Will have sold 500,000 Moves in UK by Christmas
With six days before Kinect for Xbox 360 lands in the UK, Sony has kicked off a high-profile advertising campaign for its own motion controller across the country.
500 Points for shopping fun
If you've always dreamed of running your own grocery shop – hey, it could happen – then you might be in luck soon. G5 Entertainment has just confirmed its multi-million selling iPod Touch title Supermarket Mania is on the way to DSiWare in Europe on Friday, November 19th for 500 Points.
Curiouser and curiouser...
Magic wand-wielder Sorcery is undoubtedly one of the most exciting titles on the way to Move, promising a completely accurate motion-based method of casting spells. Whilst some retailers have it listed for a release in the first three months of 2011, the official US PlayStation Blog recently posted up a list of games on the way to Move from late 2010 to 2011, and Sorcery is nowhere to be seen.
Limited stock of Headbangers nationwide
We've received numerous emails from worried Brits about the availability of PDP's upcoming Headbanger USB headset for Wii. Already available in North America, there's good news for gamers in the British Isles wanting to pick one up soon.
"Hybrid" games for pad exist too
The overwhelming message from Microsoft's multi-million pound advertising campaign for Kinect is "you are the controller", but the Xbox 360 pad is also a controller. Couldn't the two be combined? Yes, yes they could.
Is it, isn't it, is it, isn't it? Nobody's quite sure about whether Milo and Kate is ever going to materialise or not. Lionhead boss and Milo's dad Peter Molyneux said in August that he was working on the game in the hope it would be available to buy one day, but now father of Kinect Alex Kipman was gone the other way, saying "Milo was never announced as a game."
Are you getting excited?
If you're in North America, just a few short hours stand between you and owning your very own Kinect for Xbox 360.
"People like holding things"
You may already be aware that PlayStation Move started on PS2, but this nifty video from Dr Richard Marks and the team at Sony is a neat look back at the legacy of the original EyeToy. It also contains a few thinly-veiled digs at Microsoft's Kinect sensor as Dr Marks talks up the importance of buttons, precision and the fact people just naturally like holding things in their hands.
Tonight I played Kinect Adventures and Call of Duty: Black Ops. One was fantastically innovative, the other one was rubbish. Place bets now!
Good news, everyone
LostWinds and its sequel, LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias, have been two of WiiWare's most notable hits, so it's good to hear that David Braben's Frontier team is preparing to release more titles in the series
