Get to making your levels on LittleBigPlanet,because after Saturday they will not make it into the Retail Release.I was hoping that Sony and Media Molecule would do this and even though I only have 1 level(Kotaku Land).I might just try to get one going before then.
One thing I’ve noticed is the polish of some of the levels and the Beta has just been going for a week or two.Imagine a few months after the games release.Amazing.

I’ve been messing around with Linger and if you are a little confused,don’t be.I still have no idea what I’m doing.Maybe a little tutorial would have been in order.I’ve unlocked five trophys and still have no idea what I did.The music is fantastic though and the art is well unique.I will definitely give it to the PSN for continuing to bring a indie vibe to the Playstation.

I’m going to be playing NBA the Inside this week(if my son doesn’t arrive pretty soon).Should have it in my hands tomorrow.It’s the only PS3 Basketball title with trophies.Looking forward to trying out the in game jukebox and the Mini games.

OMG. I played for over 12 hours yesterday and I haven’t sat down and played a game that long in one sitting in years.The only problem is formulating a idea for the creation level I want to make.I’d suggest writing out what you want or make a plan.Just going on the flow seems to take quite a while.
Sony has got a big time hit on their hands with this game.I wanted to play some other games in the fall,but it looks like most of my time is going to be sitting in front of the TV checking out all of the LittleBigCreations people are making.
Fable 2 Collectors Edition slashed down in size October 4, 2008

This is what your getting if you pre-ordered the Fable 2 collectors edition.
Bonus DVD with new ‘Making-of’ Feature.
Bonus in-game content (requires Xbox LIVE) including:
. The Hall of the Dead Dungeon
. The Wreckager Legendary Cutlass Weapon
. Spartan armor and energy sword
You will not be getting the Developer Diaries,Soundtrack,5 cards,Premium box and collectible figurine.This is due to supplier constraints supposedly,but it doesn’t sound like much of a collectors edition to me.Glad I just pre-ordered the regular copy.
PSN video store gets a large update of Movies(Iron Man!) October 4, 2008

The official Playstation Blog has put up it’s list of new Movies and Tv shows on the PSN store and I have to say that I’m very surprised that Iron Man was up there so quick.You can purchase Iron Man for $14.99,which is pretty good price considering the price of the DVD in stores.It’s around 2 gigs in size for those wanting to know.
At this rate,it won’t be long before the PSN video store catches up to Xbox Live Marketplace.They just need Battlestar Galactica and SG-1 episodes and I’ll be happy 
LittleBigPlanet Beta is all kinds of awesome October 4, 2008

I can’t remember the last time I sat down with a game and just smiled the entire time while playing it.That was until I got my hands on the LittleBigPlanet Beta.Clearly,Sony and Media Molecule have made a hit on their hands.
I won’t go into a lot of depth because it is a Beta and the finale game will have a lot more in it,but the polish that the game shows in the Beta is astounding.This is a feature title for sure and Sony should be marketing it as much as possible.It’s the first game I’ve seen that gives you updates on what your friends are doing in levels in realtime along with what is happening to your creations.It’s easy to play a co-op level and the tools are just simply amazing.
In short,I would be utterly amazed if this isn’t the number one title on the Playstation 3 and I advise any of you wary of trying a platformer to go now and pre-order.You will not be let down.

The new Nintendo DSi was announced last night and should run for around $179.It will include a SD slot,browser,2 cameras,12% lighter and a larger screen.I’ve just purchased two DS lites in the last month and I can’t wait to get my hands on this one.
There will also be a DSi online store to download software for various Nintendo points.The release date in Japan is November 1st.
