Here's the premise: PlayStation Move tracks a ball of light with a camera. Move's big claim to fame, if you're comparing it to Nintendo's Wii MotionPlus, is that it can track you in Z space (depth). That means you can stab someone with a sword rather than just swipe.
My first demo was a game called TV Superstar—essentially a series of minigames themed like a TV show. The Move's camera snapped photos of my face, mapping them to my character...cutting off my goatee so I looked a bit like Hitler. The gameplay? Waggling. And faster waggling to make my character run faster. Take away some cutesy character customization, and you see the sort of half-assed motion game Sony should be sweeping under the rug.
