Blood-letting zombiefest Left 4 Dead missed the PlayStation 3, but Sony's R&D whiz Dr Richard Marks has described his ideal undead experience for PlayStation Move and it makes quite exciting, if unsettling, reading.
But could be used in future Square Enix titles
We've already made our case for why certain Western RPGs wouldn't work with Move, but Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase believes that Japanese RPGs aren't a great fit for Move, either.
