LittleBigPlanet Can Do Your Math Homework

Ever since the beta for Littlebigplanet hit, we’ve seen numerous level designs, some good, some not so good. From classic Mario remakes to re-imagining of the humongous spectacles found in Shadow of the Colossus. Heck, even Tristan is a game designer in the making. But simply from an engineering standpoint, I think this is by far and away the best yet. A user created a real-time working calculator that accurately adds and subtracts numbers. The levels is said to use 610 magnetic swtiches, 500 wires, and 430 pistons. I didn’t see what the big deal was until the camera panned up. That’s when my mouth hit the floor.

The Conduit – Still Going Strong

Last time we checked in with High Voltage at PAX, they had only just gotten their hands on Wii MotionPlus. So I wasn’t too surprised to see that there really wasn’t much being done with it at the Nintendo Media Summit – but my proverbial socks were knocked off when I saw how much they’d done with the graphics in that short amount of time.

A ‘Left 4 Dead’ LEGO Zombie Apocalypse In Pictures

If you happened to miss this weekend’s Brickcon 2008 in Seattle, as we unfortunately did, you missed the appearance of the “Zombie Apocafest” project. It was one part Left 4 Dead, one part The Big Lebowski and two parts LEGO. It was also 6.8 parts awesome, with a massive zombie-filled scene of Left 4 Dead-style destruction, featuring copious amounts of LEGO gore.

MadWorld Still Not Playable (in the US, at least)

Sega is going to sit on this game ’til it hatches. We’ve seen screen shots, we have videos; and if anyone can give me an accurate count of times “black and white and red all over” has been used to describe MadWorld, I’ll send you a cookie.

But nobody besides PR reps is allowed to touch the freaking game. Lucky for me, I know one of these PR reps – Mabel Chung gave me my second job as a tester at Sega way back in the day. She might not cut me any breaks with the no-hands-on rule, but she will give me a reasonable explanation (which you have to click the jump to hear):
