Hi guys, Matt here, 23 and born and living in York (the original, not New York, not New New York for you Futarama heads or New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New-New New York for the Doctor Who fans among us).
You may remember York from the first level or so of Resistance:Fall of Man. Sadly, it doesn't look half as pretty as it did during the Chimeran invasion, but it does okay.
I've been into videogaming since I was 4. The first games I ever played were Super Mario Bros and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles for the NES. My dad brought home an NES one day for reasons he can't even remember, not realising it would spark a life-long passion in me. He never really caught the bug, he'd play a few times, but for the most part I had to relegate him to the second controller or kick him off alltogether. My Grandad on the other hand is a proper vet and still plays to this day, mainly PC titles for him, whereas I've always prefered consoles, I still thank him for introducing me to one of my all time favorite series, the Monkey Island series, and with it the whole world of point and click adventure games.
If there are 2 genres I love it is platforming and pnc adventure games. This is why I am so looking forward to LBP and all the platforming goodness I hope it brings. I personally think the last great platformer was two years ago (New Super Mario Bros) and short of LBP I can't see anything good on the horizon, so I'm hoping that LBP will be a ressurection of the genre and we will hopefully see some more developers remembering how good platformers can be.
So that's me and why I love LBP so much before it's even in my hands. How are you?
