Sid Meier Loves The PS3

SIDThe creator of timeless hits Civilization and Railroad Tycoon, Sid Meier is, somewhat surprisingly, a PlayStation fan. Maybe even bordering on fanboy, if the editorial on PlayStation.com is an accurate take on Sid's gaming tastes.

You might think Sid's tastes are singularly strategic, but he namechecks Okami, Gran Turismo 4 and Resistance: Fall of Man as some of his favorite games. Then, there's the gushing. Oh the gushing! Not only does he call the PLAYSTATION 3 "light years ahead" of the PlayStation 2, he's just enamored with Sony as a whole.

Sony's done an amazing job of establishing a quality standard and delivering on systems' promise. Look at the caliber of titles we're suddenly seeing from machines like the PlayStation®2 - the company takes a long-term view and really focuses on delivering amazing hardware right out of the box.

Hints of a Meier-developed PlayStation bound game are not-so-subtly hinted at in the editorial, which could be very very interesting. I'm guessing it's going to be along the lines of Sid Meier's PlayStation Sonnets.
