Walking around the busy Shibuya area today, I saw massive retail displays at major shops like Bic Camera and Tsutaya. Here's a sampling..."
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.
Sony seems to do a lot of in your face advertising in their homeland. Kind of reminds me of Halo's marketing in the states. Hopefully, Sony can do the same worldwide.
All the 360s get shipped to America from here on!
and thats why it will continue to grow beyond what the x360 is able to.
ad was funny and creepy. I hope SOny will do better than that. What they need to show is games, specifically FF13 in Japan as much as possible.
I hope Sony continues to sell really well from now on. Just as long as their ads don't cause stampedes of people rushing to get a PS3 all is well.
