Review: Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves

It's been a little over two years since we first got our hands on LittleBigPlanet and were immediately enraptured by both the series' unique visual style (imagine if Dr. Frankenstein plied his trade Tinker Toys and craft supplies instead of dead flesh) and their adorable mascot, the irrepressible Sackboy. The original was released to widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike, with the robust level building tools spawning a wildly inventive online community that has generated more than three million user-created levels to date.

Now, with an ambitious sequel looming just around the corner, Sony felt the time was right to give LBP fans an appetizer of sorts by tossing that cute little knitted rascal back into the Jurassic (Jurassack?) period for the PlayStation Network release of Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves.

It Comes Down to 6 Choices: ‘Mass Effect Genesis’ Detailed

We already know that the original Mass Effect will be condensed into comic book form when Mass Effect 2 hits the PS3 next month. After getting a title for that interactive comic, we now have some details on it. Mass Effect Genesis will take 20+ hours worth of game time and spit out 6 key decisions for players to make. This comic won’t serve as a mask for the installation of the game, though. It’ll actually kick in right after the epic opening moment of the game ends, with Shepard’s life at the balance.

This Uncharted 3 Demo Footage Burns Beautifully

New Killzone 3 Commercial Reveals More Level Variety

Variety is always a good thing, especially when it comes to first-person shooters. Whether it be different forms of guns to use, or distinct levels within the campaign, variety is needed in order to prevent a shooter from getting old quickly.

Has The Newest ‘Resistance 3′ Trailer Just Confirmed Melee Weapons?

Resistance, thanks to Insomniac’s creative muscle, is known for some really inventive and satisfying weaponry. Whether they’re the Auger or Bullseye, the Resistance games don't hold back when it comes to its arsenal. That trend is sure to continue in next fall’s Resistance 3. A game that finally showed off its gameplay at last night’s VGAs. Mixed with some more gritty live-action scenes, the footage transitioned nicely into actual in-game footage. And the result was amazing, especially that ending which in my opinion, hints at a possible new gameplay addition.
