Trophies hints at further raccoon adventures
The Sly Collection is a HD, 3D-enabled, Move-compatible collection of Sly Cooper's three PS2 adventures, but what we all really want is a brand new adventure for Thievius Raccoonus. The good news is that the collection's trophies hint at a possible future return for Cooper's clan.
Like Castlevania, only Spanish
Here's a WiiWare game you can sink your teeth into: Ark of Sinners is a Castlevania-style 2D romp, mixing classic gameplay with modern graphics.
Chat with fellow fans of 360 motion
Now that Kinect is available in the US, with a European launch just days away, let us present to you the ideal area in which to discuss your hopes, dreams and experiences with Kinect: the KINECTaku forums!
You can imagine the tears
You'd think with no controller there'd be no chance of breaking your TV using Kinect: nothing to fly out of your hand, right? You'd be right but oh so wrong.
Practise your elbows and headbutts now
The Fight: Lights Out just landed in Europe with a North American release on Tuesday, but if you want to prepare yourself for the upcoming bout you might want to check out this video from Sony's official PlayStation blog.
Best displayed with a cheesy video
Video Kinect isn't just for linking two faraway Kinect-owning Xbox 360 players: it can also be used to video chat with computer users of Windows Live Messenger.
See where the money goes
You'd expect Kinect to be housing some serious technology, perhaps even an invisible wizard, and you'd be right (maybe not about the wizard), as website iFixit has torn a sensor to pieces for your study and curiosity.
Sensationalism balloon: deflating
We intentionally avoiding joining in the storm-in-a-teacup started by Gamespot's suggestion that Kinect struggled with dark-skinned users, but now the rumour has been disproved by Consumer Reports, the site that overcame a similar rumour about racist HP laptops last year.
Hoping to redress the imbalance
You need only look at our PlayStation Move games list to see that the lion's share of support for the controller is coming from Sony itself, with no fewer than 26 games either released or officially announced. Sony's line-up accounts for nearly half of the currently-known Move titles, but that's not always going to be the case, says Sony.
It'll have to go some way to top Kinect's New York launch party, but the UK's official celebration of all things Kinect kicks off on Tuesday night at Game's flagship Oxford Street store.
