This is not a game.
 
This is a great QL, though.

Immediately reminded me of Gitaroo Man (as mentioned) and Elite Beat Agents. Seems like it would be fun for a little bit to mess around with, but probably not a lot of longevity to it.

" The reason the quality is bad is because of the setting the PS3 uses for move. in order to get smooth gameplay it runs the camera at 120 frames per second (which is insane considering most webcams run at 30-60 fps). in order to do that the resolution has to be sacrificed but that doesn't mean the eye "can't" run at higher resolutions. It's all a trade-off. When you plug it into a computer it runs at lower framerates and higher resolutions and so looks better.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Eye "

I figured that the camera quality was due to a compromise for better gameplay, thanks for the info! "
The game looks pretty sharp when I'm playing, I think it is their lighting or something wrong with their PS Eye.  Proof:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qMMG2NyR9E 
 
Note: The lighting in my room isn't super great either, but it isn't quite as blurry as the QL.

I loved Jeff's response whenever Ryan put the Drum music on in the song selection (the one they used after going through them all).

Also notice the difference in camera quality and the lack of crazy guy in the background waving presents around.

Dude! Some sick beats and loops coming from this game! I dig it! I mean, I wouldn't ever play it, but I wish they'd go through every single instrument set in this quick look so I could listen to it!

You know what, this looks pretty cool.  Grats to Move for having the first motion game that I actually give a darn about at all.   
 
One game, probably not enough to make me invest in Move, but it's a huge step up.

I like this. I wish the creation mode was more of a sequencer, and a well thought out party mode would make this thing a hit with friends around. Still, it probably goes over well with a crowd as is. Starting to see the move as something that might be worth picking up down the line at some point.

When do XBLA games get to use Kinect? Seems like Sony remembered and Microsoft forgot about downloadable games as means to further motion stuff.

:\ SIT IN THE CENTER. REALLY. It drove me all types of crazy to see how bad they had it aimed. Also part of why it looks bad is the poor lighting they have. Proper lighting and the camera quality gets 200% better.
 
Def made me think of Elite Beat Agents, pretty fun

Looks like someone grew up in the 'burbs :) 
 
(And to ruin the joke by explaining it: mice do love peanut butter. Tons of traps are flavored/scented as such to encourage the little dudes to get themselves murdered)

This game seems..not so much as a game, but still sort of awesome. The challenge mode reminded me a bit of Elite Beat Agents,and, I like what they're trying to do. So.. need to force a move-equipped friend to start digging this

Quote of the day, game looks pretty fun, and the Move seems competent at recognising everything, with the buttons simplifying stuff like menus and other game related things.

Are these the same people who did ilomilo? Because the song @ 11:03, i believe, is there too. It's the same song from the devs video also. Love that joint!
