1.2 - Well, welcome to gamedaily!
They are desesperate for hits. And I think it's the same guy saying that user created content is bad all over again. (No signature though... so again, not very credible).
Sure, any game can flop, but if Little Big Planet, Guitar Hero and Spore flop, it won't be because of user created content. People still play Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike today because of it. Sure there will be some junk, but I'll gladly sort through the junk for some fine jewels, rather than having to wait and pay for the odd dev map/mod/creature anydays.
They got my hit again today, hoping I would find an intelligent article, but dang, it's still the good old Gamedaily piece of s....

lol come on. You know that when the title is "Big Games, Big Trouble" and the first game on the list is LBP, is clear that all they're looking for are hits.

Strange that they can slag off LBP, when it's clearly the most imaginative, innovative game of this generation, then say that Dead Space could well be game of the year ?, i'm not having a go at Dead Space, i think it looks quite good but it's another survival horror adventure, LBP is something completely different.

5.1 - but don't you know?
gamers don't WANT new and fresh, they want the same old FPS and Madden year after year after year.
it's all lip service to say "we want something NEW!" these days.
i've only been peripherally following Dead Space since it was announced, but i'm certainly interested in it. there's just too many games coming out in the last 5 months of the year for me to get them all, so i'm really, REALLY picking and choosing which titles i pick up. the month of October alone is wallet-crushing for me.
oh yeah, and i HATE gamedaily. what a waste of bandwidth that site is.

I totally agree. We should have the right to vote and and if enough votes come in, a site should be banned.
They did a great job cleaning up N4G, but that would be another step in the right direction...

Honestly, this list is total dreck.
Not because I don't want to hear bad things about these games--there are already too many sites that don't offer real critical analysis in their previews--but because they squandered the opportunity to point out potential legitimate potential faults in these games, instead falling back on hollow, superficial criticisms. LBP is an interactive PowerPoint? Honestly? They don't like Star Wars storylines? Well, sure, but what about, you know, gameplay? City Folk is just GC AC with voice chat and an auction house? Uh, ok.
Any of those three games might turn out to be totally underwhelming, but for legitimate gameplay reasons, not for the reasons they listed.

LBP looks to be masterful work and something beautifully innovative and fresh
Will people fully appreciate all that hard work? to fully become fun it looks like possibly a lot needs to be contributed and even if there are a ton on already made levels, is this something that will wear thin once the player has gotten used to the novelty of it all
It doesn't fall into the usual and that can often lead to a lack of interest for people
Nobody should be questioning this title's quality i don't think but is this what the majority of gamers will want
Has innovation ever truly helped gain a mass acceptence of any particular game or indeed is it what the average player wants from it's games
This is just the sort of thing i expect from Sony and i think in this respect they do a better job than MS.Games these days have grown a little tiresome and LBP is wonderfully unique.That said i just wouldn't have time to fart about with it and unfortunately that may just be what a lot of others think.A shame then but certainly a possibilty
It deserves to do very well though

It is exciting to see this guy's ignorance and lack of understanding!
- Invite your friends to explore your levels(!)
- Nothing more than a glorified PowerPoint presentation(!)
- Once we're inside a level, now what?(!)
- Great, we made it from point A to point B! (what on Earth in life cannot be contributed to going from A to B?)
They have been laughed at, ridiculed and criticized by many other professional sites for such content.
LittleBigPlanet is not that hard to understand unless (like the writer) you only saw the E3 conference for a synopsis.

12 - I can't believe game daily basically copied and pasted a different feature for lbp
http://www.gamedaily.com/ar...
"To hear some journalists talk, Sony's LittleBigPlanet will become the reason to purchase the system. We say, "Hold on to your cash." Despite the cute characters, this is nothing more than a glorified version of PowerPoint fueled by gamers hoping to make their own "presentations". Talented players will create interesting and perhaps fun designs. Everyone else will make horrible levels. If you could design several stages, string them together and make your own platform game, that'd be cool, but for now, all we foresee is tons of crap content."
"In a video game industry full of sequels, LittleBigPlanet is one of the year's most original offerings, and both journalists and Sony continue to gush over it like a busted vein. Look, we get it. You construct your own levels and then invite your friends to explore them. Neat concept, but this is nothing more than a glorified PowerPoint presentation. A select few will make grand designs, but most will flood the online community with crap content. Besides, once we're inside a level, now what? Great, we made it from point A to point B. Now give us back our 10 minutes."
OMG, they even wrote the same exact line.

The massive fail radiating from this article has little to do with the fact that they have a bunch of PS3 games up there in my opinion. Their idiotic reasoning for many of the games on the list is what kills any shred of credibility they may have had left.
LittleBigPlanet
How is it that a platformer is a 'glorified power point presentation'? That's the dumbest bit of criticism I've yet to see a site make in regards to this game. Even saying that the controls are too difficult at least sounds somewhat reasonable. But this just makes them sound they they know about as much about video games as most parents. I don't even need to say anything more about this one. Anyone who's not blind can see the stupidity here.
Dead Space
You CAN pause the game as another comment already pointed out. You just can't access the iventory and stuff that way. Again it shows their lack of research. It's pitiful really.
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Yes, the fact that you can create your own songs is a bummer. They should have at least just given you 3 sounds to choose from to make it more simple. As we all know... all user generated content sucks. More options = bad. /sarcasm
Spore
Too much variety. ALWAYS a valid argument. -_-
Socom: Confrontation
OMG guyz itz a tactile shoot3r! Where's DE aleins?! WTF?!
My God, the site is run by morons, that's all I can say. No these can't be gamers. I won't believe it.

Being picked on so much from a site as garbage as this has to make you think that this is the biggest form of flattery there can be, I mean if LBP was under the radar we won't be seeing this much bashing, right?
