The Game Developers Conference was a bit of a letdown. Sony didn't use the GDC to make any announcements like the much anticipated in-game XMB addition or the official phasing out of the 80GB PS3 for a larger model.
Heck, there wasn't even a keynote. Sony gave PS3 News no PlayStation 3 news to talk about.
But that's all behind us now, so it's back to waiting for what's in store this year...most importantly Home.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Why is it so difficult to include ingame XMB?Seriously now...
AHHHHH
I guess we didn't get any more from Nintendo either.
E3 next...
Not even private chat... Well you better hope your buddy is playing the same game as you if you want to carry on a conversation.
We would have seen a blowout of information at GDC, because if not, then when? They still have to release the open beta. My bet is that Home won't be ready until holiday season of this year. Maybe 2008 won't be that great for PS3 as Gran Turismo, Killzone and Final Fantasy seem to be delayed until 2009. Maybe even Resident Evil 5.
