Little Big Planet – A review (with help from Sackboy)

Hi, I’m Sackboy and I’m guestblogging for StalkingVenus.com. I’ve lived my whole life in a world called Little Big Planet. Tim of StalkingVenus fame and (apparently zero) fortune, has asked me to write a quick paragraph or two telling all you readers what I think of my home world. So seeing as how he and [...]

Review: Motorstorm Pacific Rift!

The original Motorstorm was the first game I experienced on the PS3, and I played it to death. The graphics were fantastic, and the gameplay, despite being difficult to master at times, appealed to my inner madman. Not many other racing games (with the notable exception of Burnout Paradise) have made me feel exhilarated and [...]

Thought of the morning – Evolving altruism

… imagine a condition where the strongest species has grown in such numbers as to utilise all available space in their habitat (to whit: humanity, early 21st century). Nothing can enforce a natural disaster, so evolutionary theory holds that a set of traits needs to develop to allow the creature (in our case, us) to survive under these conditions. This being the case,and intelligence having proved itself as the strongest survival trait to date, evolutionary theory dictates that differentiation of intelligence is the most likely next evolutionary ‘step’.
