There’s a very good chance that LittleBigPlanet is going to face a make-or-break situation when the game is finally released. The developers at Media Molecule readily admit that the game is essentially half finished and, potentially, never will be.

PS3 Preview | LittleBigPlanet

So, is it possible you havent heard of LittleBigPlanet? Unlikely, especially if you own a PS3, considering its one of the most anticipated PS3-exclusive titles on the way.

David Reeves, Sony's President has just told the assembled press and hangers-on that, unlike the US, he won't be pulling a fast one and pretending to cut the price of the Euro PS3. Kaz Hirai (who was on the table behind us) has exited out the side door, sharpish. No-one knows where to go next. We're in Venice Beach, ... » Read More

LittleBigPlanet - first look

PS3 Preview | LittleBigPlanet

For months - years, even - Sony has been pushing the PS3 as a revolutionary new platform that would change everything we thought we knew about games. We didn't believe the hype, of course, but now we've seen something that's got us thinking Sony might not have been blowing smoke up our asses after ... » Read More
