I know what you were thinking when you were on the john this morning in-between the crossword puzzle and the Sports section in the newspaper. You were thinking, “Hey, I really need something other than Home to satisfy my casual gaming desires. I sure hope Sony unveils something at Leipzig this year.” If you were actually thinking that this morning, then welcome to my world folks. Today, Sony revealed the newest casual experience, EyePet for the PlayStation 3.

Details are fuzzy at this point, but the main idea of EyePet is to utilize your PlayStation Eye camera for a purpose other than SingStar videos. Player’s will somehow grab a cute little pet and then act out playing with and petting the adorable creatures. The guy on this monitor looks absolutely riveted by the thing on the screen, and he has a controller in his hand.

Even though the line is blurred currently on how you interact with the EyePet, you can be sure that I’m on it. Fuzzy little creatures that have the propensity to bite things is what I’m all about.

This is right up my alley. I LOVED Nintendogs. I will own a cyber pet monkey.

Because we needed something else to do after the Release of Duke Nukem forever and Home.

The girl on the right looks familliar... Like an actress in a movie or television show.

Look at the grown man in the middle wrapping his huge hands around that little controller. DRIVE MONKEY DRIVE!

Nice, Sony. Use a medium that is less popular than a chaperone at a prom. Seriously. Who even OWNS a Playstation Eye? EyePet. More like EyeSuck. AMIRITE?

necrozen

innovation!

Mr B Natural

The guy in the middle that's actually playing is wondering why his kids are so darn simple. In his head he's thinking, "I can't believe this crap is amusing them...sigh. Should have adopted."
That and he's probably wondering why they look nothing like him at all, but instead remind him of the local mailman.

The adams family!

I actually enjoyed playing around with the creatures in Eye of Judgement (Yes, I bought it, sue me.) so this intrigues me to a degree.

Shitstorm! Take cover!

kawitchate

well, it's better than avatars. will it make people buy a PSEye? no. will it make people that own one break 'em out? sure, maybe. i know i will.

I read somewhere that you use the camera to scan objects and your pet interacts with them.

This is why he's holding the controller. Here's the video:

Imagine if this would come to Wii and imagine the comments of the news about it.

Oh my GAWD.......

I'm willing to be that my girlfriend will want this.

I had to beat her to stay away from the $110 Wii fit and by beat I mean make sweet love for 32 seconds straight.

Hold up. You can draw toys, and your pet will create and PLAY WITH THEM?

Yes, this game will find a home in my household.
