LittleBigPlanet
 

One of the PS3 games I'm most excited about is a beautiful little game from an English developer populated by ex-Lionhead Studios employees, Media Molecule. The game in question? LittleBigPlanet.

It's a side-scrolling, platformy type game where you play a little sack boy running through levels (multiplayer, of course) collecting bits of sponge. Doesn't sound like much, does it? Maybe becuase I've neglected to mention the key point... EVERYTHING IS ENTIRELY CUSTOMISABLE ON THE FLY. Not only that, but the game itself is the champion of user-created content. The player can build a level and upload it to PSN for others to download and play. The in-game tools for doing this, named "pop-it", are very simple to use, and extremely effective.

Rather than have me harp on about this and that, here are various articles and videos of the game.

Oh, and did I mention, the graphics are some of the best I've ever seen!

I saw a preview for that in last month's EGM, but didn't really read much about it as the screens they included looked goofy at best. I may have to delve deeper.

It looks childish and goofy, and to some extent it is, but it's still awesomeness.
