Little Big Planet



LBP is a cute 2d platformer game, I was really surprised by this game because it has very original situations, gadgets, the ambientation and pace are awesome too.

The game may not be very long, but it has many minigames to spend time and, most importantly, stages are crowded of collectibles which become objecs that can be used to create new stages, share them online, download new ones; this is a whole new world that exponentially extends the game length.



Everything is very polished and carefuly detailed, looks pretty, music have some very nice tunes, good little voice acting, it's very fun to play and has a huge online community behind.

Did I like it? Very.
I think you will like it if you:
- Don't hate 2d platformers
- Like to create new stages

I rate my experience with a 8.5 out of 10.

Ultra quick-review: Little Big Planet 2



A correct sequel, more levels, new gadgets, a bit different pace... but it felt like an expansion for the online community as I didn't enjoy the main campaign as much as the original.
Though it is worth for people who participate on the online community as there are many new things for them.

Did I like it? Yes
I think you will like it if you:
- Don't hate 2d platformers
- Want more objects to create new stages

Ultra quick-review: Little Big Planet Vita



Again it keeps the same formula, looks very good on vita and tries to make good use of the vita specific controls. But again it didn't feel special as the original.

Did I like it? Yes but I'm a bit tired already

Sonic Lost World


















I don't see what's wrong with this game, it's awesome!

The pace is similar to the old Sonic games, even in 3d stages and finally there's way less automation, which is good because now it feels again like the platformer that competed with Mario.


There are the usual 2D stages with additions and also comebacks from the mega drive games. And 3D stages have a new style and now can be played as a platformer with a nice sonic speed.

The game looks pretty neat, not better than Generations (pc version) but has a more "Nintendo-ish" visual style.

It is not very long but has some very nice designed stages that offer a decent challenge where the number of lives is important again too, like the old times!



I've been waiting for this since I saw Sonic Xtreme images years and years ago and I think this is one of the best modern Sonic games out there.

Did I like it? Yes!
I think you will like it if you:
- Are a Sonic fan
- Like platformers

I rate my experience with a 8 out of 10.
