If you thought the first Little Big Planet was awesome, prepare to have your mind BLOWN.
Catchy tune, right? In the first Little Big Planet Media Molecule gave us the tools to build our own levels. Now they're giving us the whole tool box and letting us do whatever we want with it.
A powerful new set of tools awaits you, tools that vastly widen the scope of possibility, and that hand you the power to create WHOLE GAMES.
Through a familiar but revamped Popit, you can bring your characters to life, compose your own music, direct cinematic masterpieces, wire controllers directly in to your contraptions, connect easy to use switches, microchips and circuit boards to build epic bosses, vehicles, machines, and puzzles.
Make your wildest dreams come true, yes, even that one.
Oh, the possibilities. It appears we'll be getting our hands on this before the year is out. Stay tuned. LittleBigPlanet.com
Uh oh. Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer just got even more interesting. My favorite part being when you start out in a Mexi... You know what, just watch the video and see for yourself why you shouldn't be able to wait until May 18th.
This week we see Final Fight Double Impact released on the PSN and XBLA, Double Impact contains updated classic games Magic Sword and Final Fight released for around $10 or so (£8 could be the UK price point) Personally I can't wait to get my hands on Magic Sword as it has been a long time since I last played the game. (Some time in the early Nineties in a dingy sea front arcade in Rhyl to be exact) It truly did amaze me at the time with its fantasy styled hack and slash gameplay.
One novel idea I liked was the fact that you could open gates to get a ninja (or some other character such as a warrior, magician or knight) to help you out in the game as you walked along fighting skeletons and a whole host of other creatures. (Including some impressive looking bosses) Magic Sword in my opinion is one of Capcom's greatest games of the 90`s so if you like retro (Why did I have to slag off MegaMan 10 just to be made to look dumb now?) then this is the good kind of retro game that you should be playing.
Final Fight isn't to shabby a game either, so with two classic games for the price of a normal arcade game? You could do a lot worse than pick this package this week. (Like buying the 3D remake of Bionic Commando from the bargin bin for the same price as these two great games.)
