Gaming 3.0?
Check out this game 'LittleBigPlanet, that was shown last month at the Game Developers Conference. It is generating quite a bit of buzz. Celine Llewellyn-Jones highlighted it on her blog here.
I found this quote about it on Kotaku, a popular gaming site (recent news on the Sony PSP price drop and rumors of the PSP2 generated dozens and dozens of comments) especially enticing...
The game they showed was LittleBigPlanet, a user designed playground, a make-your-own-platformer tool, an actual game with deep physics that looks beautiful and shockingly fun to play. If you really need comparisons, the game is like Line Rider meets Garry's Mod meets Super Mario Bros. meets an orgasm.
Between this new game and the recently announced Home by Sony for the new Playstation 3 (described as a cross between Second Life and the PS3, free, and set for beta this month) I'll just have to add the Playstation 3 to my list of dream acquisitions, behind the Xbox 360 for which I'm waiting for the game Crysis to give me the extra little 'gotta have it' momentum. Hmmm. In looking for a good link to the Crysis game, I learned that Crysis isn't planned to come out on the Xbox 360 because the graphics won't be good enough! It will be out on the PC using new DirectX 10. Wow. Should be impressive. Better add a new PC to the list...
