Most PlayStation VR owners now have a set of PlayStation Move controllers. Sure, they can use them to play great games like Job Simulator (and mediocre ones like Loading Human), but there just are not a ton of great games that use the controllers yet on PlayStation 4. There’s a pretty affordable solution to that, though. We’d suggest investing $10 or less on a PlayStation Eye camera for PS3 and checking out some PlayStation Move games you may have missed.
Yes, there actually were some solid games released on PS3 that were made substantially better by PlayStation Move. The motion controller may have been a temporary bust, but it left behind a solid collection of games (and some really weird ones like Kung Fu Rider) that weren’t just mini-games (although Sports Champions and its sequel are pretty darn cool). It certainly didn’t rival the Wii’s software library, but it’s not one to be ignored either.
So, if you’re looking for more motion controlled fun then check out our list of 10 PlayStation Move games actually worth playing below!
We hope you enjoyed our look at PlayStation Move games actually worth playing. While we only put the spotlight on 10 titles, there are several others that are at least worth renting or picking up cheap. Even bad games like Kung Fu Rider offer up some entertaining laughs, and will make you question how it managed to see a retail release.
Let us know in the comments what your favorite PlayStation Move games are!

PlayStation Move Games That Are Actually Worth Playing
-
Child of Eden
Fans of Rez will want to pick up Child of Eden as soon as possible. The Ubisoft published title was directed by Mizuguchi, and is a direct sequel to the cult classic. Similar to its predecessor, Child of Eden isn't a very long game, but it's certainly one worth playing.
-
Datura
Bound developer Plastic always makes unique games and say what you will about Datura, it's certainly unique. This first-person adventure game has players making choices and exploring interesting environments throughout. It may not be the best game on this list, but it certainly is one of the weirdest.
-
Echochrome II
The sequel to echochrome is a lot different from the original, as it has players using the Move controller as a flashlight and using shadows to help its protagonist reach its destination. Things quickly get more complicated than that, but the puzzle design stays great throughout. If you're willing to think, then make sure to play this.
-
Johann Sebastian Joust
Johann Sebastian Joust is certainly the most unique PlayStation Move game ever made, but it's also easily the best. Players attempt to be the last person standing by keeping their Move controllers still and messing with their opponents' controllers. Music by the famous composer plays in the background and indicates how much players can move without being eliminated, and sometimes the action escalates to the point that chairs are being thrown. What a game.
-
No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise
No More Heroes was one of the most interesting games on Wii, so it's no surprise that it's great with PlayStation Move as well. This action game has a pretty crazy story, and looks great on PS3 as it sports improved visuals. The only downside is that players will have to switch back to Wii to play its superior sequel.
-
Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection
Fans of Resident Evil's over-the-top lore will want to play Resident Evil Chronicles HD Collection, which contains the two rail shooters that originally came out on Wii. Both of these shooters let players relive iconic events from previous RE games, and adds in some fresh perspective. It's a love letter to the series, and any fan should check it out.
-
Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves
Free for PlayStation Plus subscribers, this LittleBigPlanet spin-off has two players cooperating to solve puzzle-filled levels. One uses a PlayStation Move controller to interact with the environment, while the other uses a DualShock 3 to move Sackboy. It's certainly a unique take on a familiar formula, and one worth checking out.
-
Sorcery
One of the most ambitious PlayStation Move games was Sorcery. This action game has the player wielding several types of magic (which are naturally cast with the Move controller) and going through an actual campaign. Unlike so many other games that were made for the peripheral, this is a full-fledged title, not a proof-of-concept. Definitely play this if you want a meatier experience.
-
Time Crisis: Razing Storm
While there are a lot of rail-shooters that support PlayStation Move, Time Crisis: Razing Storm is the best of the bunch (sorry Dead Space and House of the Dead). It actually features three titles: Time Crisis 4, Razing Storm, and Deadstorm Pirates. All three are solid shooters, and this is one package where players definitely get their money's worth.
-
Tumble
While there is now a VR version out, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Supermassive Games' Tumble, which was the highlight of the PlayStation Move's launch. This stacking game is fantastic fun, so it's great to see it get a follow-up after so long. Definitely check it out on PS3 or PS4.
