There’s a certain thrill of the hunt that takes hold when searching for the best user-made levels in LittleBigPlanet 2. Finding something amazing to enjoy later with friends and family is like returning back to the cave with a week’s worth of wild boar — or so I imagine.
But sometimes, you don’t have time to go digging. Your party is restless, and they demand entertainment. Never fear. Although LittleBigPlanet 2 has only been available for a week, I’ve scrounged up nine great custom levels that’ll keep you and your friends occupied for hours.
CALL OF CUTY BLACK OP TIPS: Call of Duty: Black Ops is just a couple days old, but that doesn’t mean you need to head into virtual battle unprepared. You need tips for gathering XP and CoD Points, both essential for beefing up your arsenal with new weapons, killstreaks and attachments. Don’t think less of yourself for seeking out strategies for a military shooter — the U.S. armed forces impart the nugget of wisdom “Aim Towards Enemy” in rocket launcher instruction manuals — so think of this how-to guide for leveling up quickly and raking in CoD points as the gaming equivalent of friendly advice on how not to blow yourself up.

Sub-Zero’s corpse torn asunder on the screen in front of me, I’m standing next to Eddie Ferrier, associate designer of the new Mortal Kombat. I had to ask: How did you guys come up these nasty Fatalities?
Ferrier can’t quite articulate the process. And how could he? Moments ago, he commanded Kung Lao to set his bladed hat on the ground, spinning in perpetuity. Kung Lao reached over the blade to grab Sub-Zero’s ankles on the opposite side, pulling the fallen fighter through, groin first. He lifts both halves of the body, remarkably intact but dripping blood. Ferrier, fumbling through a vague explanation about brainstorming with his colleagues, cracks a subtle smile. He’s been working on Mortal Kombat games since the beginning. I can tell he loves the job.
Crysis 2 has been dominating a good chunk of our free time as we work our way through the remarkably detailed campaign. Few things are more fun than killing aliens in a post-invasion NYC, right?
Well, this week’s Walkthrough Wednesday will make the process even easier, as we’ve compiled some of the best guides to this game to help you on your way towards success.
“Blockbuster” — a term typically reserved for Hollywood’s big-budget summertime offerings can now be easily applied to many video games. Love it or hate it, this is a direction many developers have chosen to trod. Sony’s PlayStation exclusive “Killzone” franchise easily falls under the controversial category, boasting high production values, cutting-edge graphics and giant guns.
The latest entry in the series, “Killzone 3,” is out now and offers multiple game modes, including its unique spin on the now-standard multiplayer component that breeds friends and enemies in equal measure.
We’ve compiled helpful strategies from around the internet for gamers that prefer to socially frag as well as their more solo-minded counterparts. The following guides and walkthroughs will prove beneficial no matter which category you belong to: single-player commando or online team player.
In attempting to stuff new magic into a venerated series, DICE approaches game design by creating innovation and not intentional repetition. The developer isn’t interested in recreating their old games, but fundamentally craft new and visceral experiences for players. Essentially, they want to make the only Battlefield game you’d look to play.
At Captivate, Capcom revealed the first ten playable characters in Street Fighter X Tekken, while producer Yoshinori Ono spoke at length about Tekken’s affinity for unusual characters and how Street Fighter X Tekken will handle the situation.
Four player co-op with players taking on the role of Umbrella Security Service soldiers launching an operation in Raccoon City in 1998. Are we stoked? You bet and who’d ever guess we’d all get see Resident Evil 2′s Mr. X once more?
Not too long ago, video games varied in genre, but in recent years the industry is gearing up for an all out assault on our love for explosions and multiplayer in the form of Battlefieldand Call of Duty. Quantic Dream head David Cage wants developers to try something new.
