LittleBigPlanet: Out now in the UK

After a short delay due to an offending soundtrack, LittleBigPlanet is officially out now in the UK.  I had been wondering when exactly to post this, as across different markets, retailers in some instances have chosen to sell LittleBigPlanet early anyway.  So I’ve settled for the official (revised) release date in the UK, which is today: November 5th, 2008- Bonfire Night!

Now, I have had my copy of LittleBigPlanet on pre order with Amazon for quite some time.  Last week, I received a disturbing email from them:

Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we
need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:

“Little Big Planet (PS3)” [Video Game]
Estimated arrival date: 12/11/08 – 19/11/08

We are sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

As you can imagine, I’m not particularly impressed with this.  I was hoping that I’d be able to have a mess about on it when I go home for the weekend.  I’m just praying that Amazon are somehow mistaken and my copy will be there when I arrive home.  I mean, what kind of pre order arrives a week or two after release date?!

So, if you don’t see any LittleBigPlanet hands-on thoughts from me round here, you’ll know why.  I am 100% behind the game.  Other than that, I’d like to mention that this game should be a system seller and Christmas hit this year.  It comes quite highly recommended as well, so it’d probably be a good idea if you snagged a copy yourself.

Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 Trophies this Monday

Grand Theft Auto IV PS3 Trophies this Monday– As a gamer who hasn’t spent much time on GTA IV at all, this is the incentive I need to sink some hours into it.  With many gamers who have already completed GTA IV not fancying playing through it again for the Trophies, is this a stroke of good fortune for me or what?!

Coming Out of the Shadows: Rusty Buchert Talks Latest Project

Coming Out of the Shadows: Rusty Buchert Talks Latest Project– Sure, when it comes to games consoles, I’m quite biased.  But if this is not innovation of the art form, I don’t know what is.  Innovation these days seems to be on the PS3 and the Wii.

Make your PlayStation Eye work on Windows

Make your PLAYSTATION Eye work on Windows– Now this is cool, props off to the very talented guy who made this work; some great backwards-engineering.  Obviously the camera will work on any computer potentially, but Sony has not made any drivers for anything apart from the PLAYSTATION 3.  The question is, will any computer users be interested in using the PS Eye?
