The BBC's resident technology boffin Rory Cellan-Jones has claimed that PlayStation Move offers gamers more precision in comparison to Microsoft's Kinect peripheral.

Following some hands-on time with Kinect (formally known as Project Natal) recently, Cellan-Jones admitted that while he could "certainly see the attractions of throwing away the control and just flinging yourself at the game," he didn't feel overly convinced by the new device from a hardcore gamers perspective.

"I was not quite convinced that Microsoft's technology would deliver for hard-core gamers. It seemed to work well on fun Wii-like games where you didn't need too much precision – I'm not so sure how whether it would deliver on a first-person shooter."

Comparing it to Move, he found that Sony's motion controller offered a far more precise experience overall: "I've had a go on Sony's Move motion control system, which is unveiled on Tuesday. Sony's solution is much less radical. It has retained the controller, now adorned with glowing spheres which interact with a sensor unit on the television," he said.

"This makes the whole experience less physical than with Kinect, but it also delivers a lot more precision. Sony showed us a table tennis game which seemed to mimic the real thing much more closely than I have seen elsewhere."

PlayStation Move will be out in full force during the company's E3 press conference tomorrow morning, so stay tuned for more details on the device from the show as they break.

I'm not sure how you can hate the PS3 either, but it's definitely not much better than the 360, it all comes down to preference. Plus GOW is decent, but nothing to scream about.

You gotta use sarcasm tags then. -1 point.

God of War III. Recycled music, enemies, etc.; mediocre story; emphasis on scope rather than intense combat.

No. After watching the movies I hate Ironman beyond all belief.

There might be a grain of truth to the idea that Nintendo's hypercompetitive lineup leads to a lack of interest in their systems... But when you look at the third party support the DS got this gen, there's enough third party games to discount the theory. In my opinion ;)

Not even close. I've only liked a couple games this year. In fact, almost every one of my recent purchases I like was from 2009, from Ratchet and Clank to Demon's Souls and so on.

Metroid Prime Pinball DS. Best handheld game ever.
