Play. Create. Share. That was the tagline for LittleBigPlanet when it released a couple years ago and at the time the concept Media Molecule was delivering was revolutionary for the home console scene. Never before had a game conveyed such an open and endless entertainment forum for gamers to create their own levels, mini-games, and this concept was a refreshing notion in an industry were genres are becoming trite. Due to the vast and seemingly endless flow of player created content, Media Molecule stated a sequel would never happen, but the unavoidable sequel came forth and Media Molecule has added new content and refined basics from the first game. The big question is, though, are the new inclusions enough to justify the development of this sequel?
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
Classic LittleBigPlanet servers are to be shut down permanently following hacks.
Sony’s drastic move comes after months of downtime for the older games.
It was fun while it lasted. And some of the user created stuff was a blast to play with.
Have to say I expected them to be permanently shut down problem would be in the underlying server architecture and possibly something like a depricated authentication protocol which has to be replaced that the PS3, PSP and vita can't support which is why they can't be securely restored on those consoles but the PS4 does support it.so lbp3 was restored on that.
Given the attackers were able to breach the server there was obviously a fear of lateral movement once inside their servers so I can't blame them for this and it makes sense despite the huge blow to the community millions of hours spent building that community.
Despite this blow I believe the millions of creations are going to be available via lbp3 and it's capability of backwards compatibility with user generated content so that's something to be thankful for still not a huge consolation to the many players who only own a older console but unfortunately that's the world we live in these games are old the older they get the more insecure the servers get which the company that make them.host them on and the more likely they need to be shut down.
Understandable they had to do this better to be safe then sorry. I just wish those right wing racists that hacked the servers and started posting homophobic slurs would get want they deserve a good few decades in prison.

Yes. This is an amazing game. Review is not a well written review. If you are going to give LBP2 a less than AAA score, actually prove to me why that is. The 'If you hated the first one, you'll hate this one' is not a con, nor a valid point. You can say that about anygame. Sad thing to idiot reviewers is that is this game is completely revamped and 100x the game LBP was.
Another excellent review.
GOTY Contender already, easily. This type of games for what it offers and the quality to create other games is amazing and only for 1 console.
Hmm, I never realized that LPB was similar to N4G.
Hop around, explore user-generated content and collect bubbles.
The party just never ends. =/
EDIT @below: Well, yea. You gotta get a bunch of buddies and help each other get bubbles.
Great Score
Just one of the great PS3 exclusives coming this year. Its just January guys!!!
