"Twiggy", PushSquare: "You've been waiting to hear what I thought about E3 2009 and here it is: everyone did great; except Ubisoft. Seriously though, I thoroughly enjoyed Microsoft, Nintendo and, of course, Sony's press conferences. They all had a little something to offer to whet the appetite. The Beatles: Rock Band was a perfect opener for Microsoft, which actually blew away any scepticism I had for that game. I think Metroid: Other M looks absolutely phenomenal. And as for Sony, well, I think their motion controller was the best example of a motion controller I've seen - including Project Natal and Wii Motion Plus."
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.
... With a passion!
yeah right you guys are full of crap. You aren't hardcore if you gonna make ridiculous comments like that.
They must've not gotten the message but Natal isn't just motion controlling.
If Sony sent out such a fierce message why is Natal still the most talked about thing on this damn site.
Mostly positive but filled with people bashing of course.
Not 1 thing Sony showed at E3 has hit the surface besides the games we've known of already.
Kratos ripping a Head Off is Sony's highlight of the week.
Innovation. Sony is committed to bringing true next gen gaming experience. And to do this, they will innovate and transform the gaming industry. It is clear year in and year out, that Sony is the true industry leader.
Since the launch of the PS3, Sony has given us Little Big Planet, Home, 60 vs 60 players (soon to be 256), an ever evolving PSN network, superior Blu Ray format and games that are technically lightyears ahead of the competition. Games that can only be done on the PS3.
It is clear to anyone in this industry that Sony has changed gaming to a new level much like Nintendo.
Where as Nintendo has changed gaming by being the first to introduce motion sensing controls, Nintendo has opened the gates for the casual market to enter the "nerdy" imagine of the gaming industry.
The only one that has failed to deliver anything, is Microsoft. Microsoft has arguably hit rock bottom, as its failed dirty tactics are not working and the more and more people see them for what they are: a big fat LIE.
If Nintendo wii did for gaming what the 8bit Nintendo console did, then Sony will do for gaming what the 16bit Snes console did.
Microsoft meanwhile seems like the 32DX add on for the Megadrive that will flop all around.
EDIT:
Also for those idiots and xbots like spoonymage who completely missed the point of the writings: they wrote something on paper not for the sake of writing something but to demonstrate the milimeter accuracy of their technology. Something NEITHER MS nor Nintendo has at the moment.
Also, Sonys motion project may not be the most talked about right now, but the kits are already at the hands of the developers right now. Just like with all Sony Triple A exclusives, their games will do the talking for them.
All bots are owned and are right to fear the PS3. We told you last year: the PS3 was just warming up. Wait till you see 2009, wait till you see 2010. Wait till you see 2011.
We tried to warn you. But did you idiots listen? Haha hell no. Arrogance and stupidity are the two well known xbot characteristics.
Here is another warning, bots.
You thought PS3 2009 is to be feared? Wait till you see 2010 and 2011.
