Innews that is sure to disappointour European and Australian readers, Sony has confirmed thatLittleBigPlanet‘s user generated content will be region locked, meaning gamers in PAL territories won’t be able to download levels created by their friends across the pond and vice versa. This is a clever thing to let happen in the age of the Internet and the global gaming market, by the way. Oh, and that was sarcasm. Thanks to Sony using regional servers for content uploaded by gamers to the PlayStation Network, it’s simply not possible to share your work with a global audience....

Someone, somewhere mentioned “Super Star Wars“and “Xbox 360” in the same sentence. Oh man! I guess that means it’s totally going to happen, right guys!? The person in question was LucasArts executive producerHaden Blackman, who mentioned the sentiment to CVG. “There are certainly some ideas we’ve kicked around [with the original trilogy] and we’re always trying to capture the spirit of some of those big moments from the films,” he says....

Microsoft knows that theHalo 3beta sold copies ofCrackdown, and at least one company representative believes that theHalo: Reachbeta — a thing that is packed in with every copy ofHalo: ODST— will sell copies of the upcomingHalotitle to both potential and old fans alike. “The only way to access this beta will be through theHalo 3: ODSTdisc, so we feel there’s another extremely compelling reason for both fans and newcomers to the franchise to experienceHalo 3: ODST,” Microsoft’s head of gaming and entertainment devices UK, Stephen McGill, revealed toMCVina recent interview....

Videogame snake oil salesman Peter Molyneux has declared thatmodern gamesare becoming boring, due to them all being the same. Fortunately, he’s making anon-rails shooterfor Kinect, which is pretty radical and differ … oh. “I love new ideas and innovation. I’m trying to think of a more diplomatic way of saying this, but I’m just a little bit bored of doing things the same way in games,” he said inXbox World 360magazine....

You know how it works. With the help of each other, attempt to figure out all of the disguised video game covers. They all share a common theme that, once solved, can help you figure out the harder ones. Sincelast weekwas a little rough, and since today’s a holiday, consider this week a freebie. I made this Monday’s Mind Teasers extra easy for everyobody — let’s see if one person can figure out all five in one guess!...

Did you survive thelast mind teaserwith your brain intact? Good! Because it’s time to put your head to good use again with this temporal puzzle game. If you even remotely enjoyedPortal, then this is a flash game you definitely need to try. The slick metallic and plasma graphics are spot on, and the electrical gameplay is every bit as fulfilling as you’d hope by looking at the picture above. Toss in some really pleasing sound effects and you’ve got something that’s hard to stop playing....

Now, I can’t read Japanese very well (translation: at all), but I did manage to catch the English words MSX and Neo-Geo amongst a sea of non-Roman characters onNintendo’s official website. What does that mean, you ask? First, settle down — stop knocking everything off your desks and screaming in eager anticipation. Confirmed bycubed3, Nintendo’s Virtual Console will now offer games from 80s standardized home computerMSXand classic (but expensive) 90s consoleNeo-Geo....

I hadn’t watched an episode ofMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magicbefore tonight due to a complete lack of exposure. It’s as if somehow I have fallen outside of the target demographic for the tale of a young unicorn sent to discover the wonders of friendship through playful adventures. Thank God somebody had the decency to make a fighting game based on the show. The fan-created work,My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic, will ultimately feature a roster of 17 playable ponies but don’t ask them to include any crossover characters....

As Jim told us this morning, the PS3 titleAFRIKAwould indeed be making its way to North America, with Natsume stepping up as the publisher for the release. Now we have the official details and some new images from the North American version for you. Natsume’s first PS3 title will be hitting shelves early this fall. Even though National Geographic is not publishing this title, their mark still remains in the information, photos, and videos packed withinAFRIKA....

Okay, I’m starting to hate postingall of theseDuke Nukem Foreverleaks. I keep forgetting it may not actually come out anymore and the more assets I see, the sadder I get. So yeah, a bunch of new assets were leaked online again today. The leaks may come to an end though, as all of the personal blogs that have been leaking the assets have beenshut downorhidden. Sites likeNoFragandShackNewsmanaged to snag all of the images, thankfully....

The newest trailer forGod of War IIhas finally hit the net! Fans of the series are dying to know the release date for this bad boy and with all the gameplay footage Sony keeps teasing us with, there could be a kidnapping of one of the Santa Monica studio employees before long. Give us a release date![ViaKotaku]

First, the video above shows us some new Pokemon. They seem to be in the middle of one of the game’s “dress up” mini games, so we can’t be sure how their standard designs will look. All these blurry screengrabs show us is a floating blue octopus dressed in nothing but a top hat, a beard, and a smile, and a weird pink elf thing in a white dress, brandishing a giant war hammer....
