I used to be into a game called Rainbow Six Rogue Spear. Every night I would sit up late talking to my buddy on the phone while we played the game online. One summer this was all I did. But as soon as the levels began to grow old, we discovered dozens of user-created levels for free download on forum sites. The fact that we could play on so many new levels without having to wait for the publishers to put out a new game made the possibilities of Rainbow Six seem endless.
If LittleBigPlanet truly allows gamers to create their own content, we may be seeing a new era in video games. Huge publishers will still be around, but I see many various subcultures emerging in the video game world. New stars will rise. Could LittleBigPlanet be to video games what mixtapes were to hip-hop?
