Last week at San Diego Comic-Con, The Flickcast team got a chance to play around with the game that will be bundled with the U.S. version of Playstation Move, titled Sports Champions. It’s a lot like Wii Sports, but definitely still fun and new and definitely shows off Move‘s capabilities. If you live in the U.K., however, you’ll find something quite different inside your Playstation Move starter kit: 9 demos for the motion-controlled software.
Six game demos will be included, for titles Sports Champions, Start the Party, The Shoot, EyePet: Move Edition, TV Superstars, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11. The three remaining demos will be for Playstation Network games Echochrome 2, Tumble and Beat Sketchers.
While you may be thinking that these are only demos, and not full versions of the game, it’s interesting to consider whether or not you’d prefer just one full game that you may not even like, or a ton of short demos of games that will allow you to find a title you really enjoy. What’s good for U.S. gamers is that, while Sports Champions is only one title, it’s got a bunch of activities like archery, volleyball, or sword fighting, all of which can be played with friends.
Playstation Move launches in Europe on September 15th and on September 19th for the United States.

There’s a lot of cool tech on the horizon, but there wasn’t much I’ve wanted to try more than Sony’s motion controlled software, Playstation Move. Luckily, Move was in full force at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and I got my hands on that lolly pop-looking controller and gave it a go. My first experience with Playstation Move came in the form of a game called Beat Sketchers, which was just as good a game as any to give me a feel for this new technology.
Beat Sketchers is essentially Microsoft Paint, except for your television. Using the Playstation Move’s camera and the Playstation Move controller, players can draw, splash, and doodle all over themselves and everything around them on screen, using the Move as a paintbrush and their surroundings as a canvas.
I had a lot of fun using this game to test out the Playstation Move, which was more responsive than I expected. Since it does use the Playstation Eye instead of a sensor bar to sense your movements, gameplay never felt interrupted by a connection problem between the controller and the system.
