Last night at their GDC press conference Sony not only officially unveiled the PlayStation Move, they also proceeded to showcase a variety of upcoming first-party games that would support the device. But what about third-party support? What other companies will be developing games for the Move? Sony has answered that question by providing a list of developers signed on to create software with the move in mind, and the list is impressive indeed.

That's 36 companies who are going to be in the Move's corner right out of the gate, not too shabby. Of course, there are still some big name holdouts such as Take-Two, Bethesda and BioWare, but they seem to make pretty great games for standard controllers, so we won't complain. So now you've had some time to digest all this news about the Move, what do you think? Is Sony really upping the ante on motion controls, or is this just a black Wiimote with a glowing ball on the end?
