I just got back from talking to Siobhan Reddy, an Australian designer at Media Molecule, and I’m currently feverishly transcribing what was a very interesting interview. One thing, however, immediately struck me while we were chatting. When asked what Media Molecule ultimately wanted to see users create in LBP 2, she threw down the gauntlet to all the potential LBP creators – she wants to see a brand new genre.
A few weeks ago, I saw Create, one of the newest – and still unfinished – games from EA, makers of Madden, The Sims and Dead Space. My signature swore me to temporary silence that ends now.

Electronic Arts unveiled a new game this morning that seems to blend the best of LittleBigPlanet’s level creation with Scribblenauts’ imagination and puzzle solving.
