    Tell-tale signs of the game's cheap production value can be found throughout Heavy Fire: Afghanistan but, even with its shortcomings, the game does a good job of recreating the intensity of battling enemy combatants in modern day Afghanistan by putting you in the boots of one very brave Army soldier, light gun style.

    Despite its - significant - flaws, Grease Dance is enjoyable in an enthusiastic social situation, and it even squeezes in the odd fun Easter egg. Dancing may be frustrating if you're dead set on getting a good score, but the singing works rather well, and with the intended group of friends warbling and jigging along the dodgy recognition is more easily ignorable.

    Sadly, while a handful of the 20 games on offer in Start the Party! Save the World are highly entertaining, given that this is meant to be a family package that can entertain all ages and indeed start the party, Supermassive Games needs to work harder to give PS3 the Move-enabled party game it truly deserves next time.

    MotionSports Adrenaline tries to bring a unique control interface to Move that can compare with what's found on Kinect, but while there's some potential to be had here, the overall experience is nowhere near as exciting as any of these sports are in real life.

    The technical issues, particularly the ridiculous load times, absolutely needed to be sorted out prior to release, however. These things ultimately make for a game that, although much expanded in feature set in some key areas, scratches and scrapes to a level just below that of the first title rather than exceeding it as it should have.

    A good little game that makes involving use of PlayStation Move, elevating a fairly straightforward slash 'em up into something more fun. However, while Zindagi's motion controls excelled in Sports Champions, they are slightly too inconsistent in this adventure setting.

    Though its licence ensures its uniqueness, it is, we're Sorry! to say, a harsh drop off in quality compared to other Hasbro Family Game Night titles, which have previously generally provided decent experiences in the party gaming space.

    An inviting mini-game compilation that gets a lot right. Its slick PlayStation Move implementation is a stark reminder of the device's potential, and the entire package is buoyed by a strong art direction and a good variety of activities. Sadly it's let down by a poorly thought out interface and some inexplicable loading issues.

    Whether you're a fan of the first inFAMOUS or new to the series, the amount of gameplay and riveting story should please all. A few small tweaks to the Move controls would go a long way in improving the overall feel of the game but an absolutely fantastic and worthwhile title nonetheless.

    If you want something simple and a little bit stupid to play along with friends - and you've got a couple of PlayStation Move controllers spare - there's no better option on PS3 right now. It's like a good Chinese dinner you know, with the sweet and the sour.

    Move Mind Benders is cheaper than buying all three games on PSN, with the bonus that Lemmings is enhanced for Move. It's definitely worth picking up for puzzle fans, as long as you haven't got any of the titles here already: although Lemmings is good, it's not worth the asking price alone.

    Like Bond himself, GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is sharp and smart; a modern Bond game, as much about stealth and muscular take downs as gadgets and getting the girl. It doesn't always get it right: fire-fights could have been lifted from any other FPS, and level design can be on the linear side, but it's a strong outing for 007 and by far the best Bond on PS3.

    Despite a few minor flaws and weak Move implementation, this technically impressive action/adventure title is definitely a welcomed addition to the PSN library.

    Ubisoft Montpellier clearly knows its target audience well, and has crafted an uncomplicated, varied adventure that does not outstay its welcome, supplemented by generous alternative modes that meet or exceed the level of quality found in the main story.

    inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood is a great addition to the series and a solid game for Cole fans or even someone looking for a taste of his power without taking the plunge into his previous adventures. Even with many of the features being recycled from the previous games in the series, Move support and user-generated content help keep the game fresh for the die hard fans.

    There's nothing quite like Champion Jockey on PS3, and Tecmo Koei is to be commended for an in-depth portrayal of the horse racing world: what could have been a cheap throwaway is instead a surprisingly lengthy pursuit. The Move controls are enjoyable without being essential and the career mode would have seemed out-dated five years ago, but if you want something original and don't mind a gamble you could find yourself backing a winner.

    Dance! It's Your Stage isn't the breakout dancing game Move owners have been waiting for, with its qualities tempered by drawbacks. The choreography is good, but the lack of clear direction disappoints, while the music that's included is fun, but can't stand up to the competition's recognisable tunes.

    A fine example of how pointing technology can add something worthwhile and extra to a platformer. There's plenty of game to get your head around, and it's all delivered with wonderful presentation - including enough colour to fill a huge box of Crayola - and infectious music that stays in your mind for hours.

    Child of Eden might be known primarily for its forefront position in Kinect's line-up, but it's just as comfortable on PlayStation Move, especially worthy of a purchase given the ridiculously good budget RRP. Rarely have we had as good a time with PlayStation Move - or any game in recent times, for that matter - as with Child of Eden, standing in a darkened room, the volume pumped high, playing by the light of the television and the Move controller alone.

    Like last year's effort, NBA 2K12 is best enjoyed with DualShock 3 in hand, where it once again proves itself to be a phenomenal sporting game: frequently beautiful, with stunning presentation and even more stunning commentary, its breadth of game modes and depth of control take another step up over last year. The biggest disappointment is the fencing-in of Move controls, limiting it to a side attraction rather than a principle feature, but otherwise the game is as close to legendary as we've seen.

    Cabela's Big Game Hunter 2012 may not be exactly what many might expect, but by no means does that mean it's a bad game. The arcade experience found here is just ripe for some great Sharp Shooting action; light on the realism, but heavy on the fun.

    Bringing the thrills and spills of Wipeout to PlayStation 3 with Move seems like an instant win, and while it definitely can bring hours of laughs to a good party, there's simply not enough content to keep single players entertained for much longer than a few hours. If you feel the urge to Wipeout anytime soon, you'll be better off sticking to the TV.

    Dungeon Defenders is everything you could want from a downloadable title. The amount of content and number of possible play styles is astounding and, when combined with its addictive nature, makes for superb value for money.

    Like SingStar Dance before it, Everybody Dance is a huge amount of fun with a friend, and even more with 20. It's still not the complete article, and we'd expect Just Dance 3 to snatch the lead when released in December, but for now this is some of the most fun you'll have with Move.
