Unfortunately Little Big Planet has been recalled by Sony and Media Molecule due to a song which contained phrases from the Qur’an. After hearing of the delay of Little Big Planet, we have searched everywhere for available copies of the game. The only place where these babies are selling is on eBay. Below is our compilation of the current copies on offer. The official release is in 2 weeks so we recommend purchasing off eBay while they last.

If you haven’t been hiding under a rock for the past week, you no doubt know by now that Sony next huge game, LittleBigPlanet has been delayed. We have however been lucky to get our hands on a review copy of the game. After watching various trailers over the net and listening to all the hype you would have high hopes for this title. Those who were lucky to experience the beta already have a taste for whats to come. Those who haven’t experienced LittleBigPlanet for themselves however are in for a nice treat.

The key to LittleBigPlanet is its simplicity. Who would have imagined that a side scrolling game could gain so much interest in todays hardcore gaming market. This game is for everyone, from young to old, male to female and casual gamers to hardcore gamers. Media Molecule have managed to create a title which caters to people in different ways. Those looking for simple fun can instantly play the campaign mode. Those looking for something more can create their very own levels using what seems like a simple editor which is in fact quite powerful.

Team work plays a large role in Little Big Planet and up to four players can play either online or offline. Apart from working together, each player is also competing against the other to gain the most bubbles. LBP can be completed in about 6 hours however the game encourages you to revisit level to explore the levels. Once you do finish, the online component is huge with user created content.

The issues I found with the game was mainly with the controls. Because the game is physics based, the controls can become counter intuitive. Another problem I had was that only 3 lives are given for each level and once your sack character loses all, then you must restart the level from scratch.

Having said all this, there some problems here and there, but know this - LittleBigPlanet absolutely delivers.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is surely on its way to the public. It’s impressive online beta shocked everyone with it’s great internet connection and game play so much that when the beta it was released they had a few server problems because of how much people were in that one server. Of coarse there are going to be a few servers when the real game comes out.

The beta was very impressive indeed but people just can’t wait for single player campaign mode to come out and that’s when the fun begins. It will be the start of where the story left off from all the other Metal Gears. there is only one month to go and people have even pre ordered it 3 months ago which means that there is going to be a hustle to get that one game. The release date of this game is on 12/6/2008 so get ready!

The Bourne Conspiracy shocked and stunned people with it’s action-packed game play and the graphics. The Bourne Conspiracy Demo is right now available on the PS3 and Xbox 360 for download. The game will be out in the 3rd quater of 2008.

After having played the demo I can say that the action sequences are superb. The game play however seems limited at this stage. There are only 2 action buttons that you can use for attacking which narrows down the actual game play. Surprisingly, the graphics are quite good for a movie which has been turned into a game. It is still early stages but i think this game has some great potential.
