According to Kevin Butler, motion gaming isn’t for kids. I think the following advert from Sony for Playstations anticipated Next gen motion sensing peripheral, Move, backs up what Kevin’s saying.
The games shown off here look mighty impressive; they definitely look like serious competition for Move’s rival from Microsoft, Kinect. Yes, some of the actions look like they’ve been seen before with the Nintendo Wii. I’m talking about sword fights, boxing, and shooting. But just from the one minute clip they do look great! Will venturing into motion sensing gaming do more harm than good for Sony and the Playstation 3? Only time will tell.
Playstation Move hits the shelves later this month, September 17th at a price of $49.99 for the motion controller. You can also buy a Starter Bundle at $99.99 which includes 1 motion controller, the Playstation Eye and a copy of Sports Champion.
Most sources a few weeks ago suggested that Google Wave was a goner; even me, your humble DigiLounge co-founder. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Google has made a pair of big announcements about the service. Yesterday, Google’s Alex North published a blog post which indicates that something different is going on.
In other words, Wave is not so much dead, as preparing to enter the second chapter of its saga. To that end, Google will be open sourcing additional code (more than 200k lines already open). This does not mean the project is going OSS as lots of people have been predicting. I like to think of it as the Chromium/Chrome model: while the majority is open, there are particular items which Google can’t (e.g. codecs) and others they simply don’t make part of the open source code.
They’re also, interestingly, working on delivering “Wave-in-a-box”, which would include a server and web client that developers and administrators could self-deploy and manage.
So, this post can be a moral for us all: do NOT count Wave out just yet.
It’s time for Round Two! And its code will no doubt be cropping up in other apps.

You may be thinking what the hell is Ginx? Well it is going to be the UK’s first Television channel purely based on video gaming.
The channel will be broadcasting game reviews, latest game trailers, behind the scenes documentaries and other glorious gaming themed content. So it should be great for just tuning in and checking out the latest stuff on games.
Ginx already air a popular Television show named GameFace on Bravo so they aren’t just doing something they know nothing of. However I think that it will only take off if they simply dont repeat the same content throughout the day and show a variety of the latest games and hardware.
Do you think watching people playing games, seeing the latest game trailers and watching behind the scenes content is going to make good TV?
