LittleBigPlanet Users Continue To Amaze The Playstation Community

administrator

LittleBigPlanet has proven to the gaming community that anyone, and everyone can apply their dream level into Sackboy’s playground, but those that have the right skill, and mind set are able to create something truly amazing. We’ve all been wowed by the massive levels, the LittleBigCalculator, and Tic Tac Toe, but now we have something just as or even more complex than all other levels. The leve recreates Conway’s Game of Life described as a cellular automation in which there are actually no players involved during the game. The player creates a configuration, and watches it evolve. While the idea of this may sound completely boring to the average gamer, the work behind this level is just mind bottling. The moving gears, pulleys, and structure is just unbelievable. The level was created by three students of Olin College, and can be found on LittleBigPlanet by searching LittleBigLife. The video after the jump demonstrates this complex piece of work, and how it pulls together to create the game. In the end all I have to say is WOW. I’m going to go play World of Warcraft to try and forget how stupid this makes me feel. Video after the jump!

Thanks for the tip Nina!

Next Metal Gear game to be on… the iPhone/iTouch

administrator

So instead of getting PS3 owners or Xbox 360 owners angry, they pretty much both get to be angry and annoyed now. Come on, how many gamers have an iPhone or iTouch?? I can tell you. The answer is: not much.

Metal Gear Solid Touch, confirmed to be an original title in the MGS4 universe on 8 levels. And while we know nothing about the game, it looks to be stealth action. The question is, when does it take place?? The screen above looks to be Old Snake, but the press release says Solid Snake?

Anyways, replay value will already be incorporated into the game in the means of points, which can be turned in for MGS wallpapers and other potential goodies.

You should totally go to mycrysis.com and sign up for the program. You'll then get to download Crysis Wars and receive a key to activate your account for free play.
