At a Sony press event in New York City last week, I was able to try out PlayStation Move for the first time.Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11was among the games I played, and it was immediately impressive. Here’s how it works. You grasp the Move wand like a golf club, and use the face buttons to select a club. The big button in the center of the wand, simply named the “Move button,” serves the function of the O button in the regular game — it zooms the camera to the landing area of your shot....

If you weren’t able to view the most epicEpileptic Gaminglast night (epic ’cause it had me!), then here are the videos of the whole damn thing. Watch, learn, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear. More videos after the jump and check outRev’s appearanceas well. Also, I’ll be appearing onCoin-Op TVtomorrow (no, not an April Fool’s joke), so verify you tune in for that as well. [Update: For whatever reason, the embed isn’t working....

Super. Something that looks like a Wii Remote for the Xbox 360 and PS3. We really needed that, didn’t we? Like it or not, In2Games is making this Gametrak Freedom, a motion-sensing controller for the other two systems that looks like a cross between a nose hair trimmer and a dildo. Hell, if it has good shake and is backwards compatible with the PS2, it would be a better pleasure solution than theRezVibrator....

There are a few new interesting tidbits to take away from this latest trailer for the PlayStation Portable version ofArmy of Two: The 40th Day. The fact that it’s a drastically different experience than its console brethren is not one of them, if yourecall Ben’s preview. Besides keeping a few major elements that makeArmy of Twowhat it is,The 40th Dayon PSP will probably remind you more ofKillzone: Liberationthan anything else. But wait, there’s some actual news in here!...

Last week, Jack Thompson promised “big trouble” for the eagerly awaitedBioShock. While I felt dirty that such a beautiful game was being uttered from the filthy mouth of the silver haired panty-buncher, I patiently waited for this trouble, wondering what it was that Jumpin’ Jack Twat had up his sleeve. Now the time has come andBioShock‘sultimate doomhas been decided … Jack Thompson … WROTE AN ANGRY LITTLE LETTER! OH NO! For some undisclosed reason, Jack Thompson was watching World Wrestling Entertainment’sSmackdownand spotted the classyBioShockcommercial that’s been airing....

The stupidly named, awesome lookingKingdom Hearts 358/2 Dayscomes out in Japan next year, in a few months. To promote this game, Square Enix has just announced that aKingdom Heartsspecial edition DSi will kick off Japan’s crazy trend of limited edition portables that we’ll never see. We know that this limited edition is coming in February of 2009, but we have no idea what it will look like yet.Dengekisays that details on color and design will come soon....

Zeno Clashdeveloper ACE Team knows us all too well. Apparently, we let the latest trailer forZeno Clash: Ultimate Editionslip into inbox obscurity, which is unfortunate. We were informed that the video features hot pig-on-foot action, which isnot unfortunate. Hence this write-up of said trailer. Jump straight to the one-minute mark if you’re only in this thing for the animal abuse. Otherwise, I urge you to watch the full thing; it’s a good trailer, especially for those of you who are relatively unfamiliar with whatZeno Clashis all about....

A while ago,we talked abouthow Sony’sdisgusting PSP advertisinghad inspired one mobile game developer to have a laugh and make money at the same time. Brad Johnson createdLame Castle, a game based on a fictional title shown during Sony’s commercial. Lame Castleis now available on iTunes for the cool price of $0.99, which is significantly cheaper than it would be in Sony’s “PSP Minis” store. The game itself is a fun little title of the “Runner” variety....

Lance Henriksen is confirmed to appear inAliens: Colonial Marines,just as he didin SEGA’s last Xenomorph-flavored romp,Aliens vs. Predator. He will be playing Rook, a Weyland-Yutani synthetic identical to the similarly-Chess-named Bishop from theAliensmovie. Sounds good to me! Make sure you check outAliens: Colonial Marinesfirst lookwhile you’re at it. Game’s looking hot.

Today, spies slipped me an unreleased promo trailer that shows offThe Sabotuer‘s pre-order item — a Nazi dagger — in action. FromGameStop.com: Reserve your copy of The Saboteur today and make your enemies die at the blade of their own steel with an exclusive Nazi knife, stolen from your enemies. This in-game weapon gives you the ultimate revenge with a silent and swift execution maneuver. The Saboteurhits shelves on December 8....

If you’re a fan ofLeft 4 Dead 2, then this video is exactly appropriate, and I recommend that you check it out right now.Left 4 Dead 2is mercilessly parodied in a surprisingly funny cartoon that makes you first think it’s going to be a trite and unfunny slice of sardonic self-reference, but quickly becomes incredibly humorous. Check it out. It’s worth it for the Spitter’s little moment of glory alone. FOOTBALL!...

This video from theStreet Fighter X TekkenComic-Con panel has made my week. In it,Tekkenproducer Katsuhiro Harada andStreet Fighterproducer Yoshinori Ono partake in a number of challenges to determine who is the ultimate fighting game producer. Honestly, this does more for me than anyStreet Fighter X Tekkenfootage ever could.

We need to give credit where credit is due: the originalLipsdid a terrific job of providing post-launch content. A lot of time and effort went into establishing the brand name, and the sequel,Lips: Number One Hits, looks to be a decent step up from a new features standpoint. The game’s soundtrack is already out therein the wild, so today’s announcement is more focused on the new Xbox 360 Avatar support. You know how nine times out of ten Avatars are just slapped next to your name and aren’t really significant in any way whatsoever?...
