Three new PS3 games

Titled Brave Arms, Chain Limit and Second: Season 01 (episodic?), apparently they're being developed by Cellius, the company recently formed as a joined venture between Sony and Namco with a goal of producing software that would maximize the capabilities of the Cell processor. As far as the visuals go, I wouldn't say that's what these new games do, but they all sound potentially interesting. You can see the first screenshots and read more about them here.

They all use similar context-sensitive interfaces which, surprisingly, make them look a lot like adventures. In Chain Limit, for instance, you select a screen hotspot with one stick and then choose an appropriate action with another. It's all well illustrated in the screenshots.

I hope we learn more about them soon as right now the details are a little sketchy. How much direct control over the movement of your character would you have in Chain Limit, for instance? Also, do you think Peter Jackson had something like this in mind when he talked about filmic game experiences at X06?

Sound a tad "Dragon's Lair" -ish.

Limited interaction.

That's what I thought of Chain Limit as well. But it seems the other two games should also have exploration elements or at least offer some kind of direct control.
