ModNation Creations of the Week

Amazing creations in ModNation get shared every day and we are playing a ton of them. If you are interested in submitting your mod, kart or track to be a future "creation" of the week be sure to visit up on the official ModNation Community site and who knows? You might see your handiwork on the PlayStation.Blog.

Mod of the Week

Mod Name: Royal Racer
Creator: Icandy55

Decked in flames from head to toe, this Mod looks ready to bring some heat to any track the Kart is on. The color scheme is simple, and the decals are detailed but subtle. The Royal Racing team definitely has the look. Now, if there were only a matching Kart....

Kart of the Week

Kart Name: Royal Racer
Creator: Icandy55

The perfect complement to this week's Mod of the Week, the Royal Racer Kart carries over the same classy design and simple but effective color scheme as its Mod counterpart. Unfortunately, using both the Royal Racer Mod and kart didn't improve my skills, but MAN I looked cool coming in last!

Track of the Week

If you have a video(s) of your track submit them to http://www.youtube.com/user/TheModNationChannel by emailing mailto:ModNation@Playstation.Sony.com and we will include them in the blog if your track is showcased.

Track Name: The Elephants Graveyard
Created by: Laidbackcat

Laidbackcat says: "Race through a track dominated by these majestic creatures!"

Laidbackcat is a true ModNation Artist. As good as his track designs are, Laidbackcat goes the extra mile and makes some of the most interesting props I've seen in ModNation. This track in particular features some really impressive sculpted elephants.

Track Name: Creepy Crawlie Garden
Created by: Laidbackcat

Laidbackcat says: "These gardens have been taken over by insects and arachnids! Featuring a phenomenally large tarantula as the centerpiece attraction! Not for the squeamish..."

I've never been especially fond of spiders, and thanks to this track, I have a full on case of arachnophobia. That giant tarantula is amazing, but it's a bit scary, and so is the big loop around it. In addition to my new hatred of spiders, I think I also hate water now (stupid difficult fountain shortcut!).

Track Name: Calamity Falls G.C.
Created by: Laidbackcat

Laidbackcat says: "Annoy the upper classes as you interrupt their afternoon game of golf with a race! Enjoy the tour of this majestic country club's splendid grounds, but watch out for bunkers!"

It was just coincidence that I happened to be driving Gopher in the Golf Kart when I raced on this track for the first time, and it turned out to be the perfect combination. Much to my pleasant surprise, this track actually feels like racing on a golf course.

Every time I'm actually playing golf and I get behind the wheel of a golf cart, I dream of mashing that thing all over the course and driving like a maniac. Thanks to Laidbackcat for making my dream come true. This is brilliant.

This was already included in the game. If you go through the skin files from a backup you will find many different ones there. Kratos was there and i saw some Sony Prototype too. So basicly you have to unlock something that is already there.

how do i download and use these ?

[PS3 News]

It will be in the PSN update next week he said... so you would have to grab it there using a PSN account and install it like anything else you would from PSN, this isn't JailBreak news so no "tricks" are required.
