Games Radar Previews Trials of Topoq

Games Radar previews Trials of Topoq in their latest PlayStation 3 post. Here is how they describe it:

We've been busy putting The PlayStation Eye through its paces again. First we played with tropical fish, and now we've been delicately pushing a ball over tiles in Trails of Topoq.

But this is not as simple as it sounds. Each tile is made us of a series of tiny squares that can be individually raised and lowered to create slopes and ramps, or any other shape you care to make with your body.

Starting off with simple tasks involving collecting boxes and getting to the exit, it soon becomes a lot more of a challenge with the edition of titling platforms and a ticking clock.

While it’s easy to complete the first few routes by simply moving your hands, you’ll find yourself becoming a lot more active as the game progresses. The later levels certainly had us rushing around the room as we tried to keep the metal sphere from falling into oblivion.

Trails of Topoq will be the first PlayStation Network game to fully utilise the PlayStation Eye. And if this is an example of things to come, we can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Great preview guys, view a video at the source link.

PlayStation Eye Game: Trials of Topoq Revealed in London

While PS3Fanboy was at Sony's 3Rooms Brand in London, they noticed a new game attached to a PlayStation Eye. It is called Trials of Topoq. Here is how PS3Fanboy described the game:

The game requires you to move the ball around the different layers of each castle, breaking open cages as you go. Each level has a different task, including getting to the end within a time limit and breaking a certain amount of cages before reaching the finish line. Crossbows can be found around the levels which, when the ball is rolled into it, will shoot you to a hidden area of the level.

The ball is not moved via the analogue stick, nor the SIXAXIS. Instead, the floor of the castle shows an image of what the PlayStation Eye can see. By moving your arms (or any other part of you, really) you affect the height of the floor temporarily. The idea is to create slopes to guide the ball around and collect the items (or "smash the cages" as the game calls it) whilst making yourself look like a prat in the process.

Seems like a promising new PlayStation 3 game. We can only wait till the future for more screenshots.
