EyePet

When I heard about a new EyeToy-based (yes, I know it’s supposed to be called “PlayStation Eye” or something now) virtual pet game where you could draw toys, I just assumed it would be the same kind of crap that’s bundled with the camera itself; well, it’s not.

Not that it’s going to be a fantastic game, or a system seller, but it looks really well made, the creature is a puzzling mixture of ugly and endearingly cute, and I could totally see someone buying a PS3 and a nice flat-screen to place in the entrance of their fancy loft as a cuddly conversation piece.

(Although you have to be cautious with videos of a game that’s going to be released in more than a year yet looks finished already — but there’s nothing in the video that looks too implausible, and I guess what they’ll need time perfecting is the system’s reaction to bad lighting and cluttered tables.)
