Multiple sources have leaked what appears to be detail and screenies from the sequel to one of the most original games of 2008 – Little Big Planet.

The biggest difference appears to be that rather than just creating platforming levels you can create whole genres such as racing and RTS style games.

The screenies can be found at the littlebigland fansite below:

Looking promising.

At long last I have finally put foot to my own ass and finished Final Fantasy XIII on the PS3.

57 hours isn’t bad going for an RPG with a tunnel vision complex, but i’ll leave it there whilst I attempt in vain to segregate all the thoughts in my head and notes on my pad into some kind of readable review.

Bring on Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

I think.

Yes, yes and yes!

Nope, this is not a transcript of a sex scene from a straight laced English porno but instead my own personal nerdgasm at the sheer coolness of another God Of War game on PSP.

After the all-encompassing awesomeness that was God Of War: Chains Of Olympus on PSP back in 2006, fans have been clamouring for a portable return for the Greek bad boy Kratos and his violent escapades.

That wait is nearly over, as Sony have announced that God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta will mark the second God Of War title for the portable platform and like it’s predecessor, it shall be a prequel to the current trilogy developed by the immensely talented folks at Ready at Dawn.

Supposedly dealing with his climb up the ranks to the badass that we see in the home console titles, the game will also detail the history regarding his family, tattoos and the obsession he has with threesomes.

Okay, maybe not the last one; but still, we’ll be given a chance to see just what galvanized Kratos into the unrelenting badass that he is today.

Pushing the boundaries of what portable gaming should be capable of back in 2006, God Of War: Chains of Olympus was every bit a worthy counterpart to the PS2 titles that were around at the same time, with superb graphics, epic boss battles and compelling level design.

More of that please.

God Of War: Ghost of Sparta gets it’s full unveiling at next month’s E3.

Y’know, all proper like.

Blizzard. Oh Blizzard! Why oh why did you see fit to incorporate PvP battleground disrupting achievements in your world events?

After some two to three hours spent trying to break the back of the ‘School of hard knocks’ achievement and finally walking away with my hard earned ten points, I can honestly say that those hours were some of the worst I have spent in WoW.

Pretty much ever in fact.

Amid the cries of ‘STFU, go 4 bases and f**k the flag’ on Eye Of The Storm and of course ‘Dont kill hordez plz’ on Alterac Valley, I plumbed the depths of despair as I tried desperately, but also innocently, to get the achievement so that by proxy I could get the meta-achievement allowing me to get that shiny new 310% speed flying mount.

Do I blame the folks facerolling on their keyboards about how messed up battlegrounds get when these silly events come around? Of course not, but you would think that after three or so years of this that people would be used to it and just grin and bear it.

Ultimately however, the fault lies squarely at the feet of the Blizzard Overlords who I bet have endless cackling sessions at our expense as they gleefully survey the chaos that their design decisions have wrought.

Please, no more. If you guys *ever* feel the need to put in a similar achievement, with a similarly disruptive mechanic, please resist the temptation.

Please!!
