We tickle the plastic keys to Canada's national anthem in Easy Piano. Nothing in life is easy, especially when it comes to learning a musical instrument. In place of weekly lessons in the home of your neighborhood piano teacher, Easy Piano on the Nintendo DS teaches you the basics of sight-reading music and comes bundled with a few games to keep your attention. Your chances of becoming a virtuoso after completing the game's 10 lessons are slim, but repetition and the desire to expand to a full-sized keyboard after you're through with Easy Piano could lead to a longer-lasting musical career.

We put the PlayStation Move through its paces in Sports Champions' Gladiator Duel mode. Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation Move at an event in San Francisco this afternoon, and when the presentation was over, those of us in attendance were invited to check out some of the Move-compatible games. One of those games was Sony's answer to Nintendo's Wii Sports, which currently goes by the working title Sports Champions. It's not yet clear how many different sports will be featured in the game, but those that we know about include golf, archery, bocce ball, table tennis, beach volleyball, and gladiator duel. That last one doesn't necessarily seem like it belongs given that gladiators of this sort haven't been thought of as sportsmen in some time. Regardless, gladiator duel was the sport being shown, and we wasted no time entering the arena armed with a Move controller in each hand. Game Spot Previews

We learned how to cut hair, collect chicks and swat flies in PlayStation Move's first party game. As sure as night follows day, Sony was bound to announce a party game for its new PlayStation Move controller. Move Party is that title, and it consists of a series of minigames that can be played by up to four players. They're the sort of games that you'd expect to see in an EyeToy title, but when you're playing with the PlayStation Move, the controls feel much more accurate than with the camera alone.

We grab the PlayStation Move and its sub-controller to shoot down soldiers in the slums level of Zipper Interactive's upcoming action game. Sony's PlayStation Move launch at GDC 2010 wasn't all about family fun and minigame compilations. There was a surprise announcement that core gamers wouldn't be ignored thanks to the inclusion of Move support in the recently announced SOCOM 4. We grabbed our Move and hunkered down behind enemy lines to see just how motion controls would be incorporated into this upcoming shooter. Game Spot Previews

We face off against endless waves of terrorists and learn a thing or two about stealth in Conviction's new multiplayer mode. While we've already seen what the first 20 minutes of Sam Fisher's latest adventure has to offer, publisher Ubisoft has kept many of the new multiplayer modes away from our grubby little mitts. One such mode is Last Stand, which is Conviction's take on the endless-wave gameplay featured in Gears of War 2's Horde mode and Halo: ODST's Firefight mode. We spent some time with the new mode to see if it shares the same addictive quality as its forebears. Game Spot Previews
