Although the battle for next-gen supremacy is in
full swing, the best-selling console in the land
remains the venerable
PS2, so it was only a matter of time before developers tried to cash in on the buzz surrounding Wii by cranking out some motion-sensing titles for Sony's older machine. First up to the plate is In2Games, which will add to its existing motion sensing
catalog with the announcement of Realplay Golf, Tennis, Pool, Racing, Bowling, and Puzzlesphere at the Leipzig Games Convention later this month. The $60 games each come with a custom motion sensing controller, enabling players to fill their homes with as many crazy peripherals as possible. We're all for more motion controlled games -- especially if the controllers are as
hackable as the SIXAXIS and Wiimote -- but if In2Games really wanted to bring the next-gen experience to the PS2, they'd take out the
rumble, no?

Drats...
Does that count as cute?
Some chick who seems to bend in funny ways.
No, hang on, I think I just answered my own question...
I'm surprised it wasn't a Korean girl. Very attractive.
Ah yes, if only In2Games were owned by Samsung...
This type of device for PS2 and PS3 could help the PS2 stay alive and close the gap between PS3 and Wii - the gap filled with casual gamers.
There's one little problem with that, though: the Wiimote is included with the Wii, this is seperate from the PS2/3. Things like this generally don't gain wide acceptance with developers or consumers for this very reason.

Ho ho, zing!
I heart my PS3 (just watched a movie on it, in fact), but I do miss that rumble in the games.
"...but I do miss that rumble in the games."
Or just games in general.
(Zing!)
Haha, yes... sad but true. While I do indeed like the machine, the truth is the software is a bit lacking. I do believe it will get better though; some good things are on the way.
This is Nintendo turf Sony is treading on, good luck to them.
Dont remember reading anywhere that Sony made this......Maybe Im just blind
Seriously are you guys drooling over that?
This is old news, there's been a sixaxis like controller for the PS3 for nearly 2 years now
I have cerebral palsy.
That girl is on backwards!
Motion sensing games exists on the PS2 for years now. Google 'Gametrak'.
Is she doing Elaine's dance from Seinfeld?
That girl belongs with that internet guy that was photoshopped into all kinds of different images.
