LittleBigPlanet

Characters have the power to move anything in this glued and stitched-together 3D landscape; they have the power to design, shape and build both objects and entire locations for others to view and play. There’s no complicated level editor; all of these skills can be learned by simply playing the game. Creativity is part of the gameplay experience and playing is part of the creative experience. Players can make their world as open or as secretive to explore as they like. When it’s ready, they can invite anyone within the LittleBigPlanet community to come and explore their patch – or can go and explore everybody else’s.

  • Play the game, learn the skills and then find your own way to play. There isn’t a set solution to anything – you live LittleBigPlanet however you want to.
  • Create your own content – customize your character and build your own locations. You have the power to rearrange anything in this unbelievably tactile landscape.
  • Build, move, create, collaborate – then share content with friends or publicly by inviting the whole world to come and visit your own location on LittleBigPlanet.
  • There’s not just one way to play. Players craft their own individual experience

PSP Screens

Over the past two years, I've had two PSP's. I dropped one of them and it broke. The second one fell in the shower, and as you can imagine, it no longer operates. So I had two broken PSP's, what was I going to do? Well naturally I took them apart to see what it was like inside. It took a while, and my thumbs were throbbing after try to get all of the miniscule screws out, but I successfully removed both LCD screens from the cases. They still have the connector pins and look okay. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what I could do with these screens? I might be able to sell them as replacement screens, but maybe someone can think of something more creative.

Diablo 3

Photobucket

So Blizzard revealed an upcoming game, Diablo 3 about a month ago at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris. I've never played either of the previous Diablo games, let alone even heard of them. But I do enjoy some other Blizzard games such as World of Warcraft and Warcraft 3. After watching the cinematic trailer that Blizzard released and the additional 20 minute gameplay video, I can't help but think that it's going to be an awesome game. Diablo3 is of the role playing genre, set in a fantasy world brimming with peril and destruction. Players will choose a hero from one of five distinct classes, which so far include the barbarian and the witch doctor. These heroes will then fight their way through beautiful environments and intense dungeons filled with hordes of monsters and bosses. Players can gain experience and unlock new spells by defeating enemies as well as acquiring powerful loot and items. Now my only problem is that I have no idea when the game will actually be available to purchase and play. If Starcraft 2 is any indication, it could be upwards of a year.
