Well I’ve been busy with many many school projects ranging from English reasearch projects to Science fair projects. I’m having a tough time fitting everything in, so here are a lot or articles you’ll laugh at, you’ll read and you’ll thank me for. Or at least that’s the plan. There are also some nice video trailers.
* SackBoy “Plushies” [Play Asia] Indeed, these horrible renditions of LittleBigPlanet‘s iconic characters, the “SackPerson”(s) have been legalized, but look awful in my opinion. We need official ones. $9.90 for a 4 in. SackPerson or $15.90 for a 10 in. SackPerson.
* Heavy Rain Preview for PS3 [1UP]
This is because the videogame, as a medium, has been too immature to tell complex and subtle stories. I made this mistake myself at the end of [Indigo Prophecy], where I felt my story needed something spectacular because all I had so far was normal people leading a normal life. I realized that the “normal” part was the one that worked the best, and that it wasn’t necessary to save the world to tell something exciting anymore. Heavy Rain will be about normal people in real life, and I believe it’ll be much more emotionally involving, as gamers will easily relate to the situations and characters. This is a new approach. In Heavy Rain, you won’t be a superhero or a gangster. You’ll just be someone real. – David Cage

* What Do Some Japanese Commenters Think Of Faith From Mirror’s Edge? [Kotaku] Prepare to read comments such as:

“Slant eyes for Asians is the same as big lips for black people.” And,
“Well, Japanese people have the stereotype that Americans are fat, bald and clumsy. It’s the same.”

* Blast Factor – Now With Trophies!

Even DUALSHOCK 3 controller support has been added!

Hey, nobody’s perfect, at least Sony’s trying as compared to Nintendo.
