Sony unveils fresh EyeToy games News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

Swords for boys, pom poms for girls.

Sony has unveiled a fancy EyeToy game for children that comes with its very own sword peripheral.

Dubbed EyeToy: Heroes, it will see you attempting to save the world by saving a cheerleader. Or more accurately, it will allow youngsters to muck about with a sword peripheral.

Sony Europe boss David Reeves did the unveiling at the just-this-minute-finished Sony PlayStation Day conference.

He also lifted the lid on a game called EyeToy: Pom Pom Party, which he said was obviously "for those girls with a passion for pom pom shaking".

"for those girls with a passion for pom pom shaking". Who says only girls want to play with pom poms? Maybe the boys want a go. Whats so wrong about a 25 year old man dressing up as a cheerleader and using them? Stop looking at me like that! I'm not on trial here!!

I thought they would be PS3 titles but the Eyetoy name confused me.

According to Kotaku they are both PS2 games.

So does this have anything to do with the series Heroes? Too much of a coincidence...

EyeToy was around years (6 odd years ago?) before Wii with games like EyeToy Play and Kinetic, doing all the things Wii is now ripping off... Surprised they can fit a late comer in...

You'd think that Sony would be wanting to invest a lot more into EyeToy than these crappy games, to take on the Wii.

And boys LOVE pompoms, at least all the boys I hang out with...
