Gino D:

Best New IP: LittleBigPlanet

Runner's Up: Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Patapon

Comments: Of all the new IPs seen this year, you can't compete with LBP. It's been nothing but a phenomenon of late, with Sackboys invading the other forms of media and culture like crazy. As for Layton, it's an old IP in Japan, but for the west, it's getting cult status quicker than you can say "Studio Ghibli movie please".



Isaac C:

Best New IP: LittleBigPlanet

Runner's Up: Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge

Comments: LittleBigPlanet wins hands down because my Sackboy will cry otherwise. I didn't particularly find Mirror's Edge engaging, but it deserves a vote.



Mabie A:

Best New IP: Mirror's Edge

Comments: Mirror's Edge also is winner, although I would have preferred for it to have an optional third person view instead of just the standard first person view. I mean, yeah, it's cool to see how it's like to leap off building rooftops and scale fire exits. but to just have that view all the time, it kinda takes away from the gameplay experience, cos I can't appreciate the stunts she's doing.



Glenn M:

Best New IP: Mirror's Edge

Comments: The runner isn't a runner-up.. the concept may not be unique, but it certainly carries the concept and owns it.. the first person pov simulates the feeling of actually doing all that jumping so well that I actually imagine myself jumping across office buildings through outdoor smoking areas..



Chris C:

Best New IP: Dead Space

Runner's Up: LittleBigPlanet, Mirror's Edge.

Comments: High production values, slick presentation and a gripping story mean I can't wait for the inevitable follow up to Dead Space.

MGS4 :D!!! lol jk



I would say LittleBigPlanet hands down. I'm sort of addicted to good graphics, and often value it more than gameplay...so Mirror's Edge lost for me cuz I noticed MANY graphical glitches/jagged lines, and of course the fact that most enemies looked the same and had no expression.

LBP - no competition IMO.

And er... sorry for the noobish question but, what does IP stand for? I know what it means, I just actually can't figure out what those two letters stand for lol.

Hehe. I remember a couple of guys debating about this the other day in one of the other posts... Anyways....



Intellectual property.



Basically, when someone says "IP" think "franchise" and whatever other legal stuff that go with it (trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc).

Spore sucked big time. Way too much hype for a way too short game time.

Thank you for that explanation of IP. I actually postted it yesterday and didnt get an answer last night, about to track it down and see if its answered now.



I still think IP should be kept to its network term as everyone knows what that means and the new IP should be scrapped and another term found for it. How about "Game" or "Genre" or some other crap that means GAME as thats all it is anyway. A full of crap way of saying new "idea of game". There we go, IOG.

LOL
