Carnival Island invites you to take a trip to a magic carnival
and experience the joy of classic family-friendly fun with 35
carnival attractions. Utilizing the PlayStationŽMove
controller's precise tracking technology, every toss, roll,
throw, spin and slam is translated directly into the game for
accurate and responsive gameplay. By completing challenges,
players can create their own cheering squad consisting of
lovable pets throughout their experience. Players can also have
fun by interacting with fun house mirrors, photo cut-outs and
upload snapshots of their experiences directly onto the XMB™
(XrossMediaBar) to send to a PlayStationŽNetwork friend. In
addition to its enchanting single-player mode, Carnival Island
is the perfect ingredient for family game night, featuring a
fantastically fun party mode, which supports up to four players
at once, for play with one or two Move motion controllers.
EyePet & Friends – November 15
EyePet is back and this time he's got company: two pets with one
enjoyable augmented reality experience right in your
living-room. EyePet & Friends is a continuation of the
innovative EyePet franchise which enables kids and their
families to experience the magic of a virtual Pet in the real
world! It combines new technologies and gameplay, and takes both
camera-based games and the Pet genre to a completely new level.
The introduction of the second EyePet allows for all-new
interactive activities and mini-games that bring kids and
families together. The game also features exciting new items and
modes that encourage kids to express their creativity by fully
customizing their EyePets' appearance and play areas.
LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack: Rise of the Cakeling –
September 13
The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack combines the PlayStation Move
motion controller with the world of LittleBigPlanet, and with
five giant story levels and seven side levels, this is
LittleBigPlanet's biggest Downloadable Content (DLC) pack to
date. It features a new story mode – The Rise of the Cakeling –
in which a rogue cake threatens doom and destruction, and you
Sackfolk must once again attempt to restore peace to Craftworld.
This time though you'll have a brand new toy to make things
easier, The Brain Crane—a new power up that allows you to
control objects with the power of your mind. There is also a new
suite of powerful gadgets for use with PlayStation Move allowing
players to create their own PlayStation Move games, record fluid
motions, and paint their own stickers, while a boatload of new
stickers, materials, decorations, costumes, music, sound and
sequencer objects will vastly broaden your creative palette, and
make your Popit burst at the seams. Best of all, the Move Pack
brings backwards compatibility with LittleBigPlanet 2, meaning
you can play though all of the original story levels, and all
five million community levels using the Move controller, not to
mention the thousands of new games and levels that are bound to
be created using the Move controller, all equating to endless
fun for players. The LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack is available
for download only via the PlayStation Network for $9.99.
Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest – November 15
From the same team that brought you Sports Champions, the best
selling PlayStationŽ Move title, Medieval Moves: Deadmund's
Quest combines sword fighting, archery and throwing stars in a
playful action-adventure! Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest is a
non-stop action adventure specifically designed for the
PlayStationŽ Move! The evil Sorcerer Morgrimm has invaded Prince
Edmund's Castle and plots to take over the kingdom, raising an
army of skeletons from beyond. Now, let the adventure begin as
you battle Morgrimm, and his minions, to restore order to the
kingdom!
Swing your sword to counter attack an enemy, reach back to your
quiver for an arrow to aim a pinpoint accurate shot or toss a
barrage of throwing stars with the kind of true angle, speed and
precision that is only available on PlaystationŽMove.
Available exclusively for the PlayStation 3 system, the
PlayStation Move offers an innovative gaming experience by using
realistic, high-definition gaming along with accurate, intuitive
control. The PlayStation Move platform includes the motion
controller, navigation controller and the PlayStation Eye
camera, which all work together to track player position and
movement for such realistic gameplay that the player feels as if
he is in the game.
