Interestingly, the US folks missed out on Front Mission 3 for PSOne which turned up on the UK store today…

If your a PS3 only gamer, go try the free trial of Castle Crashers. It is clearly one the best Bite Sized DD games this generation.

CC was okay but nothing to write home about. I would suggest trying the demo before you decide to buy it. it’s way overpriced, for that money you can get Shadow Complex or both Assault Heroes.

I recently found out that the first LBP sold 4.5m worldwide, it explains why Sony keep releasing DLC for it now.

That’s the beauty of things like LBP costumes, avatar items, virtual items for Home etc… there’s always someone who will feel the need to own it. Money for old rope.

well, btw the source of 4.5 million figure is Wikipedia, which gives a link to House saying it has been played by that many people. according to Gamespot it shipped 3 so far.

Surely the 4.5m figure would have been taken down from Wiki if it wasnt valid, im suprised its sold that much, it could be a 5m seller pretty soon, dam impressive sales.

I can take the figure down if you want.

Not for nothing, but be it over 3Million or around 4.5Million … it is still a rocksolid game. I am very much looking forward to the next one.
I am kind of suprised that more attention isn’t made of the fact that XB360 doesn’t have a game even remotly close to LBP. The level of creativity you can find in community made scenerios if off the chart.
LBP2 is going to be well loved for a long long time.
