| Sorcery’s back – and it looks magical | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 15th, 2011 | If there’s one single game that made me buy a PlayStation Move kit, its Sorcery; a better Harry Potter game than the actual Harry Potter games. It was shown off at E3 in 2010, blew people’s minds, and then pretty much disappeared. Well it’s back with a dash of revengeance. Sony’s sent out a press release not only reminding us ... [»] |

| The world’s most pointless gaming peripheral? | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 9th, 2011 | I’ve long been admonishing the needless peripherals that started gaining retail prominence since Nintendo’s Wii forced motion control on gamers. Now that Microsoft and Sony have boarded the waggle-train, all sorts of stupid plastic plastic crap is taking up space on store shelves.This latest perfunctory piece from CTA digital, the company behind the absurd inflatable Wii Kart is special.It’s a Kinect-compatible steering wheel, for people who like imprecisely controlled racing games and are completely devoid of the ...

| A videogame controlled by kissing | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 22nd, 2011 | Motion controls are all the rage right now, primarily thanks to Nintendo’s market-dominating Wii and metoo follow-ups by Microsoft and Sony. Imagine a game controlled not through the motion of your arms, wrists or even your whole body – but rather one controlled by your lips and tongue.Thanks to artist Hye Yeon Nam, that’s now a reality. For reasons known only to her, and possibly ... [»] |

| Video demonstration of the new Kinect Hub | 
Gavin Mannion - June 24th, 2010 | One of my biggest disappointments with E3 this year is that I never got any hands on time with the Kinect voice and motion controlled hub.

Zipper Interactive’s recently announced Socom 4 for the PS3 will have full Move support – but it raises the question of whether motion control is a suitable input method for what’s a pretty core online shooter.

| Pachter : I may have been wrong about that Natal Price | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 26th, 2010 | Michael Pachter, the analyst who’s increasingly getting pretty much everything – other than the bleedin’ obvious – wrong lately has retracted previous comments about Natal’s price. In an interview with Industry Gamers, the professional guesser has admitted he may have been wrong about his assumed price for Microsoft’s controlerless wagglemachine.
