Finally, no LittleBigPlanet experience would be complete without the iconic Pod... which is why you'll find the LittleBigPlanet Pod Penthouse in Estates this week!

Crafted from the finest cardboard, this personal space can be rotated to get the best out-of-this-world view!...

162w ago - Today 2K Marin's Creative Director Jordan Thomas has revealed that BioShock 2 Rapture Metro PS3 DLC hits PSN tomorrow alongside a video of it in action and news of a price drop to $39.99.

Additionally, Elizabeth of Bioshock2Forums.com has unveiled new patches to address issues across all three platforms for BioShock 2.

To quote: The Rapture Metro downloadable content pack and the free Kill 'em Kindly downloadable mode that will be releasing simultaneously tomorrow, May 11th, 2010.

So, both of these DLC offerings are multiplayer-focused. The Rapture Metro Pack contains a rank increase to 50 and, when you reach it, you'll win the opportunity to begin anew with Rebirth mode.

This resets you to Rank 1 with a Golden Bunny Mask, and a prestigious indicator next to your name to taunt lesser organisms. But wait -- there's more!

If you make it all the way to 50 again, you secure the coveted Golden Bucket, which basically tells the world that you're so damn good you don't have to care.





More meatily, the Rapture Metro Pack contains six new playable locations from Rapture's history, many of them offering a distinctly...

176w ago - Sony's Social Media Senior Specialist Chris Morell has posted up the first video of their FAQ on BioShock for the PS3 console.

To quote: We FINALLY got the invite up to 2K Games Marin to talk to the BioShock 2 team, and what better timing than a week away from the game's release on Feb. 9.

We certainly gathered by your abundance of Tweets that excitement for BioShock 2 is crazy high.

So on Monday, I sat down with Senior Producer Melissa Miller and Lead Environment Artist Hogarth de la Plante (with a chillingly lifelike Little Sister standing eerily behind us) who answered a heap of your questions - so many in fact that we had to split the video into two parts.

So today, you'll see part one that focuses primarily on BioShock 2's single-player campaign, including details on story development, philosophical influence, plasmids and much more. And head on back tomorrow for part two, which delves deep into the much-anticipated multiplayer mode.

To quote: January's Episode 20 is on the way, featuring eternal damnation, ceaseless precipitation, stylish decapitation and undersea exploration.

Hell is the last place you want to be--unless you're impatient for the mythical adventure of redemption found in Dante's Inferno. Veronica Belmont circles around EA to experience how the developer plans to bring the epic 14th century poem to life.

There's also an interactive quiz built into this episode that will determine your degree of sinfulness.





We've been keeping an eye on Heavy Rain since the Qore team's first visit back in 2008. And, as promised, Quantic Dream has crafted a film-noir world that is both graphically impressive and psychologically disturbing.

As you play the part of four different characters whose lives intertwine on the trail of a serial killer, your every decision has an effect on the story around you. This extensive preview also includes an interactive cinema demonstration of the consequences of a few of...
