Watch Kevin Butler’s Move video from the future
Sony’s VP of Everything, Kevin Butler, has a new video up on YouTube chatting about Move, which was fully revealed at GDC last week.
It’s below the break, and makes you smile at least – maybe it also gives you a reason to buy it even if you already own a Wii.
We have no idea what goes on in your head or pocketbook, and it is really none of our business, unless you plan to buy us something.
Enjoy.

Red Dead Redemption video shows Life in the West
Rockstar as released an in-depth video, looking at the life teeming inside Red Dead Redemption. It’s below the break.
Called Life in the West, it shows the hardships of early 20th century settlers, unique challenges in every area, with wild bears and snow in the North, bandits and cattle rustlers in the West, to unrest and revolution in the South.
Hundreds of characters populate each of the three areas, each with a distinct personality, and every area has its own unique ecosystem with a variety of animals and plant life.
Each area offers several types of challenges and rewards. Hunting allows John Marston to skin and sell the skin in town with bloody battles attracting vultures, who if shot, unlock sharp shooting challenges.
Screens showing the map and life in the West were released yesterday. Game’s out in May.
