KungFu Rider review
"KungFu Rider" is the dud of the PlayStation Move launch lineup. Some day, you'll be able to buy it used at GameStop for $5 and revel in its badness. Until that day comes, avoid it.
EyePet review
"EyePet," a launch game for Sony's new PlayStation Move controller, films you in your living room and projects you onto the TV, where you can play with a fun new virtual pet. Mileage may vary for folks with actual pets.
Start the Party! review
"Start the Party!" a launch game for Sony's new PlayStation Move controller, lets groups of gamers take turns at playing short, simple games lasting less than a minute. It's clearly a family game and should work best when played with kids who don't mind repeating the same couple dozen games over and over again.
Sports Champions review
"Sports Champions," the best of the PlayStation Move launch games, is worth a look for anyone interested in getting in on the motion-controlled games craze. Its accurate controls put it on par with Nintendo's "Wii Sports Resort," though its gameplay might feel old hat to veterans of Nintendo's console.
PlayStation Move hardware review
