Little Big Planet is Going Free to Play with Little Big Planet Hub

Little Big Planet is a series that I have spent countless hours with. I swindled the first one out of my local Wal-Mart’s hands about a week before release. My dad actually purchased the second one before me and lorded his trophies over my head. And I sunk more hours than I care to think about into Little Big Planet Vita, trying to create a customizable RPG engine. I have it about 60% done, but I have a family and real life things to do, but I digress. During all of...

Duke Nukem 3D is Coming to the Vita

Sometimes miracles do happen. Case in point: Duke Nukem 3D on the Vita. While this may not be a miracle for you, its is nothing short of a blessing from above for me. It is somewhat akin to the amazing spoon you never knew you wanted. You have used spoons before, you understand how spoons work, heck, you might even go so far as to say you enjoy spoons. Then this new spoon comes along, it has the same design of old spoons but is somehow “different.” This spoon has all the...
