10 years of LittleBigPlanet!

Wow, I can't believe it has been 10 years - 10 years since LittleBigPlanet (PEGI-7) first came out...!!!  LBP1 holds the incredible accolade of #2 best PS3 game of 2008 on Metacritic, with a score of 95, which is almost unheard of!*  If you've never played it, where have you been?! 

Happy Birthday LBP!!

We're big fans of Media Molecule in this house - the LittleBigPlanet games (of which there are three, though the 3rd is perhaps not so good) and Tearaway are all brilliant.  (Also there's a Karting game, but I've never played that, so I can't talk about it...!)  Since we're such big fans, I thought it was worth mentioning that there's a special 10 year celebration for LittleBigPlanet - a game that still has a massive community following, with lots of player-made levels.  10 million, apparently!  Some of them are completely amazing and unrecognisable as being made in LittleBigPlanet

It's perhaps little surprise that Media Molecule's newest game, Dreams, takes this content creation to a whole new level.  As part of their 10 year celebrations, they have re-made LittleBigPlanet's 'The Garden' in Dreams.  As you can see from the video below, it's remarkably true to the original.  It's a hard concept to grasp just because it lets you do so much - it'll be great fun seeing what people make with the new game!


One of our favourite YouTubers, ZebraGamer, started off by playing LittleBigPlanet, so he's doing a special 'happy birthday' series to mark the occasion. He's totally family friendly (maybe a few 'Jeezes' slip in, but that's all) and we've watched many of his videos.  There's a lot of love for LBP and it holds a special place in a lot of people's hearts.  It's a lovely game to play, happy, well-made, fun... and for a lot of kids who've now grown up they remember it fondly.  So, if you want to see what 'The Gardens' looked like in LBP, look no further...


There are plenty of special birthday things going on, so be sure to check out the twitter feed @LittleBigPlanet to see what's happening.  There's also info on some special bits on the PlayStation Blog.

Happy Birthday LBP!  Happy Birthday Sackboy!  :-D

* The game that beat it was Grand Theft Auto IV.  If you were wondering.

Seb was trying to get me to work out my Top 20 video games of all time, and I narrowed it down to 20... but it was too hard to put them into...
