The killer app has arrived but I don't see Ninja Gaiden Sigma anywhere. Someone lied to me.

When did The Critic start using online for his consoles? Because that's the only way you can make this short game last.

I don't understand the context of the question.  The Critic never claimed to play this game.  Or did I miss it somewhere.

What Zen44 is saying, is that the Critic will probably get zero enjoyment out of LittleBigPlanet because its going to require him to go online.

I'm sure LittleBigPlanet will ship with pre made levels, but the game is all about having a community that supports it.  People are going to be able to create their own levels, share them online, rate them, get awards for them etc...

Then again there is very little info on the game right now, and it might offer enough of a offline experience to keep those types happy.

If I may:

 

The PS3 will not have a killer app.  A killer app is defined as a game that is so good it moves a huge number of systems just so people can play it.  The PS3's "killer app" will be a price cut.  Nothing else could move this system.  Not a great game, not a "Second Life"-based Xbox Live control panel, not an awesome looking platformer.  Nothing.  The system costs too much money.  End of story.  Software won't sell over priced hardware.

Exactly right.  If anything, this will cause a rise in the number of people going to their friend's house to play the game, because they have a mortgage.

Atarifever is right. No matter how many games I see that I want on PS3 I simply will never buy one. Even if it managed to get a library that rivals PS3 in a one year span it wouldn't change the fact that I don't have a spare $600.

I meant that "library that rivals PS2" in that last post.
