Tweet There have been some moments in gaming history when we've had our hopes and dreams smashed against the rocks of "what the hell?" The EyeToy was one such moment, as was "You're in the Movies" on the Xbox 360. Start the Party! can be filed in the...

Start the Party! bears all the hallmarks of a demo game, if anything it should be bundled with the Move controllers to give a taste of what sort of things it will do: to ask £29.99 seems wrong...

We’re miserable gamers. Now that’s been said, it should probably be noted that Start The Party! is not intended for such people – your little sister, maybe, but not grumpy cynics like ourselves. For people who deem themselves ‘serious gamers’, you may...

Start The Party! is one of three PlayStation Move only launch games that’ll be available on day one. It’s also the only one which feels compelled to include an exclamation mark in the title, which says a lot. Was our inbuilt bad game Spider sense r...

The problem with owning lots of 'party' video games is that gatherings are then always at your place - hence, you've usually got the job of tidying up before everyone arrives, and then tidying up again after they've left. Thanks to Start the Party, we...

Let's get something out of the way right away: Start the Party is not a game for grownups. If you go into it expecting that, you'll be sorely disappointed. That should be obvious given it's an E rated party game with a child on the cover, but I just...

Much like the EyeToy: Play games that were released for the PlayStation 2, Start the Party is a collection of minigames that you play by moving your arms around in front of the TV. The main difference here is that the PS2 games required only an EyeToy...

With its added exclamation mark, you'd expect Start The Party! to spontaneously generate a shindig whenever you fire up the PS3, but in reality Start The Party! would be more likely to generate a scrap with your guests if you ever put it on at a get-to...
It’s an effective demonstration of the possibilities of Move, as there is virtually no lag between your movements and what is relayed back on screen, and left us virtually salivating at the possibilities for future Move release. But as a mid-priced gam...

To this day, a derisive descriptor for most Wii titles would be, "it's like Game X, but with waggle!" It's pretty stupid and lazy, and definitely fits the "snarky forum quip" category more than the "reasonable critique" one, but on occasion, it's bruta...
