I'm still not sold on PlayStation Move or Kinect. I have a Wii...that gathers dust.

Well, this still looks more compelling than Kinect (buttons are useful things) but I have yet to see any games that are actually going to make me buy the product.  For this or Kinect

I am just wondering where his Vodka with Vodka in it is, power-ups perhaps?

Pro-Stroke.

I've mastered it watching hundreds of 'tutorial' videos.

Ask me anything.

Not with that fidelity of precision. Not even with MotionPlus. If this isn't the best showcase, wait for the Sports Champions quick look. Played table tennis with Move recently and it's unbelievable.

Do you trow your club when playing golf? "
Obviously not, dip shit. But accidents happen. In case you forgot, the first few weeks of the Wii's release were marred with reports of people doing exactly that. This game specifically asks that you aim the remote at the screen and swing really fast. "
No need to freak out, I thought most broken tvs were from the bowling minigame, where it feels strange to not actually let go of the 'ball' . But you could always ducktape it to your hand if you're paranoid. "
Worry not. It has a wrist-strap.

Good god...that dude spent exactly, and I mean EXACTLY a year setting up his first shot. I love QLs, and I pretty much hate QLEXes.

It looks like fun.  Graphics blow but I guess that's OK. Playstation Move seems like a really interesting product to me. (I know, Wii clone blah blah, I still think its nifty.)

John Daly!!! Normally I don't care about sports games but with a celebrity endorsement like that how can I not break out my golf bats and strike a seven wicket home run try? !

The movement is way too jittery. They need to add a larger dead zone to the motion sensor.

I'm not at all interested in golf games ... but if stance is so important, why aren't the shadows of the legs rendered in first person mode? That would make it easier to the player to see how he's standing.

It would make sense and look a lot less ridiculous than two dismembered arms.

So here is a money making idea based on what Ryan said when he was putting. Someone should make a augmented reality app for the iphone and android that draws the slope lines on the green when you hold your phone's camera up to the green. BAM!

... but if you are looking at your TV, you are looking straightahead and not at your feet.  
 
Looks a bit like half a Tiger game but hopefully they can solve the frustration of the Wii remote where you natuarally twist to the left / right after your swing (or where the putt stops on the lip of the cup).

The Move stuff looks OK.  The graphics don't look very good and the audience on the field look like manikins.

'As I said there are some UK courses, so there are some more tropical courses in the game' 
 
I'm sorry where exactly in the UK are these courses? Because I'd like to go!

 Glad to see GB starting to ease into covering the newest hardware upgrades. This was a lot more interesting than I initially thought it would be. For a first take on showing off what the PS move is going to be able to achieve this felt quite informative. Also, as far as golf games go, ProStroke looks like fun - even for someone as oblivious to the real sport as me.

Kind of wish I had room for the Move when i see this. Alas, I don't live in a fricken mansion.
