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.

It has stirred up a debate if it is an advance for artistic freedom or poses a new danger of radicalisation
The idea of burying a negative event of the past is wrong anyway. A country should never be held responsible for it's past, but history is history, and if creative talent draw from that era, it should be fair game to paint an accurate portrayal and not be swept under the rug for the present people to take shame for.
Germany will forever be known as the country that Hitler motivated to atrocities, but that's not the case now. It's just a bad era of history for them. Censorship is not the answer.
Watch this video to find out how Doom's synthetic and metal-inspired sound was put together by composer Mick Gordon.
They should've rereleased the original Doom games along the new reboot that just recently came out, something akin to what they did on the PS3/XBOX 360 last gen with Doom 3 that had the original games on the same disc, BUT! (and there's a big but here) with the option to play the games with the original Playstation 1-exclusive soundtrack! Seriously, that dark, ambient music played a huge role in me liking the Doom games on PSOne, it was so much better than the PC soundtrack, consisting of very short loops of some famous metal riffs, it made the game's atmosphere so much more haunting!
Back by (somewhat) popular demand, here is another collection of 10 fun Xbox 360 games with easy achievements. A quick re-cap if you missed the previous article; ’10 Xbox 360 games with easy achievements that you might actually want to play’. Skylanders, Tomb Raider Underworld, Band Hero, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Lost, Rango, Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper, Iron Man 2, Clive Barker’s Jericho and even Hannah Montana all made the list.
Interesting article. I never thought about where genres come from like that. But I'm still gonna hate on EA, lol
Nothing Beats the Cool Sackboy!
wouldn't call it a clone but lets see how this plays out
This November? Eh, I'll buy LBP2. It's way more cooler plus sackboy rocks.
