I must admit, I haven't played the Eye-Toy since the PS2 days, which I was certain had faults. It was in no way completely flawless and could dectect everything, and that wasn't my fault the way I was playing it. I was watching people playing it in the shopping center and it was the same for everyone. I personally wouldn't buy it unless it was bundled with something, like I probably wouldn't have bought the Wii Wheel but it came bundled with Mario Kart Wii.
They released a patch for LAIR to allow analog controls however when the game first released it was only Sixaxis (analog could turn the camera). You had to basically treat the controller like you're holding the reins to the dragon. You flail it up to signal the dragon to turn around, and snap it forward to signal a dash.

Warhawk is also another game that takes advantage of the Sixaxis. I think it's the preferred choice when it comes to controlling the planes in it. Very sensitive when it comes to silting the plane left, right, up or down.

Utilised doesn't simply mean it's 'used'. It means it has some actual decent value when playing the game, which in comparison to the Nintendo Wii's controller I highly doubt it does. And you haven't actually proved anything you've said either. At least I've pasted Wikipedia quotes and some stats.
wiki... Lol whatever. As far as my statements are concerned, then you can check out any gaming site for those.

Here is a list of them;

ign
gamespot
1up
psu

See what I mean...


Light today has dawned on my wooden head.

That sounds pretty cool. I really do hope to get a PS3 at some point, I can only play my friends and so on, but to have all the consoles would be much easier to make a better judgement on it. If I do manage to get one I'll definatly check out the games you mentioned, that sounds pretty sweet.

I still think in comparison the Wii motes motion is much better, but then of course that's what it was designed for. Both the PS3 and the Wii have their strengths, however the Wii appeals to me more, simply as that really.

So I think I'm going to leave it there, have to be off to revise for exams tomorrow -_-=

And no I haven't been sleeping for the past year. I admit I'm not as much in tune in the gaming world as I was when I was 12. But you know, some of us have A Levels to think about, exams to revise for and I generally can't sit on my ass all day reading game magazines. If I want to get into the game design industry then I need these qualifications.
To be fair, if you want to get into the industry then it's obvious you have more than enough time to read up a little bit. It's not hard at all there's hundreds of gaming news sites out there. You certainly seem to have more than enough time to post here all the time. No reason you couldn't read up a little too.

I mean, you're the one wanting to get into the industry, like you say.

'Lol whatever?' Aren't you like 20 or something? :S

Anyway, I'm already aware of those sites thanks. I'm still sceptical about the Sixaxis motion in comparison to the Wii Mote motion and if your trying to say that it's better then unforunatly you'll have a hard time arguing that. The Wii Mote is blantantly better, that's what it was designed for.

Yeah I know, I'm off to revise now ^_^ When I go to do my degree, which will be in a year, the course contains study of the games console market and so on so I will be more knowledgable then. I am just planning to be a humble artist or 3D designer, so the market while being still important, its less important than if I were a Director for example. Once exams are over I will definatly take a better look into it all. Just talking to people about the market on here though as definatly taught me a few things and it's good to see things from a different perspective.

Why did this, "Lol whatever" actually compelled you question my maturity? I am a little touchy about this whole, English-affair, so, I would not even venture off in this realm if I were you. Oh, and good luck for your exams.

Thankyou very much ^___^ I've done the bulk of them now which is good, I was dreading some of them but I think I did okay.
