There's a new LittleBigPlanet for Sony's new PlayStation Vita. It's a game that plays mostly like the LittleBigPlanets you've played before, but it may be the more fun version, the one with the best new touchscreen and tilt-based tricks. More »

Drive up the volume for this user-created level from LittleBigPlanet 2, an homage to World 1-1 from Super Mario Land on the Game Boy. Creator Junkvxxl loaded the level three days ago; it became a developer favorite two days ago; it's been played more than 36,000 times in that span. If you have the game, perhaps you should try it for yourself. More »

I will happily argue with anyone that the first LittleBigPlanet was a game more easily appreciated than enjoyed. A marvel of technology and art, maybe not of play. I don't think the sequel will have that problem. More »
