Over the holiday break, I was showing Little Big Planet to a friend of mine. He's a dyed-in-the-wool conservative who's so conservative that he wouldn't have voted for McCain if Sarah Palin hadn't been on the ticket. So when I explained to him that the point of Little Big Planet was to keep going to the right, he immediately observed that it sounded like his kind of game.

I only bring this up because there are no games coming out this week and if I hadn't mentioned my Little Big Planet anecdote, I would have had nothing to write here.
