Man I love Sony but COME ON GUYS!

In a statement made earlier today head Sony Computer Entertainment honcho Kaz Hirai revealed that the Sony Motion Controller would be delayed until Fall/Autumn 2010. In my opinion Sony are about to shoot themselves squarely in the footand this article explains why I feel that way.

GOONL!NE writes: "As much as we hate to say it; LittleBigPlanet is getting on a bit. After picking up many awards in '08, it just isn't fit for purpose in the new decade, and after all, no-one plays it…right?

Wrong. So, so wrong. See, over on the EU Playstation Forums, a group of LBP fans have banded together to see who can build the best bridge-crossing machine. While most people could hardly work out how to place a switch in the Design Mode, these guys and gals have made some truly stunning contraptions, all in working order and looking pretty funky. It's pretty hard to get more epic."

Games Journalism Is Broken
Critical Gamer writes: I've always liked reading what game journos have to write. I've seen videogame journalism change over the years however, and not for the better. I still enjoy reading it, and for many reasons; to find out the latest news, to garner information about new and upcoming games, to read exclusive interviews â€" and now and again, to enter competitions or nab a free beta code of some kind.

You may have noticed that nowhere in my list of reasons for reading up on games, was mention of the writing itself. I don't want to sound old before my time (the age of thirty is stalking me, gnashing its teeth) but there's no two ways about it: the writing really was much better when I was young.

Cage: No Plans For Heavy Rain Sequel

Why Natal Will Save the World (or Japan)
BNG's Tyler Treat writes, "Now, Xbox 360 fanboys, before you start your raving, I ask that you hear me out on this. Once you get to the end of the article, you can start your horn-tooting. PS3 fanboys, before you start calling Natal a glorified EyeToy, first ask yourself why anyone want to copy that crap, then note that I have a tendency to be sarcastic, then note that this is not an article designed to bash (or praise) anyone. Just hit the back button on your browser if that's why you're here. Lastly, Wii fanboys â€" who am I kidding, there's no such thing as a Wii fanboy (editor's note to self: expect sarcasm to be greatly overlooked here)."

Are we missing out on what could have been the greatest video game movie ever made?
Kombo: Best and Worst of 2009 Awards
Kombo writes: "Despite some criticisms, 2009 was awesome. While the whole year was blessed with superb titles, quarter four was especially generous. Gamers had more than enough AAA titles to keep their schedule full and their wallets empty.

So, what better way is there to celebrate the passing of a year and the dawn of a new year than our annual Best & Worst Awards? (Hint: there isn't one.)"
