The tenth LittleBigPlanet Contraption Challenge has been a massive success, bringing in over 1,000 entries looking to impress the world with their creative and unusual contraptions. This time the challenge was to create an Amphibious Vehicle which could travel across land and water, and you didn’t disappoint with your submissions, which were played over a total of 200,000 times in less than a month.
From all the entries, the PlayStation Forums team had the tough choice of picking out the six finalists and their contraptions.
Once a year the world turns a little bit Irish; rivers are died green and leprechauns roam the streets causing chaos, all in the name of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.
St Patrick’s Day is next Wednesday, the 17th or March, and so this week we will be re-releasing the Leprechaun outfit, so that Sackboys and girls everywhere may celebrate St Patrick’s day in style.
Head into the LittleBigStore on Thursday to grab your free Leprechaun outfit, and remember; everyone’s Irish on March 17th!
The LittleBigWorkshop Monthly Create contest has announced the theme for this month’s level building challenge, and that theme is ‘sports’, a theme which we’ve been told does not include bomb survival levels!
The LBW Create contest resets at the start of each month, and the winner of each month’s challenge is rewarded with the much coveted Rare Prize Crown. To enter the contest, find out more details, or just check out some of the entries, head over tot he LittleBigWorkshop forums.
LittleBigPlanet has become a home to a fairly vast amount of extra downloadable content since launch, and we wanted to have a little party to celebrate just how awesome that was.
DLC for LittleBigPlanet has expanded the game in all directions, bringing new costumes, stickers, materials, music, levels, and toys to players and creators, enhancing the tools available for building levels, and so too enhancing the variety, quality, and abundance of player-made levels.
On the LittleBigStore this week, a set of four costumes from Level 5’s White Knight Chronicles – a brand spanking new PS3 game, and the latest thing in JRPG fashions, or so we’ve heard.
The costume pack allows Sackboy to dress up in the garb of the White Knight himself, his foe the Black Knight, plus the Dragon Knight, and Leonard, the protagonist of the game, a boy who is able to harness the power of the White Knight, and combat the evil forces of Magi.
All of these very shiny costumes will arrive on the store this Thursday!
The first Contraption Challenge of 2010 will be the first challenge involving water, and is also your chance to win a PSP Go!
For this challenge you need to make a vehicle that can travel across both land and water. However, we don’t just want to see a floating car with a rocket on the back – these challenges are about creativity and originality, so we want to see vehicles using innovative methods of movement or which change and work differently when they hit the water. Think outside the box!
This week, we will mostly be celebrating the Chinese New Year, with the re-release of this pair of free costumes for Sackboy, sporting some festive red lanterns.
According to everyone’s friend, Wikipedia, tales and legends tell us how the beginning of Chinese New Year started with the fight against a mythical beast called the Nien…
Love is in the air. If that’s true, it means you could accidentally breathe it in, and just like an airborne toxin, it could infect you; turning you from a normal human, into a day dreaming, love-sick puppy-dog-eyed lump, quite useless to anyone, and unable to function without sighing all the time and drawing hearts on things.
This coming Sunday is Valentine’s Day, the one day of the year when the air is most likely to contain the love bug, and we hope it is one that you all get to catch!
