Raz Review: "I would not initially have believed that a platformer
could be this much fun. But it is - BIG fun. The appeal comes partly
from running through other people's levels and picking up bits and
pieces you can use in creating your own; which is a quite a kettle of
fish in itself. There aren't really many limits to your imagination
with this game...you can create pretty much anything you like.
The
little Sack-people are very cute characters, too - and far from the
wooden, unmoved sort you see in most games, you can control the most
intimate aspects of their expressions to suit the moment. Frustrated by
a level? Roar your defiance! Beat everyone else? Bust out the victory
dance moves!
The idea of a game where the majority of levels are
designed by YOU, and people like you, with a well-streamlined feedback
system (not unlike e-Bay or an upscale forum) is absolutely spectacular
and unique - there is nothing like this anywhere else on the console
market. Get known as a star LBP level designer, or just putter around
with what's already out there!
The only complaint I have is that
the 3-tiered system of platforming (background, mid, foreground) is a
little confusing at times, and perspectives can be a bit troublesome
when you're going multiplayer. It's a small grief, though; because 95%
of this game is pure gold...right down to the warm, grandfatherly
British voiceovers in the introduction and tutorials. Highest marks for
innovation and playability!"

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
