Sony recently came out with their competitor to the Wii, Playstation Move. Dumb name, but the product itself is not very dumb at all. It’s surprisingly accurate thanks to tons of sensors built into the controller, but the biggest reason for its accuracy: the Playstation Eye camera which watches a round rubber ball on the end of the controller. Based on the conditions in your room, this ball may be a different color in order to differentiate it from the rest of your room’s surroundings. Even without the camera based tracking, it’s surprisingly accurate.

The hardware is nice, but are the games there yet? Well, not quite. There’s Sports Champions, which is a pretty good Wii Sports ripoff with some nice use of the Move technology, Start the Party which has some amazing augmented reality, but not much else, and some others. However, the best titles out right now are Tumble (a $10 download that’s kinda like Jenga), Eyepet (an amazingly cute virtual pet), Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, and Heavy Rain. Kung Fu Rider looks neat too, but not worth the $40 their asking for it.

So, should you get it? Maybe. There’s some good stuff coming out soon like The Fight, Echochrome 2, Killzone 3, Dead Space 2, Dead Space Extraction, MAG, and Socom 4. So, if you don’t have interest in it now, just wait until something you want comes out.

If you’re a guy that likes video games, then you need to check out Red Dead Redemption. It’s so amazingly fun, it’s like playing the star role in a great western movie. If you’ve played any of the Grand Theft Auto games, you’ll feel right at home in this because it’s a lot of the same premise and gameplay, but this time in the old west. However, there’s so much more to it! Definitely check it out, but be prepared to lose many many hours to it.
