Little Big Planet

So I've decided to preorder Little Big Planet. This is a rare occurrence for me and I believe only the second time I've preordered a game. The first was just a few months ago with Disgaea 3 so that I could ensure that I get a copy (silly) and to make sure I got the limited soundtrack CD's. I've yet to play it though. How sad...

But Little Big Planet has continued to catch my eye ever since Spring or so. It looks like such an enjoyable little platformer with endless possibilities. Every time I see gameplay footage or see stuff related to it or the crazy levels people are building, I just get this stupid smile spread right across my face. (I feel much like sackboy's). I'm looking forward to playing it later this month and hoping it does well for the PS3. It sounds like it will. Everyone who has or wants a PS3 seems to be talking about this game. I hope it moves consoles too as a larger install base around the world will only strengthen the legitamacy of the PS3 and more developers will have to cater to it instead of horrible ports.

So the reasons I preordered don't seem like much, but it was a tipping point. First being that Gamestop has expanded their bonuses. Now I get not only a Kratos skin from God of War, but a Medusa and a Minitaur as well. Plus I get a special level pack with a few extra levels. Even though I wasn't a huge GoW fan, this was enticing for the sheer amount of extra goodies I get. And I believe I can mix and match parts of the costume so I can just make my regular sackboy have a red goatee all the time. So extra parts are most awesome. Then there is the launch event downloads. For buying LBP in the first week, I get a special T-Shirt skin, and also a "launch" suit for my sackboy. For a game that I was more than likely going to purchase anyway, I decided why not preorder? And then earlier today, I heard of two anouncements from TGS. Apparently, Sephiroth and Old Snake will also be accessable characters for sackboy! That is so totally awesome.

I cannot wait for the possibilities of this game. Oh and yes, Kotaku. I think I did pee a little.
