I firmly believe that Little Big Plan is worth buying a PS3, even if you are a die-hard Xbox 360 fanboy. LBP is by far the most innovative produvt that I have come across in a long time.

“Our target audience is everyone,” explained associate producer Eric Fong, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz last month at Comic-Con 2008 in San Diego, where the game was being demonstrated to the public.

”How do you explain the game…without getting your hands on it? It’s a difficult thing to do.” Therefore events like Comic-Con and Germany’s Games Convention, which takes place later this month, have become a crucial part of Sony’s aggressive consumer awareness campaign.
