Now the sales need to match the reviews...
When the dust settles down the game may end with a solid 80 on meta I guess (there will be 6-6.5-7 reviews with similar argument from IGN "too little too late")
I'm curious about the EDGE review on this one.

Really? I would almost be shocked if Edge don't rubbish the game and move in general ;) Their threshold for excitement when it comes to Sony technology seems quite a bit higher than for MS technology :)

If we had to compare this to the similar motion-centric bundles being offered by the competition -- Wii Sports, Sports Resort, and the still-in-development Kinect Sports -- right now we'd rank this pretty high on the list. Every title felt like something worth multiple playthroughs, and we'll admit, the HD visuals did feel like a value-add. It's a pretty fun title for playing with you friends, and additionally, provides a pretty good showcase for Move's capabilities.
R.U.S.E. is Ubisoft's upcoming World War II-based real-time strategy game, and one of the few games we had that was designed to use the Navigation Controller -- in this case, for screen movement and unit selection. The Move controller can also pan / tilt the screen and issue commands based on where you're pointing. The system is very intuitive and even has some crafty options for cycling through highlighted units based on their type. However, it doesn't quite best a keyboard-and-mouse combination for controlling larger groups of units -- blame it on the joystick, mostly. Despite that, it's still one of the better strategy games we've played on a console.
"Exactly as with EyeToy in the PS2 days, it's a product that needs to be sampled. You need to get your hands on it. You need to understand it. You need to try it." So says SCE's Senior VP Ray Maguire. And it's true; motion controls are nothing new in the games industry, but PlayStation has really learned from its competitors and delivered a compelling and entertaining experience complemented by the hardware's ability to push HD visuals. But like its rival, the success is going to be largely dependent upon the games that support it. What we've seen so far is very promising, but whether or not the $100 cost of entry will dissuade one too many customers remains to be seen. The traditional console cycle seems to have been eschewed by all players in favor of new methods of interactions. It's shaping up to be one of the most interesting eras in the history o console gaming, and make no mistake, Sony's got all the right ingredients here.

Eurogamer have some reviews up.
Start the party review (6/10)
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-08-31-start-the-party-review
Sports Champions (7/10)
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-01-sports-champions-review
I think the problem with some of the reviews are the people who are reviewing it. The games are not designed to be for your hard ass Modern Warfare 2 type gamer, just friendly casual fun.
I've read quite a few Sport Champions reviews by now, and I think it's really funny how everybody seems to like different things and criticize different things. Some things still get criticized more than others, but there isn't any real agreement on which game is the best.
Also to just do a bit of analysing for you guys over those IGN reviews as to claim they are positive reviews is pretty far out.
IGN gave Sports Champions 7.5/10.
Eye Pet 8/10
Kung Fu Rider 3.5/10
Raquet Sports 4.5/10
and Tumble 3.5/10
Now the Eye Pet has been out for ages but let's keep it in there for the sake of arguments.
If you add up the launch titles for Move Ign gave it 27/50. To put that into % terms that is a overall score of 54%.
If you remove Eye Pet from it the total would be 19/40 or 47%.
That is not positive, that is pretty bad.
What is also quite weird about some of these reviews is they praise Move in some areas and the way it works but then contradict themselves in some of the game reviews by saying some of them don't detect your movements i.e Sports Champions. Which is pretty bad reviewing if you write in one article a few paragraphs saying how accurate it is only to say how un-accurate it is in the next one...
What a fad this has become

this doesn't need good reviews at all. It is bundled and it is a minigame collection. Wii Sports did not receive awesome reviews and it worked.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

It's only bundled in the US though, and it's only bundled with the Move and the Eye, so there are still a lot of people who can find reviews useful.
