Kevin Van Dam Hoping to Hook Move this Summer

21:30 at movemodo.com

A trout time

Ahh, the relaxing pastime of taking a boat out from the shore, settling for a nice quiet spot and then trying to snag a fish's lips on a hook before wrestling it out of its habitat and into a boat. The humane way to do things is in the virtual world of course, and although Rapala Pro Bass Fishing has already had a go at recreating the sport, superstar fisherman Kevin Van Dam is about to get his own Move-enabled vehicle.

Review: Top Spin 4

21:00 at movemodo.com

Balls in your court

Motion controllers and tennis games have seemed the perfect match ever since Wii Sports put a plastic Remote in your hand and told you to be Roger Federer. Regrettably, since then, few titles — if any — have come close to matching Nintendo's pack-in when it comes to intuitive controls and the all-important fun factor: EA's Grand Slam Tennis on Wii used MotionPlus to offer 1:1 controller tracking, but didn't win over everyone with its cartoon-styled characters. Sega's Virtua Tennis 2009 on Wii also used the motion-enhancing add-on but didn't go for 1:1 control, a disappointment considering the controller's capabilities. Regrettably, Top Spin 4 mimics the latter in the control stakes, resulting in a disappointing tennis experience.

Happiness comes second

Forget all the dancing talent in the world: Microsoft's Spring dance-off to celebrate Dance Central decided instead to feature two terrible dancers in an effort to prove anybody can dance. Predictably the results didn't exactly prove a fitting accompaniment to Sister Sledge hit He's the Greatest Dancer.

Review: Move Controls in BioShock Infinite “Would Cheat Gamers”

17:15 at movemodo.com

So says Ken Levine

The anticipated scurry of first-person franchises over to PlayStation Move hasn't quite materialised yet: Portal 2 does not feature Move, although EA is considering Move for Battlefield 3. 2K sequel BioShock Infinite won't be using the motion controller though, and why not? According to BioShock creator Ken Levine, it's so users don't feel cheated.

I’d never want to throw in Move support just because it’s going to make some first party happy or because some marketing department wants it on the box because, at the end of the day, gamers know.

We've written plenty about how good Killzone 3 is with PlayStation Move, but secretly we'd all love to know what it'd be like if played on Kinect. Now you need wonder no more, as an enterprising coder has got the sensor to work on PS3, and the first game on display is Guerilla Games' shooter.
