Aaron takes a look at Sonys cutesy motion controlled virtual furball, the EyePet…
The EyeToy was an impressive piece of tech when it first arrived.

Once hes hatched, the game soon opens up.
The result is impressive when it works, that is.

However, the limitations of the medium are still all too present.
In fact, even the initial task of warming the egg is a chore, even for adults.
Sadly, the core controls are not the only problems.
