PlayStation Eye Review

The camera is great with some of the family games out for it now. It seems to run lag free and very smooth. I tested this with a friend in video chat and we could see and hear each other without any problems. I do have to say this and trust me I am no fanboy but this camera with some games have kinect aspects. I was playing a game with an aquarium and could run my hand throw the water and touch the fish so I thought that was cool. As for the future of this I am excited to see what Move has in store.

Main review:

Concept design: It is a bit bulky and weird in shape but it works. I have dropped this a couple times but it works perfect still, take in the fact that I didn't drop this like 15 ft in the air, a good 5ft onto tile. It also has a nice tilt function so if you place the camera high up you can still aim the camera down.

Visual: For a simple camera it really does well at Hi-Res without any lag what so ever. But then again it does matter how much movement and how many objects are in the camera to pick up. As just one person playing casually it gets the job done. It is not that hard to focus you just need someone else to focus for you while you stay in the one spot, or just set an object in the desired aiming location and focus from there.

Audio: I have noticed that sometimes the noise cancelling technology doesn't work to well, but this is only minor. It does however pick up me sitting from 15ft away just fine without having to yell which is very nice.

Games: As of now there aren't a ton but Eye of Judgment this is a fun game if you like magic the gathering card game or just collecting cards. There are also some nice family games on the PSN to buy.

Overall: It is nice to have if you are looking to the future of gaming or just looking to chat and take pictures. It is sometimes better to buy the camera in a bundle pack though, if you like the game it comes with.
