Well, Move can draw better. Wii drawing is pointing, which can be hard, like drawing with a laser pointer (though pointer sensitivity options like in Red Steel 2 can make it feel very steady!). Move can have a mode where you're drawing as if you're touching an invisible flat surface right in front of you, with that translating on screen. That is easier and more like proper drawing than pointing. Of course it's not like games need you to be an artist so I don't think that for most software that makes a tangible difference (it may even take the natural challenge out of games like Trauma Team for example, if used for them), and shooter games should use the pointing, not drawing mode, as that's more natural for shooting weapons and requires less motion out of you (wrist flicks as opposed to waving around), and is basically, at best (I still have doubts expressed before, I kinda feel their "pointing" is just "drawing" mode with high sensitivity, whcih may feel off and require bigger and more abstract movements) as good as Wii.

Unless a game is asking you to do joined up handwriting constantly through the whole game, Okami IR painting, hell, even Epic Mickey IR painting is good enough.

I agree I was just saying. I'm not gonna ignore Move's superiority in any aspect like Greg's ignoring Wii doing the same things he's now excited about in the SOCOM4 preview years ago.

More Old Republic CG. Probably the best part of the game, heh. Not as good as the first CG, kinda ridiculous.

I used to always pick Cameroon in that one ancient arcade game I can't remember its name. It had big defined sprites for the players and was side scrolling, not top scrolling like Sensible Soccer (which also rocked!). I thought it was called Kick Off but I can't find anything with that name so I guess I remembered wrong.

Was it because of Roger Miller?^

Xbox conference in 50 minutes. What do you want to see?

I want Rare to go back to making straight up platformers.

Wow that IGN article, Wii has been doing that for years. I am glad that the PS3 will finally have controls like that. I am all for the motion revolution when done right, you know with ACTUAL controllers.

Up to you.

EDGE online on Kinect
We therefore peg Your Shape: Fitness Evolved as the most convincing demonstration of Kinect’s potential. A tai chi/yoga game showed the player’s silhouette as she matched the motion of an on-screen teacher, dragging flowers behind her hands - this just isn’t possible with either Move or Wii, and the presentation seemed to nail the style which propelled Wii Fit to such success.

Why is it that forumers know more than games journalists?

Your Shape Wii came with the motion camera last year.

*facepalm*

Nice work setting up all the threads Vader.  But, don't you think DJ Hero 2 needs it's own thread?

There's going to be an endless stream of this kind of stuff. The wii will be pegged with all the "bad" control stuff and move or kinect will do all the "good" gameplay.

That and the SOCOM article shows how annoying this E3 will because of poorly informed journalists.

Neat looking Diablo clone for PSN.

Personally I've got my fill of such games on PC and after Torchlight I'll probably only get Diablo III whenever that arrives, but this looks like a good fit for console-only players who liked stuff like Dark Alliance.

Edit: oh, it's GameLoft. Proceed with caution. But at least it's not a mobile phone game port this time.

Quality is a bit shit there, isn't there a stream as good as GT's?  GT doesn't work for me now.

Edit: it's on youtube too, this may be nicer. If it doesn't get overloaded.
