My thoughts on the PlayStation Move

 I know a lot of people are probably writing about this but I think I will come at this blog from a different perspective, a left handed perspective. See I own a Wii and yes sometimes it is great and sometimes it sucks but some of the game I just can not get into because I am left handed and I end up switching the Wii Remote into my left hand and the nunchuck into my right hand. Playing that way is extremely confusing to me since I have been playing games with the D-pad or analog stick with my left thumb, but I can not stand having the Wii Remote in my right hand due to the fact that I am left handed and it is just plan weird for me. Anyways after looking at some of the stuff from the PlayStation Move I am quite intrigued about this. After watching the SOCOM 4 video it put some of my worries at ease, you see the guy playing it is just sitting in his chair having a good time it seems. What I liked about it was that he wasn't pointing the Move at the screen like you do with the Wii Remote. You see for me I like that since I get tired of having to point the Wii Remote at the screen like in Metroid Prime 3 and for that reason I don't think I will ever beat it. With that reason it is just hard for me to have the Wii Remote in my left hand always pointing at the screen and then trying to maneuver with my right hand which for me is really hard to do. I know most of you will say to me well just switch the controllers back, well for me that is hard to do since I don't have as much control with my right hand than my left. If you are one of those people saying that trying playing Wii games the way I do and feel my pain. Back to the topic the Move actually looks very comfortable to play with and play the way they have been showing you, with the Move in your right hand and the sub-controller in your left hand. I am actually curious the way this will play out in some games like SOCOM and other shooters. It looks very easy to do and I can relax while I am playing my games unlike when I play me Wii. But if this controller fails miserably I will always have my trusty DualShock to fall back on for other games. I won't be wanting to always use this controller to play my normal PS3 games but the ones that I own and are compatibleI will at least give it a try and if they don't work for me I can just switch back. Unlike the Wii where motion controls are forced on you in most games the PS3 version of motion controls seem like a nice little addition that may or may not work out I will let the games speak out on that but from what I see about the PlayStation Move I like. I will probably get it once it comes out depending on the price and if it is to high I will just ask for it for Christmas. To end this blog I want to just say that I am not trying to be a PS3 fanboy here and bash Nintendo all the time because in the end of it all I will always love Nintendo, I mean come on the NES came out the year I was born! I grew up with Nintendo and always buy a Nintendo product before anything else on the market first. But it just seems this generation that they have kinda let me down. I think the only reason why is that I am left handed and live in a world full of righties! I still think the Wii can do amazing stuff, but it only seems like Nintendo is the only company that can do that system right. My only hope is that the new Zelda game will let me play as left handed Link again and not have to fuddle around with switching the controllers all the time just to get past something. Maybe the Wii isn't made for left handed people but as of this moment I think that the PlayStation Move was built for people who are both left handed and right handed.
