Gamers will surely want to have a try with Sony's coolest control system that was presented at the Games Developer's Conference in San Franciso early this month. It is described as something similar to the Nintendo Wii.

On its trigger the reverse changes color to differentiate one remote from another. One can use use one remote or two at the same time, depending on the game. The conrol is very light, lighter than a Wiimote. The controller can be rotated vertically (a gamer can twist it) or horizontally (make flips) and the system has no trouble tracking what it’s doing. This means that for fighting games, one can pull all kinds of moves just like one (hypothetically) would in real life: for example, one can spin around, and the tracking handles it perfectly. Or, for games like table tennis, one can actually put spin on your shots by angling your wrist just like yone would in real life. It’s a lot of work for a video game, and a lot of fun.

At Ohgizmo.com you will also read the following info on the new gadget: There’s a trigger on the reverse, at the top near the glowy ball, which changes color to differentiate one remote from another. Depending on the game, you can use one remote or two at the same time. It’s very light, lighter than a Wiimote, which makes me think it must have a rechargeable battery inside. I got a chance to test the Move out for a while last night, and it’s pretty impressive. It’s less forgiving than a Wii as far as where you can stand, but it’s much more precise and gives you a huge range of motion. You can rotate the controller vertically (twist it) or horizontally (make it do flips) and the system has no trouble tracking what it’s doing. This means that for fighting games, you can pull all kinds of moves just like you (hypothetically) would in real life: for example, you can spin around, and the tracking handles it perfectly.
