All of the cool kids in the UK are picking up LittleBIGPlanet for ten quid or so,while it’s still over $30 everywhere I look in the USA. (But then,sometimes prices are a bit inflated.) Either SCEE feels that it’s worth discounting to attract people to PS3,or they expect to make back [...]

Reminder:(unless they’re lying to me again) IFC will be showing the Interactive Achievement Awards tonight at 8pm EDT. They’re actually airing commercials for it,so I doubt it’ll be pushed back again. Since everyone in the known universe follows Stephen Fry on Twitter,it’s now well-reported that he’s voicing LittleBIGPlanet PSP. To be [...] [Update - almost not worth watching;half of the awards skipped in favor of tons of commercials in a half-hour time slot.] Almost forgot that G4‘s X-Play was going to show some of the 2009 GDCA. Check it out. [...] [Update - IFC decided to air some SXSW stuff instead,not updating their schedule until after the fact. Looks like it won't be until the 21st.] If you’re lucky enough to receive the Independent Film Channel (Wikipedia sez Dish,DirecTV,FiOS,and “most U.S. cable systems”),and didn’t get invited to the Interactive Achievement Awards [...] [Update:Molecular BAFTA pics here and here.] [Update: snazzy pic of Kareem,Mark,and Leo is #15 in this gallery.] Big congratulations to the Molecules for the great showing at this year’s British Academy Video Games Awards (the BAFTA for video games)! Nominated for Artistic Achievement,Casual,Original Score,Technical Achievement,Use of Audio,[...] …even if clicking on “Learn more”takes you to a top 30 list (in no particular order). Darn the number 2 game on the list,though,for taking almost as much of my PS3′s uptime. [...] PAX A games blog over at the Portland Mercury seemed impressed by LittleBigPlanet,and were nice enough to point out something that I think is being largely overlooked: Unlike most world-building games,this platforming section is robust enough to functionally be its own game,much to the delight of those who don’t have [...] Lots to report,before anything starts coming in from PAX: First of all,the LittleBigPlanet News Site is showing off the official boxart for the USA [thanks Brian!]. I can’t decide whether I like the UK packaging better or not. I like the USA crowd better than just showing two Sackboys,but the use [...] The “Best of GC”awards have been announced already,and it’s LittleBigPlanet that grabs “Best PS3 Game”. From the press release: Sony brings new life to an old genre,the laterally scrolling platformer. It also adds both a social and a creative element to the console world:the gamer community becomes the developer community. “Little [...] I promised myself that I wouldn’t do any more of these mega-posts. But with a ridiculous backlog,and the Leipzig Games Convention looming,it’s clear that I was lying. [...] | ||||
