LittleBIGPlanet is a natural choice for Co-Op Casual Friday.You'd be hard pressed to find a game more fun, enjoyable, and still appropriate for everyone, from the very young child who's never held a controller before to a seasoned gamer who has played it all.

Let's hope Rorshach's mask moves!
 

We've got a nifty little update for you regarding LittleBIGPlanet, recently released in a Game of the Year edition.  First of all, Sony is giving away free codes that allow you to download the Norse Mythology pack for the game.  Should be fun to recreate "What's Opera, Doc?" in LittleBIGPlanet form.  (What, I'm the only one who had that idea?)

If you'd rather pay for your Sackcontent, well, look no further than this Thursday.  A Watchmen costume pack is coming to the PSN.  No price is available yet, but we're hoping these little Watchmen goodies aren't as overpriced as other recent downloadable efforts.  I predict about 4 hours before someone creates a Watchmen LBP level that's better than The End Is Nigh.

We couldn't have said it better ourselves

Remember when we told you about LittleBigPlanet PSP's co-op? Well unfortunately, we were misled. LittleBigPlanet on the PSP will not feature the co-op that we know and love in the cute little big world.

In case you hadn't experienced the adorable cuteness that is Sackboy yet, next month might be a good time.  One of the finest co-op titles available for the PS3 last year is getting a feature packed rerelease.  LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition is coming on September 8.

With Little Big Planet, more than just gamers play together!

Playstation 3 and PSP have hinted at cross game synergy since the PS3's release.  We've seen content transfer between the systems with the likes of PlayStation 1 downloads, and the PSP is said to work remotely with some PS3 games, which I can't seem to get to work.  What we haven't really seen yet are games tailored to use this feature to enhance gameplay and add bonuses. That will change with the upcoming PSP release of Little Big Planet, uniting both versions of the game through something called "Cross-talk."

A rather spectacular announcement has been made over at the Playstation blog.  Charming co-op platformer LittleBigPlanet can now claim over one million creations.  Yes, you read that right, since last November when the game was released, a thousand thousand levels have been uploaded by the user community.  That's hard to think about, but here's a quote to put it into perspective...

Amazing, isn’t it? Just think, this means that a new level has been published roughly every 21 seconds since LittleBigPlanet launched.

Back before the game was released, it rode a wave of hype that seemed impossible for it to live up to.  Launch delays, a last minute controversy, and, to put it mildly, a few early network issues upset many (including us).  Still, the game is quite unique and the creative tools are incredibly deep.  It's good to see that so many fans have taken the time to create and share so we can play.  Anyone have a particular level you'd recommend for some great co-op?

User created content is always something to look at in games, especially ones with only 8 levels in the story mode. Little Big Planet has taken the user created content one step further by adding an entire community behind it. Building levels co-op style with your buddies, then sharing them online has helped Little Big Planet hit an impressive milestone. Media Molecule has recently announced that Little Big Planet has over 600,000 user created levels!
 

“Since its launch last October, LittleBigPlanet has made a tremendous impact on the game industry and overall gaming community by allowing players from across the globe to interact through the LittleBigPlanet online community via shared levels and objects, rankings and user comments”

Enjoy entire Classic platforming games remade, to recreated movie trailers, and even some things you might not expect, that have put the PS3 to great use. Celebrate Little Big Planet's 600,000 user created levels by using them, and make some levels with your friends to contribute to the mix!

One of the best things about video game customization, is our ability to pay homage to our favorite things. Since the games release, Little Big Planet has been huge on player created content reminiscing the side-scrolling classics, including Mario, Mega Man, Sonic, and even (kind of) Tetris to name a few.

As the challenge to create impressive stages increased after, someone went above and beyond to put together all of the stages from Contra, in it's beautiful 8 level glory, with specific details to knock your socks off. To watch the video 30 times, hit: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, select, start! (Or just push play 30 times.)

That's right two of the greatest co-op games of all time Little Big Planet and Contra together at least.

LittleBigPlanet for PSP been rumored for a while, but now it's official.  The cutest little mascot Sony's ever had is definitely heading toward the Playstation Portable.  No official release date has been announced other than "before the end of the year".    Sounds like another fall release to me; didn't they learn from their previous mistake?  LBP for PSP (just rolls off the tongue) will be chock full of new content and levels, not just a port.  You'll be able to play, create, and share on the go.

I'm not a big fan of the PSP, but with titles like this one, and the new Phantasy Star game, I may be changing my mind.  Sackboy's game seems like a good fit for a portable system.  Creating levels while on long trips will make the time fly by, I am sure.  Speculation has begun as to connectivity with the PS3 version of LBP.  We'll keep you posted as more news becomes available!
