Is the Playstation Network would catching up to the illustrious Xbox Live? What with the release of Killzone 2 (with its substantial host of sales) and a mess of high-quality offerings available on the system, it seems as though this could be the case.
Along with the recent release of the poetic and beautiful game of intense artistic expression, Flower, the Playstation Network could be adding another popular independent developer game of decent renown and popularity in that of Braid. The recent acquisition of the former Xbox Live Arcade exclusive by Hothead Games has lead to its release on Mac and PC.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Free right from the start out of the box with built in WLAN with online features for the future of the PS3's life meaning every PS3 customer can use the online features straight away

Pointless payments to 'allow' you to play online, but have to buy an adapter to access unless just by chance you have a phone line next to you with a 'great community' only due to the fact XBL existed before PSN with overrated scoreboard systems
...hmm, I wonder
Yes,it can.
But looking at Sony's track record of making right moves,it appears Xbox Live will be the superior Online SOCIAL Gaming Network of this generation.
Now go on and disagree with the truth.
5x more money vs psn been made over xbl i don't see that been overtaken anytime soon
PSN is a BARREN WASTELAND it makes me mad that (some what) believed hit seeking media and PS3 fans when they said it was comparable to XBL.
Watching *PULSE* 100 times or surfing through inferior versions of Multi platform game demos on PSN makes me mad.
I'm afraid to multi task on PS3 I fear it has trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time.
I agree I do like PSN games better for the most part.
PSN has better quality videos longer preview times and for me is faster than XBL(due to the lack of Content/traffic?)
If the two were on the same system then I could see this taking place with one or the other. Back to reality, Xbox live has its followers and PSN has theirs as well.
