A little tweetstalking reveals that Kenny’s not the only Molecule in San Fran for GDC this week. While a Molecular presence seems a natural thing if Sony wants to talk about the recent nuptial announcement, or could in fact be strictly educational, everyone loves a good rumour. Any truth to it? Your guess is as [...]
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 the [...]

But they have received confirmation directly from SCEE, including the detail that the date is for all of Europe. They also talked to SCEA, who repeated that "We have not yet [...]
It’s a familiar story by now. First, a company representative at a trade show says something:
They wouldn’t talk specifics, but said they’re partnering with other companies to bring third-party themed content into LittleBigPlanet. The Sony rep mentioned Disney, for example – being careful to note that it was just an example – as a [...]
First of all, if you haven’t yet, go take a look at Media Molecule’s Leipzig photos. Simply amazing. And to those who ask “What about lighting? Can we make dark levels?”, you might spy an answer in this image.
