EA ‘Creates’ a LittleBigPlanet clone

Electronic Arts announced a sandbox game this morning called Create, the description of which sounds strangely familiar to a game we all know and love, LittleBigPlanet. They even use Sackboy! Okay, that part's made up.

Now the argument can be made that any genre-blurring original game will be copied and cloned until a whole new genre is born, much like all the Wolfenstein wannabes that eventually gave birth to the biggest genre today, the first-person shooter. Let's also not forget that it wasn't that long ago that Grand Theft Auto 3 had so many imitators that it birthed the term 'GTA clones', and now that's a genre in and of itself.
