(I could go on, but I won’t, you’ll be pleased to read).

I showed interest [more than some] in this title when it was announced on this very blog (on 17 July 2008) following the preview presentation at last year’s E3 Media & Business Summit the day before.

Also noted at the time were “Rachet and Clank: Quest For Booty” (that is now available on Blu-ray in the UK, like the rest of Europe, in-store & online at parent/sister stores Game(Station | Play)[{dot}co.uk], “Fat Princess” (still waiting for release; literally), “Flower” (a title everybody [else] seems to have developed HEY!-fever with), “Crash Commando” (reminding me I never did download this; did anybody else?), and “Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic”.

At the time we were all anticipating “LittleBIGPlanet” & Mark Healey’s previous PC platform release just added to the build-up (no pun intended).

It was described as “Martial arts madness with a loose-limbed twist… Kung-Fu party action with a difference - your warriors are shiny and stretchy puppets who fight with wildly exaggerated motions to create awesome visual effects. Build up your Chi power by mastering your moves, then use it to create spectacular SIXAXIS(tm) special attacks and combat sequences. Perfect your skills at home, then head online for multiplayer ragdoll mayhem”

Still sounding like another PlayStation Network hit, but hopefully a try-before-you-buy option will be available, and some more recent video foot(erm, feet)age.

Three Speech: If you need some time alone with “Killzone 2″ I don’t mind looking after the plastic folk with the lemming-like tendencies, if you wish.

But what of “Big-Boned (but not in a ‘biblical’ way) Princess”, and the other ‘E3′ announcement, the North-Easterly region-themed virtual party animal “EyePet”?

(”Burn Zombie Burn{dot}com” is heading our way, but seemingly shuffling far slower than I’d like)

PS.
“Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is Tarsier Studios first re-working of LittleBigPlanet developer Mark Healey’s initial concept of party-fighting slapstick fun with a gloriously high definition image.”

Reading between the quote above; is there going to be a second re-working of this title destined for our favourite portable console?

BFN,
