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.
We have some juicy screen fresh from KOEI for their upcoming racer Fatal Inertia. The game is being developed by KOEI’s Toronto based team which is led by Producer Takazumi Tomoike, creator of the Dynasty Warriors series.
In Fatal Inertia, each craft has its unique weapon, power and skill which allow the player to manipulate force, velocity and time. Drivers will need to learn to outmaneuver explosive magnets and rockets which affect the stability of each craft if hit. The racecrafts in Fatal Inertia hover just a few feet from the Earth, and any errors at such intense speeds can end in serious disaster.
KOEI have designed some beautiful levels for this game which you can see in the screenshots. KOEI has revealed some levels which are: Lost Canyon, Deepwoods Pass, Paradise Isle, Devil’s Peak and Glacier Bay. This game is looking very nice and is somewhat reminiscent of Wipeout, which is a good thing. Fatal Inertia is due for release on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this September.
Uncharted is one of my most anticipated games to come. We were introduced to the game over a year ago when it was an untitled project, however the first trailer left many including myself wanting to see more. Recently this year the games developer, Naughty Dog (creators of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter) named the game as Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.
The story takes place with central character Nathan Drake, a modern-day fortune hunter. Drake along with companions set out to explore for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, which happens to lead them to an undiscovered island somewhere in the pacific ocean.
Drake and comrades quickly learn that the island is covered by deadly mercenaries. They must fight for their lives as they journey deeper into the island to uncover the hidden secrets.
Now I have watched the trailers and looked at the screenshots for Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and I can tell you that this is one game to look out for. Visually the game is looking amazing, with stunning environments set in a lush and vibrant jungle. The character models are excellent and although the developers at Naughty Dog haven’t applied all that much texturing, the character models look amazing. The gameplay appears very fluid and there are some very interesting combat elements as previewed in the trailers.
Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune is ultimately a third person action/adventure game which is similar to a cross between Tomb Raider and Far Cry. So you can expect a lot of jumping, shooting and action scenes. This game definitely deserves to go on anyone’s wanted list – It’s already on mine!
