Who wants to talk about 2007 anymore? That is so last year. Of course, gamers are probably hoping that 2008 is the new 2007 since the just-finished year was such a monumental one for the medium. Between unprecedented gameplay in BioShock and unprecedented sales for Halo 3, not to mention Mario in space, Call of Duty in modern times and a playable rhythm game version of Faith No More's "Epic," the past 12 months have left us all flying high. But what is the ever-growing segment of joystick-waggling, button-mashing folks out there to do now that calendars have been replaced with ones bearing a new number? Start arguing over which titles will top "best of" lists for 2008 of course!
Lumping all of the established coming sequels into a single category, UGO details 10 other spin-offs and all-new IPs to watch for in 2008. Feature by Adam Rosenberg.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
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.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Enuff already!!!
that list seems about right.
Personally, Im really hoping hoping for Alan Wake, Too Human and Fable 2.
