LittleBigPlanet

LittleBigPlanet will have been out for awhile by the time Dec. 25 rolls around, but when has Christmas ever been a recipe for poorer sales? LBP has been dazzling pretty much the entire gaming community since it was first revealed. Its focus on user created content, coupled with its playful tone and potentially iconic characters, has been winning over both critics and gamers alike. With essentially all preview and beta impressions coming back incredibly positive, Sony has an almost guaranteed winner here and many gamers, recognizing this, are setting their sights on Sackboy.

Resistance 2

Resistance: Fall of Man achieved success largely due to the dubious fact that it was one of the few launch titles at all worth investing in when the PS3 first came on to the market. Insomniac has been working hard to prove it wasn’t just a fluke; Resistance 2 seems set to establish the Resistance franchise as one of the premier series for PS3 owners. Set around an alternate history in which World War 2 was halted by the outbreak of the mysterious and violent Chimera hordes, Resistance 2 follows the continued exploits of Sgt. Nathan Hale, who after pretty much single-handedly liberating the UK, must help to repel the Chimera’s newest incursion onto US soil. Built seemingly around the concept of insane scale, Resistance 2 hasn’t just been promising, but actually demonstrating a tendency towards the sort of epicness that just makes you want to to go, “Awooh!”
