Sackboy: A Big Adventure Breathes New Life Into LittleBigPlanet Series

5 months ago

The LittleBigPlanet series has had quite a journey from its humble 2008 beginnings. What began as a 2D puzzle-platformer with charming narration and a robust level creation suite turned into a showcase for the power of the PlayStation 3. Sackboy as character, with his fine stitching and expressive face, allowed the platform to shine in ways that it hadn’t until that point for a side-scrolling platformer. The 2011 sequel saw the addition of more creation tools — including being able to make more kinds of games than just those rooted in side-scrolling platforming. LBP 3 brought new characters to the mix and expanded the creation suite to an even greater degree, while integrating all of the created content in both prior games. It’s been almost six years since we’ve seen a Sackboy adventure and now he’s starring in a solo game that plays completely differently from any LBP game yet.

BRUSSELS/LONDON (Reuters) – The European Union and Britain said on Friday there were still substantial differences over a Brexit trade deal as the EU chief negotiator prepared to travel to London in a last-ditch attempt to avoid a tumultuous finale to the five-year Brexit crisis.

“Grabbed my heart in a big warm hug and didn’t let go”

The worst thing about Sackboy: A Big Adventure is trying to find a fault with it. Which of these fabulous crafty worlds wasn’t absolutely perfect? Did any of the truly magical musical levels make my whole body vibrate with joy a little less than the others? Were any of the ingenious mechanics, the grappling hook, the sticky glue for running up walls, the jet boots, anything other than an utter delight? No, no, and hell no. Sackboy might have changed a little since his start in LittleBigPlanet in 2008, but his first appearance on PS5 proves he’s still a PlayStation icon.

‘We were astounded’: Big E ‘Golden Tickets’ sell so fast that some customers were cut off mid-transaction

WEST SPRINGFIELD — The Big E’s “Golden Ticket” lifetime passes sold out Wednesday in a minute and 2 seconds — so fast that potential customers were in the middle of completing their transactions when the online system kicked them off.

“We were astounded, and offer profound thanks to our friends and fans for their support of Eastern States Exposition and our mission of agriculture, education and community,” said Noreen P. Tassinari, a Big E spokeswoman.

She said The Big E has been contacted by jilted potential buyers and is working to complete their transactions. This means that The Big E will likely sell more than the 100 tickets — at $1,000 each — it had originally offered. But no one knows yet exactly how many.

On Monday, Eugene J. Cassidy, president and CEO of the Eastern States Exposition, said he’d consider offering even more lifetime passes if demand was a
