Looking to pick one up. Thought my 3 yr old would dig the Aquatopia game...
I'd like this thread to contain Eye Toy Game reviews and comments on said reviews only please. Thanks.

I've had my PS eye for about as long as i've had the PS3, aquatopia isn't really a game, but it will keep your attention for a while, there is a monster game on it that uses hand motions to move monsters, my nephew (6yrs old) loves to play it, i've actually used the eye alot for the mic that it has, which compared to other mics on headsets is really good
It also comes with free downloadable software to make and edit videos, take pictures and record sound bits, and there is other content they are working on for the eye that looks really cool, out of a yay or a nay, i would give it a yay:thumbsup:

Got mine a few weeks ago. Aqua Vita is... well... an aquarium, not much I can say other than that. EyeCreate is a pretty sweet little package for your basic video/photo/sound capture needs. And Trials of Topoq is a must have if you enjoy getting frustrated so much that it reminds you of those long lost days gone by of falling off the board on Marble Madness.
The best reason to buy this gadget, however, is quite simply the in-built microphone. It picks up the most dominant sound within (from my testing) about a 15ft range with perfect clarity. It's already replaced my headset.
Oh, don't buy that japanese interactive art thingy either (I know that's not the greatest description but can't remember the name).

Get the Playstation Eye, not the EyeToy (I'm sure that's what you meant).
I got Aquatopia. It's pretty to look at and (slightly) interactive... it's not so much fun for small kids as the interaction is quite subtle (ie. as you walk by your TV, a small school of fish might follow you or even scatter away from you... you can also splash the top of the water and somehow feed them; I haven't consistently been able to do this).
I bought Mesmerize (the first pack, not the 2nd one) and my kids like that better. It's basically just a glorified PS Eye tech demo. They use movements and sound to manipulate things on screen... there are several "modes". It's like the Playroom on EyeToy Play... no games, just special effects to tinker with on your TV.
Definitely download (the free) EyeCreate software. It's not phenomenal or anything, but my kids absolutely dig some of the effects in there such as mirror and (I think) jitter. My kids will spend as long as I let them recording goofy videos and playing them back.
