| | Orb 2-in-1 Universal mount for Kinect and PlayStation move review – Stand by me | Geoffrey Tim - January 30th, 2012 | If you’re anything like me, you’ve got all sorts of controllers, cameras and needless accessories situated on, or around your TV. Thanks to the proliferation of motion-controlled gaming, it’s worse than ever. I’ve got a Wii sensor bar, a PlayStation Eye and a Kinect unit all vying for space where there isn;t any - so where do you put ‘em all? Orb’s universal 2-in-1 stand for the Kinect and PlayStation Move tries to solve that problem. Kinect, unlike the ... [»] |

| Puss in Boots review – A fine family-friendly furrytail | Geoffrey Tim - December 12th, 2011 | There’s an unwritten rule in game development; if you’re tasked with creating a game that’s tied to a blockbuster movie - particularly a movie aimed at younger audiences - you have to go out of your way to make a game that’s dull, lazy and only loosely tied to your source material. It’s been that way since ET for the Atari 2600, largely ... [»] |

| Sony aiming the PS3 at families next year | Geoffrey Tim - December 6th, 2011 | The PlayStation 3 is a core games machine for core gamers. At least it is right now. Though it has its fair share of family oriented games, it’s managed to shirk off being labelled as a kiddies machine. That may change next year, as it seems Sony plans to focus on families and younger gamers in 2012."You will probably see us taking the console more towards a slightly younger demographic - ... [»] |

| Dance games are the new Guitar Hero | Geoffrey Tim - November 30th, 2011 | Guitar Hero is essentially dead. People, for some reason, got really tired of plastic instrument-based music rhythm games and sales of the games and their associated peripherals dwindled down to pretty much nothing. Even the rather superb Rock Band 3 sold less than 5000 copies on all formats at launch. Maybe it’s because of all the instruments, because peripheral-free Dance and fitness Games have proven that people still want music based ... [»] |

| Carnival Island Reviewed–That makes no sense | Gavin Mannion - November 22nd, 2011 | A little while back Sony was kind enough to send us a whole pile of Move titles that are being pushed for this holiday season and we’re going to try and get the reviews out for all these titles in the next week or so.
These reviews are going to be shorter than normal simply because most of ... [»] |

| Is Metal Gear Solid : Rising in trouble? | Geoffrey Tim - November 17th, 2011 | It was announced and shown off at E3 all the way back in 2009, but things have been very quiet on the MGS: Rising front since then. Could the relative silence signal trouble? Possibly, as Kojima Productions has confirmed - translated by Andriasang - that the game’s producer has stepped down.Former producer Shigenobu Matsuyama has moved on to another division within ...

| Ninja Gaiden developers prefer Move over Kinect | Darryn Bonthuys - October 6th, 2011 | The upcoming ultra-violent Ninja Gaiden 3 is shaping up nicely, blending unbelievable carnage with super cool shinobi skills. Team Ninja has already confirmed that the PS3 version will feature move functionality, meaning that we’ll actually get to go through the motions of swinging a blade on a hapless henchman, but as for the Xbox 360?
Looks like the Kinect ... [»] |

| House of the Dead Overkill | Gavin Mannion - September 12th, 2011 | I’ve had the PS Move for a couple of months now and it has so far been the biggest waste of time ever. Granted the review titles I’ve received for it have been so far below par it’s not funny but still I thought someone would have released a decent on ... [»] |

| So when’s that PlayStation 4 coming? | Geoffrey Tim - August 23rd, 2011 | Industry rumours persist that both Microsoft and Sony are hard at work doing the necessary research and development of their next consoles - and it’s likely that they are. Not at least planning a new console at this late stage in the generational cycle would be tantamount to suicide. so they’re working on it? But when will Sony consider releasing a PlayStation successor?"Looking at ... [»] |

| Is the PlayStation 4 going to have Kinect-like motion-sensing? | Geoffrey Tim - July 4th, 2011 | Many have labelled motion-based gaming as a fad – but it’s something that just doesn’t seem to abating at all. It mostly started with Nintendo’s Wii – but now Sony and Microsoft have motion-sensing peripherals and camera’s. The 3DS, smartphones and even Sony’s imminent PlayStation Vita all include gyroscopes so their tilts and turns can be translated to ... [»] |

| Whatever happened to Sorcery? | Gavin Mannion - June 28th, 2011 | Remember way back in E3 2010, which is an eternity in the video game world, we saw the PlayStation Move being used to great effect in a magical title called Sorcery? At the time it was one of my favourite titles of E3 and was one of the ... [»] |

| E3 2011 Press conference round-up: Sony | Ian Felmore - June 7th, 2011 | As a certified and proud PS3 fanboy, two things have been on my mind since I popped my proverbial E3 cherry. In what manner would Sony apologies for the PSN breach, and would the NGP be everything we want it to be? Two question that for me, if answered in the wrong way, could ruin a potentially outstanding conference.After a somewhat boring ... [»] |

| There’s a new Batman game, only it’s not a Batman game… | Geoffrey Tim - May 17th, 2011 | Warner interactive announced yesterday at its (very) pre-E3 event that it’ll be bringing a new Batman game to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 soon. If you’re thinking “there’s no way another Batman game could live up to Arkham Asylum (and presumably, its soon to be released sequel Arkham City),†you’re probably right and Monolith, developers of this new ...
