Twenty days ago, Sony released the LittleBigPlanet BETA version to those lucky enough to have the right code. The Internet went nuts over these keys, crashing a few big sites that offered access to the BETA.
As soon as the first batch of keys was sent, gamers got into create mode and built some amazing levels and objects. Playing, creating and sharing became a daily ritual for many LBP fans around the world.
Now the BETA is closed. It won’t work anymore and you’ll have to delete it soon. The problem is you can’t replace it with the full game yet.
The launch date is still 10 days away, 10 long and boring days without LittleBigPlanet to put a smile on our faces.
Update: The mystery behind Microsoft Hardware's "Say Goodbye to Laser" teaser appears to have been solved, in record time.
Readers of sites including Engadget and Gizmodo have uncovered references to and photos of a new Microsoft "Blue Track" mouse on sites including the German version of Amazon.com and the YouGame online store. Among other things, the logo on the front matches the image at the end of Microsoft's teaser animation.

Once a staple of the games market, the supply of platform-exclusive titles from third-party developers is drying up. Aylon Herbet explains why this isn't such a bad thing... The gaming industry is changing in this generation and there's a bunch of possible reasons.
It may have to do with the higher cost of development, different systems' market share, peripherals or different control requirements, but none of that really matters. The reasons are irrelevant, the point remains the same: we are seeing less and less third-party exclusives (that is, games that are only on one console and which are developed by someone other than Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo themselves) in the world.
The recent announcement that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to Xbox 360 brought this change into focus. All they needed now was a Metal Gear Solid 4 announcement and we could start poking a stick at the corpse of third-party exclusives. Let's face the facts, even if Metal Gear Solid... More »

Nobody can deny that the initial excitement of the Virtual Console has waned in recent months. Releases have slowed down in the shadow of Wii Ware, and the quality of the releases themselves has taken a nosedive.
Last year, we all had hope. Quality games were abounding. There was a ton of hype and everybody was looking forward to having all of their favorite old-school classics together on one console, all legally. There's a certain satisfaction to that thought: five generations of classic gaming in a tiny white box.
Sadly, that dream is starting to become tarnished by the harsh realities of business. As much as we love them, game companies exist to maximize their profits, not cater to nostalgic fans. As such, there's a lot of games (or superior versions of games) we might not be getting any time soon, if at all.
Where's My Cut? Regardless of how we may feel certain titles are timeless, companies tend to think of video game releases as being f... More »
Just when you think Sony has shown its hand, it pulls out another wild card. Criticized at first for trying to cram too many features into the box and raising the price tag, Sony has continued to deliver even more features while cutting the cost.
While not every model of the PS3 has the full suite of features (memory card readers, WiFi), there are still more than enough new features to help you get the most out of your expensive PS3 purchase. And what Sony doesn't provide, crafty users are there to supplement.
Here are a few of the things we think will help you get started being a PS3 connoisseur.
Say Goodbye to DRM:
iTunes or Napster addicts know what a pain it is to pay for music and then find that you can't listen to it wherever you want. Thanks to DRM technology built into the audio files (something iTunes is slowly abandoning), you normally can't stream those files from your PC to your PS3, thus enjoying your music library in t...

Namco has always been ahead of the game in the 3D fighter stakes, owning two of the superlative stallions in the four-horse race – Dead or Alive and Virtua Fighter would be the only two other games that are in the same league.
And although its Soul Calibur series has arguably never hit a duff note (discounting Soul Calibur Legends in the same way you wouldn’t consider Death By Degrees part of the Tekken lineage), its longer-running stablemate Tekken can’t be afforded the same praise.
The series evolved seamlessly from its debut in 1994 to its seemingly unstoppable high point of Tekken 3, but then things started to go a little off-course with the follow up, Tekken Tag Tournament. Although not a bad game per se, Tag Tournament just wasn’t the evolution fans were hoping for, offering up only a few returning characters, better graphics and a poorly implemented tag system.
And then when the fully-fledged sequel was released, it felt unrefine... More »
Forgive the pun, but we feel that's the best way to describe this particular gadget: for only $19.99, a "USB desk vacuum" can be yours, and you can say goodbye to those photo-perfect bits of grit that always seem to accumulate next to your laptop.
More than likely it'll break after five minutes, just like every other unamusing office gift you'll receive this holiday season. Coming to a USB-powered trash can near you!
