Gamespot says: We're now getting onto our fifth installment of this feature, and with every passing year the differences between the consoles continue to melt away. When we first started this feature, the differences between some versions of games were astounding. Fight Night Round 3 looked drastically better on the Xbox 360 with its improved lighting and shadowing effects. The following year, the graphics on both platforms got considerably more even--Oblivion even looked better on the PlayStation 3. Every subsequent comparison pretty much ended the same, with the Xbox 360 getting the benefit of slightly higher-resolution textures and other marginal improvements that wouldn't be noticed unless the images were put side by side. We'll see if the trend holds true with some of the best games from this year.
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.
It is sad that GameSpot has to do these kind of things to get hits. I can guarantee that if they got the XCM/controller converter for each system and then did a comparison no one YES NO ONE would be able to tell the differences. Games stopped verses Games in motion are 2 different things.
And as it has been stated before, who cares about Multiplats? Yes I know 360 fans only care about it. Let exclusives and I mean FULL EXCLUSIVES not console exclusives speak for the system.
I find it funny how so long ago 360 fans were saying how their system was so much more powerful then ps3 yet now many media outlets are claiming they are the same when it is well known that the ps3 in theory has more power, but it takes more to get it out for everyone to see.
LOL!
The poor liddle Xbot mod is on a rampage again! I know who you are now dimwit...
I hear you bro, but this really wasn't a comparison. This is more of an personal opinion. I strongly believe the journalist at this site or any for that matter should know better.
Wow... they really are looking closely to see differences. If I gave you a random image, I bet you wouldn't be able to say whether or not it's the 360 or PS3 version. The only thing I can see that's different is the contrast which can be adjusted. But judging that the 360 version is superior because if you examine a still image with a microscope you can see that one guy's arm textures are slightly higher resolution? That's pedantry at its most extreme.
