are bringing consumers what they have been asking for: A more precise, immersive and responsive real-world gaming experience,” said Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony’s worldwide game development studios, during the presentation. “The types of games we can make with it are amazingly diverse…. It has the potential to breathe new life into many established game genres.” the potential to breathe new life into many established game genres.” Having said that, the games Sony showed off were largely cribbed from Wii’s playlist: table tennis, bowling, golf, archery, etc. Most of these are included in a single game tentatively called Champion Sports."

Hopefully we can expect a bundle of the Move and the eyetoy.
