Rob Rich Writes: My history with the Monkey Island series has been a little less typical than most. You see, despite my uber-geek tendencies I’d never heard of Guybrush Threepwood, Elaine Marley or the Ghost Pirate LeChuck until a friend introduced me to The Curse of Monkey Island when I was in high school. To this day I’m eternally grateful to him.
Fast-forward to today and I’ve just completed Telltale Games’ attempt at creating the eagerly-anticipated fifth game. I’ll spare you the details but suffice it to say it took me a while to finally get around to playing it. I tried the computer version but couldn’t get past the garbage controls. Thankfully the PSN version is much more user-friendly. Of course, there’s still the little matter of just how well Telltale handled the legendary adventure series. Sure they did fine with the crime fighting dog and bunny-thing duo, but Monkey Island is holy ground for a lot of folks.
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.
