Tumble Reviews

Hand Painted Dog — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 15:27:42 +0000

Earlier this year we got to work on a very exciting PlayStation Move title called “Tumble” for Supermassive Games. Well, Tumble has now been released and we’re very pleased to report that it is getting some absolutely fantastic reviews!

Gaming Age gave Tumble an “A” rating and said

“you can be assured to have a white knuckled good time either single player or multiplayer with this little gem”

Joystiq gave it 4.5 stars and called it one of their “must-have launch games“. Talking about using the move controller in the game they said

“It’s so accurate and responsive that I had a little trouble using a 2D form of input – my MacBook’s trackpad – immediately after playing”

Eurogamer gave it 8/10 and called it

“frustrating in the best kind of way: tough enough to have you sighing or swearing, but constantly encouraging you to have another go”

and finally Game Informer also gave it 8/10 and said that

“the variety of unique, mind-bending challenges offered in this upcoming PSN title makes Tumble one of the more desirable Move launch games to date”

If you’ve got five minutes you should check out the full reviews, or better yet, buy the game!

Huge congratulations to the team at Supermassive Games, they’ve done an amazing job on Tumble and we’re really proud to have been involved.

Start the Party Reviews

Hand Painted Dog — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 16:02:45 +0000

Back in 2008 we got to work with Supermassive Games on one of the PlayStation Move launch titles that they were developing; Start the Party. With the PlayStation Move now launched and Start the Party released the reviews are starting to come in and it’s good news!

Gaming Age called it “polished and eye catching” and “a neat example of augmented reality technology used in gaming”. PlayStation LifeStyle said “Start the Party does what the title says it will, and makes for side-splitting, goofy fun time with friends and family” and Kombo said that it was “…so much fun that it is wholly possible to play solo and laugh out loud with nobody else in the room, house or entire street block”.

Congratulations to the team at Supermassive Games!
