Where Should You Pre-Order Little Big Planet?
4:00AM Mike Fahey | While we told you about the awesome LittleBigPlanet pre-order goodies last week. we didn’t tell you that you aren’t getting all of them in one big chunk. Now, what you get with your pre-order depends on where you place your pre-order, as evidenced by the latest posting on the official LittleBigPlanet news site. Today two retailers – Amazon and GameStop – launch their pre-order programs, and both offer a different LBP goodie for you to choose from. Folks who pre-order from GameStop get the exclusive Kratos in-game model, which is actually a costume in four parts – skin, goatee, blades, and clothing. Meanwhile, Amazon.com pre-orders come with the exclusive “LittleBigPlanet Creator” digital miniguide from Brady Games, possibly indicating that someone at Amazon lost a bet. So it looks like GameStop is on top so far, but they’ve still got the Nariko SackGirl pre-order location to reveal, and that could be a deal-breaker for me.

Kratos’ Armor Makes Guest Appearance in Heavenly Sword
2:00AM Flynn De Marco | Comparisons between Heavenly Sword and God of War are inevitable considering the similar control scheme, but apparently the creators of HS haven’t shied away from giving props (literally) to their obvious inspiration. PlayStation Underground forum poster KiNGoFClubs discovered this little homage to Kratos buried with in the game. During one of Kai’s missions, Kratos’ GOW2 armour and Blades of Chaos can be spotted hanging on a gate in a castle courtyard. You got to hand it to the designers, if you’re going to take inspiration from another game, at least be cool enough to own up to it. You can check out more screen caps here on the PlayStation forums.

Larger, Meaner Kratos Figure
9:30PM Luke Plunkett | The old God of War figures were mean. Surly, even. And they were only 15cm tall. What happens when NECA release 30cm figures? That’s right. Twice as mean, twice as surly. Mega-Kratos comes with a severed Medusa Head, two interchangeable Kratos heads and the Flaming Blades of Athena, plus he also gargles little electronic sound bytes from the game like “I am what the gods have made me”. You sure are, Kratos. No word on release dates, but these should be very, very soon, since they were originally scheduled to ship in August.
