PlayStation® Move games
The bold design of the PS Move motion controller was matched by the originality of the games available for it, from competitive sports to augmented reality adventures.
Kung-Fu Rider
As memorable for its wacky premise as for the compelling gameplay, players took on the role of a private detective on the run from gangsters, using an office chair as their method of escape through packed Hong Kong streets.
Sports Champions
A combination of modern and medieval sporting events, PS Move-toting competitors could take on events like archery and table tennis, as well as gladiator duels and the obscure sport of Bocce.
Start the Party!
Combining the Move controller with the PS Eye camera, this collection of augmented reality mini-games put players at the heart of the action in bug-swatting, balloon-popping madcap party games.
Book of Spells
A companion game to the wizarding world of Harry Potter, players used the PS Move controller as a wand, while the book itself generated augmented reality adventures that advanced their education in witchcraft and wizardry.
PlayStation Move Heroes
Bringing together some of the stars of PlayStation gaming, including Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Jak & Daxter and more, players took control of these heroes in a series of tournament challenges, using the Move controllers to unleash different weapons against their alien captors.
MotorStorm (2006)
A PS3 launch title in Europe, MotorStorm was a blood-pumping off-road racer where players could control nitrous-boosted buggies, bikes, mudpluggers and more across courses filled with tricks and traps.
Resistance: Fall of Man (2006)
Insomniac Games’ alt-history FPS was a launch title in North America and Europe, immediately plunging players into a 1950s where the alien Chimera race is steadily taking over Earth – so, naturally, it’s up to the player to fight back and win the day for humankind.
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune (2007)
Nathan Drake, Victor Sullivan, Elena Fisher – this is where these genuine PlayStation icons began their journey, in a rip-roaring action-adventure game that put us into the boots of Nate and had us collecting treasures and surviving epic setpieces.
Assassin’s Creed (2007)
Ubisoft’s first Assassin’s Creed adventure split the player between two characters – the present-day Desmond Miles and, more excitingly, the rooftop-rambling and sneakily-stabbing Altaïr, going about his lethal business in the 12th century Holy Land.
LittleBigPlanet (2008)
This charming puzzle-platformer introduced Sackboy to the gaming world, but while LittleBigPlanet’s pre-made levels were a lot of fun to bounce around, developers Media Molecule gave players the tools to create their own platforming stages and share them online for others to enjoy – a first for console gaming.
inFamous (2009)
In Sucker Punch’s open world adventure, protagonist Cole MacGrath discovers he can control electrical power. He doesn’t have to be good, however, and the game’s Karma system gave players a different ending depending on whether they’d used Cole’s abilities to help or hurt the people of Empire City.
Gran Turismo 5 (2010)
Polyphony Digital took its critically acclaimed racing series online for the first time with Gran Turismo 5. Further additions included real-time vehicle damage and a variety of immersion-deepening visual effects. Eighty-one track layouts kept competition fresh, and overhauled handling had the cars feeling more realistic than ever.
Grand Theft Auto V (2013)
Taking the series’ open-world crime-caper formula but making it bigger than ever, the fifth mainline GTA was – and still is – a phenomenon. A deeply immersive single-player adventure and later a chaotic multiplayer playground, players planned heists under the Californian sun in the expansive and beautiful San Andreas location.
The Last of Us (2013)
Naughty Dog’s critically celebrated and cinematically inclined action gameplay took a darker turn for this journey across a United States devastated by a viral outbreak. Adding stealth and survival elements to polished gunplay and crunchy melee combat, the story of Joel and Ellie was an instant hit.
Games on the go
Some of the greatest PS Vita games that took big adventures away from the TV screen and out into the world.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss (2012)
This launch title serves as a prequel to Nathan Drake’s PS3 trilogy. It’s another tale of treasure hunting with the series’ trademark gunplay complemented by PS Vita-exclusive touch inputs for melee combat, taking photos and more.
Gravity Rush
This wonderfully original adventure sees amnesiac Kat meet an actual cat, Dusty, and subsequently discover she can manipulate gravity to walk on walls and fly, using the PS Vita motion controls to change direction.
LittleBigPlanet PS Vita (2012)
Sackboy brought his trademark puzzle-platforming fun to PS Vita with a multi-award-winning game big on creativity, utilizing the system’s touch controls front and back and a creative toolset expanded to include PS Vita-exclusive components.
WipEout 2048 (2012)
WipEout 2048 is a visual feast on the PS Vita system’s crisp OLED screen, and its pumping soundtrack keeps the heartrate high as you blast around the series’ trademark anti-gravity tracks.
Persona 4: Golden (2012)
Arguably the complete version of a JRPG classic, the initially PS Vita-exclusive Golden version of Persona 4 adds additional characters, social links and a new epilogue to this compelling story of mysterious murders in rural Japan.
Soul Sacrifice (2013)
This action-RPG brought original gameplay mechanics to the fore, allowing the player to save or sacrifice their enemies and subsequently gain different benefits, and to sacrifice parts of their own body for extra power in other areas.
Tearaway (2013)
Media Molecule’s Tearaway turns the PS Vita into an interactive papercraft world manipulated by the rear touch pad and screen. The objective is to help a Messenger reach the sun – which has your face in it, thanks to the front-mounted camera – but this is a game all about the magical journey.
