Inspires that "feel good" feeling.

As I mentioned in the previous part to this blog entry article [ /blog/2009/02/what-is-play-part-one/ ], I'm very keen to experience new directions of game-play for the benefit of not only the industry but the individual game player, but titles such as these, although perhaps favourable on the original PlayStation with the "Net Yaroze" development projtect, or even during the Linux ("homebrew", in the true sense of the term) community for the PS2, seem to me, at least, to be somewhat more biased towards the offerings usually available on Nintendo platforms. Or perhaps that is the point. If you can’t beat ‘em… join ‘em. I welcome Sony & the associated development teams trying new approaches and, not least, trying to capture the imagination of a different cross-section of the general public. It makes the PS3 console a more-rounded & more attractive proposition to take pride of place in a living room environment rather than stuck in a back bedroom where Dad is dismissed when there are Soap Operas on the TV. But I don’t really understand the attraction. Feel free to enlighten me though… BFN, fp.
