Playstation Move Controller Attachments

Now deep down inside we all know that the PlayStation Movie controller is a glorified Wii Remote Plus. Just because it has a glowing ping pong ball on the top doesn’t really make that much difference. What most people don’t realise is that the Wii Sensor Bar does pretty much exactly the same job as the glowing ball, just in reverse. When the Wii launched with Wii Sports it didn’t take long for accessory makers to start producing all sorts of attachments for the Wii Remote. First we had the most obvious things such as Tennis Rackets, Guns and Baseball...

The Sims Medieval release date

Wow, it’s almost 11 years since the original SIMS game first hit the PC. Can you remember all the fuss is caused? It felt like the whole world was raving about how fun it was to watch a load of virtual people walk around a virtual house all day. Who’d have thought way back then that the series would grow into a multi-million seller and spawn thousands of sequels?
