We all saw Sony’s E3 conference, and we saw the PlayStation Move in action. The Wii Remote times 10 that they showed us seems pretty cool to me, I’m not gonna lie, but the thing that I need to really sell me on it is a great game. Heavy Rain with Move controls? Nah. What I need is something GREAT. Like Heroes on the Move. Get it? Get it? They’re Heroes… and they’re on the Move…. yeah. The only reason this game caught my eye, though, is because I’m a SUCKER for Cross Overs.
They showed some game play at E3, but after that we haven’t really heard much about this game. I really hope it doesn’t become just shovelwear, because the concept seems pretty cool. Combining gameplay elements of 3 different games into one, using the PlayStation Move, it almost sounds like a motion controlled Super Mario Crossover. Sony recently released a press release giving us a little look at what the game has in store for us. Check it out!
