SAN FRANCISCO — Big-name videogame designers are thinking small. Creators of legendary games of the ’80s and ’90s like Sinistar and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are increasingly working on social games like those found on Facebook, largely because the development of popular time-wasters like FarmVille closely mirrors the creative process that drove the early days of gaming: small teams, short production schedules and more creative autonomy for designers.

It’s hard to say why I keep choosing to write about Clash of the Titans . It’s as if a mysterious force is pulling me toward this game adaptation of the upcoming film. It looks to be a decidedly mediocre action game, and yet, I feel oddly compelled to continue posting all of the screenshots Namco Bandai sends our way.

At Sony’s GDC press conference, we saw puzzles that use Sony’s PlayStation Move controller in simple puzzles and platforming game play in PS3 game LittleBigPlanet.

GDC: LittleBigPlanet with PlayStation Move
A pre-alpha title called Motion Fighter used Sony’s PlayStation Move motion-sensing controllers to facilitate one-on-one street fighting at their GDC press conference this afternoon. A demonstration we watched had a person swinging his fists — both loaded with a Move controller — to beat down an on-screen thug. The motions looked to be on a 1:1 basis, with the on-screen fists of his character seeming to connect perfectly in line with his real world movements, but they didn’t seem to connect at the expected time. At the end of the presentation, the player took the on-screen enemy into a headlock and hit his head in.
