What about ModNation?

Word is revving up that LittleBigPlanet is making a return trip to PlayStation 3 in a form most unexpected — as a cart racer. The news slipped out of North American retailer meeting Destination PlayStation courtesy of Future Shop's Twitter account. LittleBigPlanet Cart Racing, as we'll call it for now, is said to feature 3D...

The world of LittleBigPlanet won't stop growing

Media Molecule's announced that the do-it-yourself game creation platform has now received its 6 millionth upload. That's a lot of levels. According to the Guildford-based developer, 2.5 million of those levels were created in the last year since LittleBigPlanet 2's release. Apparently, up to 40,000 levels are created every week. Even if you subscribe..

The PlayStation Vita was made for LittleBigPlanet

Double Eleven and Tarsier Studios' latest entry in Media Molecule's sandbox series is one of the most intelligent experiences available in the handheld's initial wave of software.

Video inside

It's been a long wait for the LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Pack, but it's nearly upon us with release set for next month. Sony featured the add-on as part of its Gamescom 2011 presentation, with the video below hopefully answering some questions about what exactly comes in the package. Are you looking forward to putting the Move controls...

You can see the origins of a free-to-play game in LittleBigPlanet

The accessibility of the PlayStation Store within the game makes the package ripe for freemium potential, and when you factor in DLC content packs for costumes, stickers and materials it's easy to see how the title could adapt to that business model. In fact: that was the original intention — at least from Sony's point-of-view..

Media Molecule is moving on from LittleBigPlanet

While it will continue to support past releases, the British studio wants to put all of its future energy into creating something new. According to the studio, making this decision felt like a child leaving home. "It's a bit like, if you think of LBP as having a child, Sackboy was our child, you get to the stage where they want to leave..

This is a sweet story with a bitter after taste

British based developer Media Molecule has announced that it is considering taking a break from the LittleBigPlanet series in order to "focus on some new ideas". While this sounds like immediately wonderful news, it would be sad to see Sackboy sit quietly in the sidelines for a few years while Media Molecule works on its next big thing. That..

With a little help from their friends

LittleBigPlanet on PSVita is going to be quite a bit different from it's previous iterations, thanks mostly to the system's touch and motion controls. The Vita's gyroscope, touch screen and rear touch-panel will allow us to interact with Sackboy and his world in all new ways, and open up a slew of fresh...

Official details inside

After the first LittleBigPlanet 2 Move details last week, the European PlayStation Blog has given up some of its virtual column inches to covering the upcoming DLC, shedding a little more light on the matter. Sony's current plan is to launch the pack at the very end of summer, which spells an August/September release, with...

What's in the box?

We know that LittleBigPlanet 2's PlayStation Move support is coming in September, but now we know a little more about what's set for inclusion in the update. Community member StevenI over at the LBP Central forums got chance to try an early version of the pack and helpfully listed the contents, including the 18 new levels,...

Stephen Fry's currently not on his annual hiatus from Twitter, and has announced on the social networking platform that he is off to do "some voicing for LittleBigPlanet" before lunch

This is important news that we felt compelled to share with you. So let the speculation begin — exactly which version of LittleBigPlanet is ol' Stephen Fry-Up working on? We suspect it's probably the PlayStation..

There's a flaw in Sony's PlayStation Network "Welcome Back" package that was always going to occur

While Sony's offering a pretty compelling selection of games, the hardcore fans are likely to be the ones that miss out — mainly because they'll already own the choices. Still, think outside of the hardcore circle and Sony's "Welcome Back" gesture is more than generous. In Europe and North..

Remember way back in the summer of 2008 when throngs of people wistfully exclaimed, "LittleBigPlanet will never work

" To those people, it sounded like a good experiment. But who wants to actually create? Turns out — a lot of people. Sony's just announced on the PlayStation Blog that there are now over four million LittleBigPlanet levels available. The post points out that if you gave each..

DLC costumes out next week

PlayStation Move Heroes marks an auspicious event: the first time six Sony mascots have joined forces, but have you ever considered how much more powerful the unity would be if Sackboy were involved? You can stop wondering now, as Sony announces there'll be PlayStation Move Heroes costumes coming to LittleBigPlanet 2 next...

Still don't know when

We were all disappointed that Media Molecule's highly anticipated LittleBigPlanet 2 didn't feature more in the way of PlayStation Move support, save for the inclusion of standalone title Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves. Recently the topic has come up again, with rumours pointing to a PlayStation Move-enabled "Teacher's...

Not just a motion add-on

We don't know when LittleBigPlanet 2's Move update will find its way to our consoles, with Media Molecule only giving a vague "in a few months" release window, but at least we have a little more idea of what the pack will actually include. Just a little, though. In an open chat on Facebook, as reported by...
