This is just pure genius! I didn’t think anything of it until I saw all the unique things you can do. The AI is also VERY tight. Notice the little girl walking straight to the dead body to examine it. Also check her reactions to you as you approach her. Graphics are on par with the usual 360 fair and the sound design is fucking incredible! Enjoy!

This is (by the flickeringly brief half-life of internet life) old news by now, but March 1 of 2007 will be remembered by many for a series of rather remarkable events. Rather than try to put my own synopsis on the events, which would inevitably include my own spin no matter how hard I tried to suppress it, here’s a link to Kotaku’s own page with jumps to the three posts around which controversy raged.

Now for my take – and this is just one person’s opinion. I can’t see either side as the hero, or as the villain. As stated on the threads themselves (yes, I write for one blog but post on another), I really wished some other resolution had been reached when it looked like Kotaku was getting the cold shoulder from Sony. I am glad the camps made amends. The question is begged, though: is the damage already done?

I am glad Kotaku didn’t lose their relationship with Sony. I’m also rather surprised at Sony’s reaction overall. Isn’t the theory PlayStation Home a good idea, thus constituting good news? I’d think they’d find some of that welcome. Though thankfully there’s a bit of it around: finally, an end to the Immersion ugliness; DVD upscaling, w00p w00p! Also, that controversial PS Home network sounds pretty damn good.
