GameDaily: “Epic Fail” LBP Scores “Sucky” 9.0

by Chad Lakkis on November 3, 2008 at 4:23 am

Does anyone remember the GameDaily “Epic Fail: Games that will Probably Suck” list, because I sure as hell do. In fact, I probably went a little overboard in my response to their calling LittleBigPlanet a “glorified version of PowerPoint” with a future full of “crap content”.

Well, I guess that old PowerPoint presentation finally won them over, because they gave the Media Molecule IP a 9.0 “Excellent” score. Here’s a snippet of what they had to say:

“Until recently, we had trouble enjoying Sony’s ambitious PlayStation 3 video game, LittleBigPlanet. Its mascot, the adorable Sackboy, was shoved down our throats, and the level editor failed to thrill … Now our heads are full of grinning Sackboys, previously completed levels and our own designs. We’re hooked.”

“Buy LittleBigPlanet or we’ll kick you in your Sackboy.”

See, with a little less crystal ball gazing and a little more hands-on play time, even GameDaily was able to realize the “epic fail” error of their ways. I’m not sure threatening to kick people in their “Sackboy” will get them back in the good graces of MM, but it may be a good way to work off all that crow they must be eating right about now.

    they still aren’t one of the sites i go to, nothing like clicking page after page to read their ‘articles’ or ‘top 10 lists’

    Even if GameDaily wore sunglasses indoors and handled ninja sword perfectly with huge breasts, Cookigaki would still not approve!

    GAmeDaily is the worst of the worst, right next to GameSpot. They are full of stupid reviewers.
