Sony PlayStation 3
The PS3 might have gotten off to a slow start, but with 2008 being dubbed the “year of the PlayStation,” Sony has kicked their production into overdrive to ensure that fans have plenty of awesome exclusives to brag about and some truly innovative titles to enjoy. With Blu-Ray becoming huge and several big name titles ahead, such as God of War III, the future is looking good for Sony’s all-in-one wonderbox.

Offering the biggest evolutionary step in the 2D platforming genre since Super Mario Bros, LittleBigPlanet offers a tremendous value for its paltry retail price. The core game takes established platforming conventions and adds exciting new mechanics like jetpacks, vehicles, and the ability to grab and pull objects. On top of a clever campaign overstuffed with lovingly-crafted visuals and brilliant set pieces, the game includes a full map creator that lets you build anything that your imagination can devise. As if this wasn’t enough, you can go online and download other people’s creations and even play through every map and mode with 4-player co-op. While the passion of the community will be the deciding factor in LBP’s legacy, the game itself is a wonderful achievement and can provide infinite hours of joy and entertainment.
