LittleBigPlanet

Just got LittleBigPlanet and its AWESOME. Steven Fry does the voice over and reminds me of the time he did Hitchhikers Guide(Awesome Film tie-in to an awesome book). I havent started to create any levels but I will start soon. I promised steve that I'd make a level for him. I alredy have a few ideas but its just putting them into the game that will be the trickey part. Been playing through story mode and the levels that Media Molecule have made are pretty awesome.

LittleBigPlanet definately deserves the 10/10 that its got in almost every review site on the (LittleBig)Planet (LOL). Im lovin the game already and i feel that it has soooooo much more to offer.

To keep SRJ and Tristan happy (despite the fact they wont read this) I'll talk about Gears of War 2.

Well what can I say about Gears 2 that wasn't said about the first one? Not much really. But is that a bad thing? Well No. Some very inovative level design. Awesome gore. Awesome Weapons. Some great Enemies. Brilliant online. Atmospheric. Brilliant Cutscenes. Great Graphics and points where you really feel on the edge of your seat.

And Yes... Where the game excells in some areas it shoots itself in the foot(with a torque bow) in others. Team AI that is so bad it almost reduced my friend to tears. A so-so Story. Characters that are really annoying. Points(2-4 per level) in Hardcore mode when the game is unpassable (2boomers w/ chainguns, 20 grunts, 2 flamethrowers, a mortar, 2 reavers(ie Tanks) and a coupe o turrets vs you and Dom under the control of the worlds most retarded AI). Really Terrible Driving Sections (more terrible than you could ever imagine) and the most obvious plot twists in the history of video games.

Please note I am trying to be unbiased so here it goes. The rest of the game is so awesome that it more than makes up for the places where it was less than great.

But heres the thing. The things they excelled in was what was great last time and what was mearly an annoyance last time arround has almost ruined the game this time around. The fact that they have not come away from Gears 1 saying what wasn't done so well means that it has deteriated this time around.

A solid 8.7/10 but a shake of the head. I expected better. F for effort.
