While a number of high-profile games are slated to hit the PlayStation 3, a fair number of them come from known franchises, such as Gran Turismo, Tekken, Killzone, and Devil May Cry. However, a dark horse emerged at the Game Developers Conference earlier this year when an original game came from nowhere and plopped its happy burlap self high on the list of anticipated PS3 games. LittleBigPlanet from UK developer Media Molecule is a unique game for the PlayStation 3 that's equal parts developer tool and sandbox, wrapped in a fuzzy package that can't help but make you smile when you see it. At Sony's recent press event, we had the chance to get our hands on a demo version of the game and bounce around in the same level that was shown at GDC. While nothing new was shown, the playable demo was effective at showing off the game's infectious charm.
