all games are not created equal

Spore, while interesting in its amount of customization and amount of design available to you, doesn't manage to win any points in the gameplay department. Little Big Planet, on the other hand, offers an astounding amount of freedom when it comes to creating levels, allowing you to download them as well. In addition, it allows co-op that's easy to get into and fun to play. Spore's content can quickly run out or get tiring, but LBP's content just keeps growing.
