Winter Break is pretty much over and I might as well recap the PS3 Experience so far from last time. This time two games get the spotlight in this post and I actually don't have plans of typing of a long review for either of them. Skate 2 will likely be my first review of 2009 later this month.
Lumines Supernova - This is officially my kick back game on PS3 as it is more Lumines, and that's good enough for me. Actually if you played Lumines Live (on XBLA) to death, there's not that much new here in Supernova in terms of content, but at least Q! Entertainment did not make the same mistake again by having a package that is worth the 15 dollars compared to the experiment on 360 in 2006. The gameplay is pretty much the same and as addictive with some new skins, but the majority of the skins have appeared in previous games. Compared to Lumines Live, the order of rotation for skins did change, so it is not really the same game as two years ago. Other than the disappointing Dig Down mode and no multiplayer, Lumines Supernova is worth it for chill sessions from all the stress other games may provide.
LittleBigPlanet - Okay, I haven't really played much LBP as I wanted to, but I'm loving it so far. Currently I'm at the Canyons in the storyline and I also have the Metal Gear levels DLC along with the free costumes (also the Street Fighter costumes). I usually just play some of the other levels out there online and who knows if I feel like making my own level (then again that it is a crucial part of LBP). I can also see why this game is pretty amazing and perhaps the most charming game in recent memory. The charm factor is just everywhere and it is hard not to love Sackboy as a character. Yeah, the gameplay mechanics could have been a little better like the jump and the three panes, but the game just puts a smile on your face that it eliminates the frustration whether playing alone or with friends. Of course, the servers still suck, but nothing is ever perfect. The soundtrack is also awesome which also surprised me. I do expect myself to play more LBP, but on a slower pace. Plus, it has the longevity to still be around a year later with the community levels and more developer-based levels on other famous franchises.
As for Q1 2009 for the PS3 Experience, expect me to get Skate 2, Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, and Resident Evil 5 and we move on from there.
