gamescom: MM pushes limits of Play, Create, Share with LBP2
Media Molecule was demoing LittleBigPlanet 2 at gamescom this month in a Sony booth full of 3D tech, Move games and very, very weird seating arrangements – and yet it still managed to stand out from the crowd. I got a brief 15 minutes with the level creation suite to see just how far LBP2 can push the “Play, Create, Share” concept.

gamescom: Brink is “offspring of Borderlands and Team Fortress 2,” says Keza
Brink is what the offspring of Borderlands and Team Fortress 2 would look like, and not just in its tastefully cel-shaded appearance. It’s got both the obsessive character and weapon customisation of Borderlands and the exquisitely balanced team interplay of Valve’s ultimate team shooter (if not its sense of humour). Over the course of a twenty-minute match at gamescom, it was easy to get a feel for the rhythm and pace of Splash Damage’s innovative FPS, but there’s far more to it than can possibly be communicated during a single game.
