Top Eight better names for PlayStation Move

Opinion

Gavin Mackenzie

Alright, so the name sums up what it’s all about and stuff, but it’s not very imaginative, is it? Fortunately, I have an extremely fertile imagination that just loves to make up names for things, so I’ve come up with my own shortlist of names. Sony’s gonna read this and think, “Damn! Why did we call it Move when we could have gone with any of these brilliant suggestions?” Never mind Sony. Maybe next time.

Top Eight better names for PlayStation Move

I was at least expecting two words wedged together with a capital letter in the middle in the middle like PlayStation, DualShock, EyeToy, MultiTap, MagicGate and so on. But no, it’s just Move.
