The Graphyte

Little big Planet is Sony's newly unveiled secret weapon this year, along with using it as a serious Powerpoint presentation during E3 to introduce its Fall lineup. Once again proving simplicity is always best, by design and by concept, though little big planet offers more then just a few customizable bean bag sacks. The game is unexpectedly deep as you can either choose to play through the developers initial level design, or create your own world, using the same options that the creators had in there tool box when drawing up the levels. The editor is simple and yet extremely deep, providing an almost endless combination of different worlds which can be uploaded and shared with other users online. Sony has had a slow start since launch, and a pretty dry batch of games, there exclusive titles have had very little to offer as well as there online shop.

A few months back they realized that Microsoft had the right idea by providing a multitude of options online in and in comparison they now both offer movies for download as well as past games for the past systems. Though Microsoft has had quite a head start in the network department, and they seemed to get it right, once out of the gate, bare in mind the hardware was more of an issue with faulty systems and a notorious red ring of death, which I experienced late last year. The PS3 is on the slow and steady with a new lineup this year and this game definitely sets the tone for online play as well as innovation. The "Little Big Planet" intro clip is below.
