By AJ Glasser So, really, if you love Indiana Jones even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to check out LEGO Indy 2. It's not a glorified expansion pack,;it's not a LittleBigPlanet wannabe. It's Indiana Jones meets LEGO just like it's supposed to be – and it's looking so much better than the first game.

By Michael McWhertor The rest? Well, there's "Gay Bar." It's now available to owners of the PlayStation 3 version of Rock Band. That's pretty exciting. The full list of goods for this week's PlayStation Store update, including a few new PSP games for your PSPgo, is after this.

By Brian Crecente The launch of the download-only device has "generated strong consumer interest in the overall PSP platform and the PlayStation Network's digital content offering," he said. Sony declined to give any specific sales numbers for this story.

By Luke Plunkett It's something that's been gnawing at me for a while now, but as we approach Christmas 2009 – the fifth holiday season for the Xbox 360, and fourth for the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii – that gnawing has turned into some serious, unchecked mastication.

By Owen Good In this five minute video, Sony's new motion control wand is used in a cooperative mode of LittleBigPlanet. One player handles Sackboy with a Dualshock, while another manipulates objects to help him complete his tour through the level.

By AJ Glasser No Multiplayer: I think it was down to this or the level editor when stuff needed to be cut in order to get the game on the PSP. To be honest, I would have preferred multiplayer, but I understand that level editing is the lifeblood of the LBP community.

By Brian Ashcraft When you think of PS3 exclusive, two things probably immediately jump to mind: that cute Sackboy character and that catchy tune. The undeniable connection "Get It Together" has to LBP hasn't stopped Microsoft from using the tune in this recent ad.

By Mike Fahey As the 2007 Game Developers Conference approached in early January 2007, many folks in the game industry were unsure what to make of Sony's PlayStation 3.

By Brian Crecente LittleBigPlanet was developed by Media Molecule, published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Released on Oct. 27 in North America for PlayStation 3. Retails for $59.99 .

By Brian Crecente How is it that so many people have reviewed LittleBigPlanet? I’m not asking this because the single player levels are so insanely hard (they are), but because a good third of the game still isn’t really playable. IGN Review Run Date: Oct. 13

By Mike Fahey During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur'an," admitted the company in a statement.

By Brian Crecente My son has become completely enamored with LittleBigPlanet. Which isn't that surprising. But what is surprising is what about the game that's enthralling. It's not the play that has him begging to boot up the Playstation 3 every night, but the creation.

By Jim Reilly When I got my hands on the controller and got booted up to the LittleBigPlanet title screen, the first thing I wanted to do was to make stuff.

By Brian Ashcraft So! Today, Luke was working on that MGS4/LBP mash-up, and Mini-Bash asked why that character was dressed as Snake. I told him that was Sackboy, and he's from another game called LittleBigPlanet. And yeah, he wanted to see the trailer for that, so I showed it to him.

By Brian Ashcraft We're excited about LittleBigPlanet. And maybe you are, too. LBP-centric site LittleBigPlanet Central is obviously jazzed as well and got a total of one hour and thirty minutes hands on with the game at this year's Comic Con, taking copious notes of things it noticed. Let's dive in:

By Brian Crecente Evans reminded me that while user-created and shared maps are a big part of the game, they're certainly not the only part. In fact, LittleBigPlanet is going to ship with it's own robust, story-driven campaign which can be played solo or with friends.

By Brian Crecente The news came following an announcement that LittleBigPlanet has been pushed back from a September launch date to October. SCEE also sales of the Playstation Portable, Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 in Europe and apologized for the delay of Home.
