Been reading about this in a few places and it's sounding interesting to me.

In Echochrome II, the premise is abstract but surprisingly easy to grasp. You use the PlayStation Move wand to shine a light on a series of white blocks. By casting shadows on the wall behind the blocks, players must create a shadowy path for the game's silent, wandering hero to walk over. The player's only task is to help the silhouette reach the end goal.
I dug Echochrome II right from the start, as the gameplay is as easy as pointing the Move wand at the screen, yet challenging in that you're working with a very abstract principle. For example, some of the levels have hidden goals, which can only be revealed when the shadows form a certain shape. These shapes are usually hinted at in the level's title, like "A Smile Brings You Good Luck." In this level, you need to shine the light to form a smiling face out of the shadows. Once this is done, the exit door appears.
Echochrome II looks to be a great evolution of the original puzzle game, and one that will make good (albeit subtle) use of the PlayStation Move wand.
