Sony Buys Media Molecule

Here's some happier news for the day.
Media Molecule's extremely succsesfull debut title, Little Big Planet has gotten more than just fan attention.
Sony announced today that Media Molecule is now officially part of the "Sony family".

"Since Media Molecule's inception, we've had a uniquely close relationship with Sony. Over the years they have consistently shown their dedication to Creative Gaming and Media Molecule, not only through their support of the company, but their willingness to take risks and embrace our often unusual approach and ideas." said Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule. "What we've achieved already with LittleBigPlanet has proved this to us and we're excited by this new chapter of innovation and creative gaming, for all involved."

It's not the world's biggest surprise, but its nice to know that Sony is backing Media Molecule for their creative efforts thus far. I'm sure we'll start to see even more Sackboy/Sackgirls on PSN soon, and maybe even something about the rumored Little Big Planet 2...who knows.

Little Big Planet Now Has Over 2 Million User Created Levels

Like many of you, when Little Big Planet (LBP) was first announced I immediately started to think of what kind of crazy stuff I could make with Media Molecule's creation/platformer game. However, when the game actually came out, I was too busy playing everyone levels rather than creating my own.

Although it seems that many of your level creation ideas never got translated into actual gameplay, there's still a lot of people out there making some very fun and innovative LBP levels.
Today LBP reached over 2 million custom level creations, which is a huge milestone for Sony, Media Molecule, and all of the LBP fans. It took about 9 months for LBP to have 1 million user created levels, and now they're already up to 2 million.









If your thinking of going to check out one of the these 2 million levels however, I'd highly suggest you wait a day for the "ApocolyPS3" to be over.
