Today on Offworld, we looked at how the first pack of downloadable content for Mirror’s Edge reminded us (happily) of the best bits of Super Mario Sunshine, went undercover to sneak ourselves out a copy of Japan’s exclusive Resident Evil 5 demo, logged into Sackbook, the best new web project to come out of LittleBigPlanet, and went Mario Kart-ing in real life.
We also prepared ourselves for a Metal Gear December Surprise, saw how LittleBigPlanet was invading music/puzzle game Lumines (later, in motion), and nosed around Sega’s new Sonic-laden casual game portal.
Finally, we looked at Trine, a forthcoming PC/PS3 game from Finnish developer Frozenbyte that looks to blend the best parts of Lost Vikings, Gauntlet and.. Crayon Physics, saw Obama going all Gears of War, and, most endearingly, rescued wayward beagles across procedurally generated landscapes.
