It's not ideal but at least those without move controllers can try it. **\r\n\r\nCultivate a magnificent bonsai without the many years of hard work. I went more with the growing theme, although the game does technically only use 1 button and a trigger. Use your PlayStation Move controller to cultivate six beautiful bonsai trees. There are no win conditions besides the reward of your own creations. Enjoy.\r\n\r\n** REQUIRES A PLAYSTATION MOVE CONTROLLER TO PLAY **\r\nIf you have a PlayStation Move controller, but have never used it on a PC before then you need to pair it to the PC. To do this go to PS Move API [http:\/\/thp.io\/2010\/psmove\/] website and in the downloads section find the binary for your OS. Once downloaded connect the controller via USB, and run the file psmovepair. Then simply follow the instructions. You should now be able to unplug the USB and connect by pressing the PlayStation button.","title":"Express Bonsai Cultivator"}
