If you haven’t seen it already, do yourself a favor and check out Little Big Planet. Oh-My-Lord this game looks so incredibly fun. This game is user created content that is truly worth taking a look at. I just think back to all those times I wish I could make my own stages in 2D games when I was a kid, then I look at this and how simple they’ve made it. No coding, no bugs, no daunting level editors. Just pure fun and a whole lot of charm. Every time I see new stuff on it I get excited about it. Take a look at the videos to see what I mean.
Super cuteness!
That does indeed look like fun. I’ll also mention that another game focusing on user-created content is out for the DS called “Drawn to Life.” In this game players are asked to literally draw, using the built-in tools, the main character of the game. Then, through the power of what can only be described as video game magic, the hand-drawn figure comes to life as a fully animated figure.
You’ll also be asked to draw other assets including things like bridges, clouds and other random background items. What’s especially neat is that you can share your creations locally with other Drawn to Lifers.
Now, on the flipside of all this coolness is the fact that this is essentially a kid’s game consisting of some very standard platforming. The main draw (forgive me) is, well, the drawing.
here’s a link to IGN’s review.

I remember seeing that one a while ago. It does look pretty neat. It may be a kids game, but I would still like to try it out, if any, to just make some crude drawings.
my hero will be a nudist. this i have already decided.
