If you remember, most Wii games have the security warning that shows us how to use our controllers properly. Warning shows us that we need to place the safety wristband on and keep the distance from other players or objects. Now, we got interesting instructions for PlayStation Move so let us check it out. First thing that you should know when playing with PlayStation Move is to keep distance from objects and other people as well as babies. In addition, it is not recommended to use your Move controller against the Master Chief but you are advised to use it on cyborgs. Besides that, try not to pop some balloons when playing with Move controller because you will get one sad kid. Also, try to avoid multiple objects and self-destruct buttons if you do not want to damage your controller that way. Last thing, Move controller does not work on vampires, so if you are trying to kill a vampire make sure that you use a wooden steak. Of course, this is not an official instruction; this one is made just for fun so feel free to check it out.

What games should I look at getting? As a intro to PS3 & Consoles in general?.
