Sony's newest motion controller, called the PlayStation Move, isn't much to look at but its precision blew us away. Looking like two ice cream cones, the Playstation Move was demonstrated at the 2010 Games Developer Conference.
"A more precise, immersive, and responsive game experience" - SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida
Sony Playstation Move demonstrates its gaming capabilities
The PS Move showed us its 'moves' over a wide range of games:
First up was a friendly game of table tennis, where the Playstation Move showed us it accurate recognition of subtle wrist movements and its ability to call the differences between a backhand and a power smash. We couldn't quite figure out what gesture spinned the ball but saw it occurring frequently.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
lulz
How are they managing to review tech that still in pre-alpha? What on earth.
