LittleBigPlanet is a game built on its community; it’s about sharing, playing and creating, and Alex Evans and Mark Healey, the founders of Media Molecule know that. “We’ve got more ideas than we could ever possibly fit in ten LittleBigPlanet games,” says Evans when eu.playstation catches up with both him and Healey at the unveiling of LittleBigPlanet 2 on PlayStation 3. “What the community helps us do is focus. The community helps us cut down on these ideas and give them what they want.” That’s exactly what Evans and the team at Media Molecule have done with LittleBigPlanet 2, the colourful sequel to the smash hit original.

Explosive carpentry

With a name like Rico Rodriguez, you wouldn’t expect the star of Just Cause 2 to lead a mundane life. As it happens, his usual day includes tethering himself to a helicopter using his grappling hook, parachuting into a gunfight and then blowing up a fuel depot. And that’s just his commute.

If you want to try before you buy, there’s a generous Just Cause 2 demo on PlayStation Store that gives you a massive 35 square miles to explore and explode.
