EDGE magazine is well known for its hard-line, unforgiving reviews so it comes as no surprise that a truly excellent game like Little Big Planet passes their high standards with flying colours.
The only award the LBP was nominated for, but didn’t win - was the Best Online Experience and considering the hiccups from the games launch, it’s perhaps understandable that LBP missed out to zombie kill-a-thon Left 4 Dead.
Another huge congratulations goes out to Media Molecule and their clearly excellent product, Little Big Planet.
Congratulations, you are the BIG winners for me.
Little Big Planet is the best game ever! Until the second arrives of course xD
360 sucks btw…
Best hardware for 360? Doesn’t the 360 have issues with overheating, RROD, scratching discs and so forth. Also, there’s no support for HD media or bluetooth or built in wireless as far as I know… Sounds like the fix is in.
@Boo Radley: And 360 users can’t play Little Big Planet xD
