RipTen Review: LittleBigPlanet 2
You may want to throw up from the catastrophic levels of cuteness, but LittleBigPlanet 2 is everything fans could wish for from a sequel and then some.

Sorry Sackboy fans, Little Big Planet 2 will be delayed. Currently, developer media Molecule has given a firm release date of January 18, 2011 for North America.
So, just how versatile will Little Big Planet 2 be? How about insanely versatile. Check out these creations from talented LBP 2 Beta Testers.
Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans confirms that the LittleBigPlanet 2 team has an internal method to give Move functionality to custom content and expects to provide a patch post-release.
Sony and Sega are teaming up to skin one beloved icon with the blue spikey exterior of another. According to the pages of PlayStation’s Hong Kong site, costumes for Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails, Knuckles, Werehog and Dr. Eggman will be available in that region on December 17th. We will most likely see them release here [...]
There have been rumors abound about some sort of Ghostbusters content in LittleBigPlanet ever since the jerks over at the Playstation.blog started tugging at our heart strings and teasing potential Ghostbusters content in the game. While I don’t actually own LittleBigPlanet (or for that matter, a Playstation 3) I’ve been waiting to see what Media [...]
LittleBigPlanet’s Sackboy has become the unnofficial mascot for the PS3 in a way, and kids, adults, and even teenagers everywhere love the little fellas. They’re cute, cuddly, and jubilant- which is why it’s a bit unnerving (but also impressive) that someone managed to depict the anatomy of a Sackboy. New York artist & toy maker [...]
Why not? It seems the best way to promote your game today is to dress up Media Molecule’s lead character as that of your own. If you’re a fan of the Capcom fighting series, you will apparently be able to pick up the character costumes shown above individually and as a package deal. No word [...]
Does anyone remember the GameDaily “Epic Fail: Games that will Probably Suck” list, because I sure as hell do. In fact, I probably went a little overboard in my response to their calling LittleBigPlanet a “glorified version of PowerPoint” with a future full of “crap content”. Well, I guess that old PowerPoint presentation finally won [...]
If you tried to play with your Sackboy last night, you likely powered down your PS3 with a LittleBigFrown. Yes, Media Molecule was forced to shut down operations due to some unfortunate reports of glitching experienced by players. The following statement was issued as an update on the MM site: Great gremlins and ghosts! The [...]
After reading about the suspiciously low Metacritic user score of 6.3 for Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet, I decided to dig into the story a little deeper. For those unfamiliar with the situation, allow me to fill you in.
Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlanet is proving that little is not only the new big (as the mini billboard shown above cleverly states), it’s also the new entrepreneurial cash cow. While early copies of the game have been selling on Ebay for upwards of $150, the demand for everything Sackboy doesn’t end there. Miniature LittleBigPlanet billboards (which [...]
As you all know, LittleBigPlanet was recalled, after already being shipped to the majority of retailers, due to Qur’an references in one of the game’s music tracks. However, those who’ve been able to purchase the game from non-chain shops, commonly referred to as “mom and pop shops”, are taking advantage of the delay. If you [...]
LittleBigResistance: Delay of Sackboy The recent controversy surrounding Sony’s decision to delay the release of LittleBigPlanet, over a Qur’an reference made in one of the tracks, has many gamers flexing their memory muscle in an attempt to illustrate a double standard. The belief is that Sony’s 2006 decision to essentially ignore the Church of England’s [...]
If you’re like me – and I know you are – you have been enjoying the Schadenfreude as Republican vice-presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin has been routinely savaged in the media. It would seem now that Gov. Palin has now been rendered into a “Sackgirl” via LittleBigPlanet. Yes, someone actually took the time to make [...]
