The Week In Games

This week is all about Halo vs Move. MS vs Sony. Master Chief vs the wannabe waggler. Which one will you be lining up for?

Halo: Reach

What is it? A couple of games ago, Bungie promised they’d “finish the fight” – which left plenty of room for prequels.
Should you care? It’s a Halo game. Console king of polished yet samey FPS gameplay.

What is it? Sony’s new motion controller. Accelerometers, light sensing, the whole shebang.
Should you care? It all depends on the games. Some of the games launching with Move are listed below, while others such as Tiger Woods and R.U.S.E. have launched with Move compatibility.

[imgclear] Start the Party
What is it? Assortment of mini-games designed for family fun using the Move controller.
Should you care? Ever played Warioware? There aren’t as many games here, but it’s the same type of fun.

[imgclear] Sports Champions
What is it? Playstation Move’s answer to Wii Sports.
Should you care? It’s arguably the most solid offering out of the Move launch titles. Archery, Frolf, lawn bowls, sword & shield action, beach volleyball and table tennis, each with a broad difficulty curve.

[imgclear] Kung Fu Rider
What is it? Ride an office chair (or something similar) down a hill, avoiding obstacles and kung-fu kicking mafia types along the way.
Should you care? It’s very silly. Definitely funny for the first five minutes. Will it be enjoyable after that? Probably not.
