It's too bad about Lair, because on paper it's a great game: you fly around on the backs of dragons, wreaking havoc on your enemy. You get the sense that there's a great back story to this game, but you'll never learn it because you'll never get past the first frustrating hour. The problem is that Sony Computer Entertainment's Factor 5 developers wanted to use the PS3's Sixaxis gyroscopic motion sensor to control the flight of the dragon, and it just doesn't work. You wave your arms all over the place trying to get your dragon to fly where you want it to, but more often than not it just flits around like a firefly. With the perspective dodging around at the same time, you become dizzy within minutes. It really is too bad.
