I may be a cold, stone-hearted, ruthless son of a bitch, but I'll be damned if I don't love ridiculously cute and retarded nonsense. Enter the Eyepet, a virtual friend that lives inside your PS3 and uses the PlayStation Eye to interact with the outside world. I'm sure you've heard of the creepy-yet-adorable little bugger before, and now we have a bucketload of assets for you.
Check out the gallery and watch the video after the jump. If you've any shred of human decency, you'll join me in saying that this is the greatest thing to have ever come out of videogames. I'm not even being sarcastic this time! I seriously want to play with this and love it forever ... or until I'm bored.

Well... I liked the music other than that, no interest at all and no idea why anyone would be interested in this. I really do fail to see the point or value of this type of software.
That thing is creepy as all get-out and I would not want it anywhere near my life, digital or otherwise. Especially since it's mammalian but seems to hatch from an egg. SURE PLATYPI DO IT TOO BUT THEY HAVE A BEAK AT LEAST.
I hope some modder's come along and make it the opposite of what it is. Not that I don't like cute, mind you... no... I just want an evil monkey that I can mock and presumably poke with a stick
That's really awesome. I'd need to see prices, though. Now that the PS3 Slim's been announced I'm suddenly much more interested in everything to do with that console.
From a technical standpoint, all of this PSEye and Natal business is very intriguing and I think it's pretty damn amazing that we can put a drawing up to a camera and the software will understand what it is and make a digital copy of it. That's the only reason why Milo interests me so much--if a video game can understand the emotions on your face and understand your voice, that's pretty awesome.
That said, however, I don't think that there's much to this game as an actual $60+ dollar experience. I doubt there will be any real meat to it.
Also, I can smell the costume DLC coming from a mile away.

It really looks cute and I love it. SOLD!!
I'll probably end up horribly torturing it in every violent way possible.
OH GOD NOEZ
