Sunday is Mother's Day. Instead of getting her flowers or a cheap card, why not get Mom into gaming? Cassidee from Leviathyn.com gives us a rundown of ten games any Mom can get into.
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.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
The Mario Kart TAG Heuer Formula 1 Watch, a collaboration between TAG Heuer and Nintendo, is a blend of high-end watchmaking and iconic video game nostalgia.
Cool cool, can I get a plastic little watch that when you push a button you hear a "wahoo"? I can't afford to waste 4k on a watch right now, but maybe later.
Most I ever got my mom to play was Wii Sports and even then it was just the bowling.
My mom stopped playing games with me when I was six and I told her that the Super Nintendo controller "was too complicated" for her.
Six-year-old me ruined it for current me. What a brat.
My mom is addicted to angry birds and fruit ninja. She started gaming at age 50; and to think that we've had a console in the house since the early days of the Sega master system ( she refers to every gaming console I've own as "a nintendo"), tsk tsk tsk. She does enjoy some motion controlled games, she's a total sucker for casual gaming, hehe.
Sadly even Fruit Ninja gives her anxiety, though she likes to play the classic Resident Evil.
my mom doesn't know a thing about video games. When she comes into my room, I tell her to look at this cutscene, she looks at it and says " it looks like every other game you play"... apparently every game looks the same to her lol
