The plan is actually to include all the user-generated content in the final retail release of the game. There’s currently a poll on theLittleBigPlanetwebsite asking whether you would prefer to start with a clean slate or see these levels added in....

Oh joy! Dale North’s The Sound Card feature is back! I love videogame music and it’s always a pleasure seeing what Dale North likes. Or in this case with the latest Sound Card, what he hates. That One Winged Hutt track is … something else. Destructoid Discusses videogame taste, I have a hands-on preview ofDead Space, E 4 All isn’t looking that hot, Dyack needs to stop talking, some guy isn’t shaving untilFable IIis out, and plenty more happened on Monday....

StarTropics This series focuses on the most memorable videogame moments of all time, but who says some of these self-proclaimed amazing moments aren’t unforgettable for all thewrongreasons? Just because something is “memorable” doesn’t necessarily mean it is any good. For as many beautifully moving sequences I have witnessed over the years that have brought me to the verge of tears, there have been an equal amount that have almost made me cry as well, although more from the pain of yanking all the hair out of my head....

“The Memory Card” is a seasonal feature that dissects and honors some of the most artistic, innovative, and memorable videogame moments of all time. We all have experienced our fair share of sad moments in videogames. Some make us wipe a single tear from our cheek — others result in nothing more than a quick sniffle of the nose. There are even some that don’t affect us in the least! But there are some — and you all know which ones I am talking about — that just take us over the edge to an almost embarrassing level of emotional outpouring....

I actually have a lot of respect for cosplayers. The dedication it takes to fashion an outfit based on your favorite videogame, comic book, orAmerican Idolcontestant is astounding. Truly, we’ve seen some amazing displays of skill and attention to detail. But sometimes, the complete lack of shame is well … a bit unnerving, to say the least. Gameist’s recent feature, “The 9 Levels of Cosplay Hell,” breaks down the reasons why I try not to leave the house....

This is it, folks. The last episode of The Podcastle. We’ve been going for two years, with no major breaks in between. Every fortnight, we’ve provided you with European commentary, British social debate, and Wardrox’s ludicrous opinions. Now that can all f*ck right off. In our final ever Podcastle, we answer your listener questions. Not all of them, since most of them were rubbish. At the end of the show, we explain a little about what the future holds for Jim Sterling, Atheistium and that other one....

This guy rocks my f*cking world. In fact, Deviant Art has been throwing out amazing game art lately right and left. This mega sized dedication to the original NES controller measures in at a whopping 40 X 20 inches (that’s 8 times the size of the real controller!). I get an immediate panty soaker for anything NES oriented, but this piece takes the cake. Mad props toThe Real Slim Pickinsfor sharing this one with us....

Some people think thatWorld of Warcraftfreakout kid video is a fake. Some think it’s real. Whatever the case, it has over six million views on Youtube, and like most things that get that popular on YouTube,WoWfreakout got remixed. A lot. The best one so far was the one based onKirby’ Gourmet Race,which was alright. Honestly, theKirbyremixes have been done to death. This new remix based on the originalDragon Ballthough is hilarious....

What do you think of when someone mentions theWarcraftseries? Orcs, magic, grinding, andelf boobsprobably come to mind. But how about dragons fighting F-16s and other mythical creatures in a present-day setting? Not so much. Starcraftproducer, Bill Roper, talks about a pitch forWarcraft IIthat didn’t quite make the cut: After the firstWarcraftand when we were talking aboutWarcraft II, there was an idea for about a week where we’d open another portal open and have the Orcs invade the modern-day world....
