F’in Saved 16 – Thwarted Again

  I am not sure why but Curiosity has me hooked. Every day I log on and start tapping away, collecting coins, and occasionally making dicks.

Still in alpha, Towns is an...

Little Big Planet Minecraft

Two creative titans, Minecraft and Little Big Planet, together at last. LBP has been know for its knockoffs; anything from terrible versions of Limbo to perfect recreations of PacMan. Many have tried and many have failed, creating bad versions of Minecraft in LBP, but a user named LightingGiant has has pretty much pulled it off. While this is not a perfect recreation it is a wildly accurate clone, given the platform that is. Just consider that this game is intended to be a...
