It was never going to be easy outfoxing Microsoft, but PlayStation Network director of operations Eric Lempel thinks Sony's made a solid start to its online venture. Here he discusses online strategy, execution, and why PSN's destined to become a tool of destruction in the console war.
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.
Memo to sony we want to do it ingame no quiting to the bloody XMB its pointless having to quit agmes to read a message.. We also want to be able to click on a friend and join their game from anywhere its really basic stuff nothing new..
All i want is standard functionality across all games at present it seems like its left to each developer to add functions into the game they shoudlnt have to it should all be there anyway..
If sony ever get this stuff sorted out (as well as achievements, sounds like they are on it from the interview) i will happily buy all my multiplatform games on my ps3
Sony should look a lot more at XBL and if they can take some great stuff from it and add their own things like HOME, than we have a winner.
probably something they've already done. The key for them though is not to emulate Live, but to create a unique experience to drive traffic to the PS3. Copying Live just won't do that and does not make sense.
i get a message while playing a game.. especially when u just quit the game to read it, and it only says "hey"...
But o well, I think that sony is gonna step it up in 2008, seeing as how they started this year :P
PSN sucks Xbox live is a million times better so stop sucking Sony's c@ck Sony tards and Jump In.
