Playstation Move?

My wife and I are thinking about getting the Playstation Move because she loves Wii Sports and we've already got a PS3. I figure I'll pick up a Move bundle and another wand but does anybody know if there's other must haves, either in terms of games or that little navigation wand thing?

    Killzone 3 and Resident Evil 5 Gold (via a downloadable PSN patch, I believe) both support Move, as does Dead Space Extraction.

    By the time you buy the extra wand and the gun accessory it adds up to be a pretty penny!

    There's not a lot else out there IMO. Here's the full list of compatible games which doesn't have RE5Gold or Dead Space Extraction for some reason!

    I've seen the list and it seems like a lot of what's out there is shite, but I haven't actually played any of them yet either. I know a lot of Move games are getting clearanced out at places like Target already, I'll probably pick some up cheap and see if they're worth anything.

    I have Move - two lollipops, no nunchuks.

    It's pretty fun - the Sports is a must-get, otherwise there's a lot of fun stuff on PSN. tumble is my top pick right now.

    The precision is impressive, as it tracks distance, angle, speed, etc.

    I have two wands and one navcon. So far, I own:

    Sports Champions (can be played with 1 wand per person, but it's better with 2)
    Start the Party (1 wand total)
    Heavy Rain (wand + navcon or Dual shock)
    Dead Space Extraction (can be played with 1 wand per person, but it's better with a navcon or dual shock also)
    Tumble (1 wand)
    Will get echochrome ii when it goes on sale

    All have been very fun to play. Sports Champions doesn't have the charm of Wii Sports, but the accuracy is impressive and the games are fun, especially bocce and ping pong. Start the Party is a simple alternate-reality party game that is fun in a group (and my kids love it). Heavy Rain and DSE played very well with Move, better than with dual shocks in my opinion (only tried dual shocks a little in each though).

    You'll only need the navcon for hard-core type games (Killzone, Heavy Rain, Socom, etc), but yeah, get two wands for Sports Champions and 2-player games.

    Bocce is surprisingly fun. I like the gladiator battle, but it just doesn't seem as accurate as the other games.

    Thanks for the Tumble recommendation guys, it really is cool. I haven't played much of the sports game yet but I think it'll actually get my wife playing games with me.

    I was seriously impressed with ping pong in Sports Champions. Due to the accuracy of the Move's tracking the way you swing is the way it hits the ball. If you angle and slice it the ball spins appropriately. It's god damn fantastic. There are demos for most of the other Move titles available, including the recently released Move Heroes which is the cartoony mascot platformer deal. I would check that out.

    It is cool how the angle and distance from the camera will affect it.

    I've never touched a Wii ( :oops: ), but get the impression Move is a lot more accurate?

    Move is way more accurate. It's like pro gear vs. a toy when comparing Move and Wii.
