Little Big Planet

If you haven’t found a reason to buy PlayStation 3 yet, LittleBigPlanet by Media Molecule might just be it. Originally titled Craft-World, the emphasis is on creativity – players can build their own levels and customise any character or object within the game using simple modelling tools, then share them on the PlayStation Network. The characters can then co-operate or compete to complete the obstacle course. All the objects are made of real world materials and obey the laws of physics so there’s no script or one solution for solving a problem. The felt trees and rag-doll heroes give the game a warm, fuzzy feel and this demo also has an apt choice of music – it’s The Go Team!

Also, don’t miss the other great demo of the modelling tools shown at GDC this year.
