Abstract: Media Molecule once said that LittleBigPlanet would never get a sequel, that it was something the studio wouldn't ever want to do. Whatever changed between then and now, LittleBigPlanet got the second installment that the more cynical among us always...
There's no denying that LittleBigPlanet 2 is an amazing game. It's fun, clever, deep, engaging and great to try out with friends. The only issue is that some of the same frustrations from the last game are still present. Still, the ability to make game...
Abstract: For those of you unfamiliar with LittleBigPlanet, here's how I usually explain the game's appeal: LBP is to game design what Guitar Hero is to performing music. It puts you in the role of a game creator in the same way that Guitar Hero puts you in the ...

Sackboy's triumphant return packs the same engrossing brand of innovation and ingenuity that made its pioneering predecessor our Game of the Year for 2008. An expanded scale and a whole new treasure chest of tools and toys to conceptualise and create with...
Greatly expanded suite of creation tools. Backwards compatible with user-generated content from the original game, all of which has been given a graphical update.
Backwards compatibility means the "floaty" controls return. We'll have to wait for the creativity of the community to truly shine.
Abstract: What do a red fez, leafy angel wings and a Fu Manchu moustache all have in common? They, along with a Sackboy’s quirky sensibilities, kept me giggling for hours. Ever since 2008’s smash hit release, pundits have been waiting for a new little brother to...
