Is this a PlayStation Move accessory we like?

We're not really fans of the whole motion gaming fad, but this ballistic Move accessory gets us close to being on board.

Motion gaming, as typified by the Move and Kinect accessories for Sony's and Microsoft's flagship consoles respectively, is kind of like the console equivalent of the 3D fad that's sweeping Hollywood. In other words, while it seems like a great idea on paper, poor implementations and even poorer game releases are generally holding the entire idea back.

Not to mention that we'll be dead in the ground before we'll be caught flailing at our TVs like a drunken fool in search of more beer.

However, this sexy little accessory for the PlayStation Move is, well... awesome.

The Sharpshooter houses both portions of the Move controller in an SMG-like configuration, while also featuring a pump action foregrip, firing mode selector, and an adjustable stock. It's what we'd imagine an Apple-designed Heckler & Koch firearm might look like.

The unit costs $US39.99, and will be compatible and Deadspace: Extraction and Killzone 3.

Aliens: Colonial Marines in depth; Z-77 Motherboard round-up; strategy gaming special; Home Server tutorial. PLUS MUCH MORE - ON SALE NOW!

Dang, I do that to the news every time I watch it. then it gets turned off... I like hole in the handle so you can hang the weapon off a lanyard, just like they do in Stargate, when you are waiting at the loading screen.

Try the Kinect at Dick Smith, I noticed most of their super stores have the huge setup for the Kinect, we're talking about 4 huge TV's for the thing. You will be able to notice the lag on the game they demo.
