I sure hope you’ve had a chance to dabble with LittleBigPlanet. If you haven’t, you’re certainly missing out on all of the fan-made levels that have flooded Sony servers, causing SOCOM to be unplayable. With all of the creative power behind the game, it’s no surprise players have already started recreating their favorite gaming classics such as Pac-Man, Tetris, Sonic The Hedgehog, Space Invaders and even Dig-Dug.

There will no doubt be more classics to come as the games creative utilities and player base become larger with each passing day. Looking for something challenging? Check out Vince’s level. He put some time in creating the most frustrating level known to platform games, but also threw in a hidden passage to bypass most of the stage! Genius.

This weekend I happened to acquire a nice PS3 as well as a copy of Little Big Planet. If you haven’t heard, the game isn’t supposed to go on sale until Tuesday due to some issues with the game’s music. I’ve been playing it with my roommate for a day or two and I gotta say it’s impressive. It reminds me of Super Mario Brothers mixed with Donkey Kong Country in ways. The LBP servers aren’t up yet, so I can’t report on any of the level-sharing features.

As for creating your own worlds, it’s quite tricky but easy after you spend a little time with the editor. The tools are robust and allow nearly endless creation. I’ll give you a broader update once the game’s servers go online and I collaborate on some level creation. Throw your PS3 gamertag in the comments or add me. My handle is fusioned.
