The latest press release for Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light has revealed details about the gameplay, a fresh batch of screenshots and concept art.

The game is expected to mark a significant shift away from the origins of the series: for a start, it will lead with the Lara Croft brand in favour of the traditional Tomb Raider title; it’s going to be distributed as a downloadable only title; it’s the first Lara Croft game with co-op; a fixed camera will also be used for the first time; and it’s expected to be a lot more action packed than previous Tomb Raider games, with concept art showing Lara sporting a flame thrower and other screenshots picturing Lara facing up to a cluster of giant spiders.

LittleBigPlanet was one of the PS3’s biggest releases for 2008. However, what you may not know is that Sony has had no share in its developer Media Molecule.

That has now changed as today Sony announced that they have purchased the company.

If you were holding out for Final Fantasy XIII to join the likes of LittleBigPlanet and Resident Evil in adopting motion control then you will be waiting a while.

Yoshinori Kitase, Final Fantasy’s producer told CVG that playing a game as long as Final Fantasy would be “too exhausting” for gamers.

Momentum is building for the Fall release of Sony’s Motion controller, but it seems that they may be looking to the past to attract new sales.

If you were lucky enough to be selected for the LittleBigPlanet Water Beta several months ago, then you may want to check your emails, as Media Molecule have just sent out the reward codes.

White Knight Chronicles releases on February 2nd in North America – yes that’s Tuesday next week!

And so to celebrate the game finally releasing away from Japanese shores, it will be spawning in other areas of the PlayStation 3 experience too.

If you have read our LittleBigPlanet Retro Review, one of the things you will see that we’re frustrated about is that Europe has yet to get the Game of the Year edition for the fantastic title.

Well if an Amazon listing, and a PEGI rating website are to be believed, Sony hasn’t forgotten about European gamers after all!

Welcome to the PS3 Attitude Retro Review, where we take another look at titles that were released at least six months ago and discover whether they still ought to garner your attention. This time, it is the turn of LittleBigPlanet.

Earlier we announced that Sony Computer Entertainment had dated their new Motion Controller (a provisional title) for release this autumn. With its release in sight, we contemplate whether the PS3 with motion sensing is a match made in gaming heaven or whether we should expect to be overrun by a deluge of lobotomy-inducing novelty games – as has arguably been the case with the Wii.

Gran Turismo 5 and LittleBigPlanet were also present in non-playable form. Gran Turismo 5 and Super Stardust HD have already been shown at CES, so there was nothing more to say about those games.

But apparently LittleBigPlanet actually worked really well in the third dimension…

Welcome to the first Homerun of the decade; the best place to find news and views on the latest content to hit PlayStation Home.

After getting put on and then put off last week, the London Pub has come back to Europe: Previously it was only on for a few hours after Sony discovered some problems with the space.

Yes alright we haven’t done one of these for a long time, but it is back with a great deal of new content to talk about for PlayStation Home!

Arguably the biggest addition to the platform this week which comes at quite a surprise is a brand new futuristic public space called Sodium One.

Sony has finally updated Life With PlayStation again today, bringing the service to version 1.20.

Life With PlayStation provides PS3 users with various channels that provide content from the internet.

Well the news had already leaked out thanks to the PlayStation Network trophies, but it is now official that LittleBigPlanet will be getting pirate Sackboys !

Media Molecule has announced the Pirates of the Caribbean Premium Level Kit and costume pack for release on the 22nd of December.

It has been a long time since the last level packs were released for LittleBigPlanet. The Metal Gear Solid add-on was a huge success and after flicking through LBP’s trophies on PSN, we now know that more are on the way, and it sounds like they will be treat.

Fancy a Pirates of the Caribbean level pack? Well that’s what appears to be on the way and it will feature water!

Did you know that Sackboy was secretly an assassin back in the day? Don’t let the ridiculously adorable face fool you, he’s quite deadly and he can be yours today!

Monday, November 30th celebrates the largest game update in LittleBigPlanet history.

Update 1.21, which has commonly been referred to as ‘Leerdammer’ will bring a slew of new features, the biggest of which is Online Create, all for the amazing price of free.

Media Molecule has announced that they will be celebrating the one year anniversary of LittleBigPlanet.

Yup, it has already been a year since the day we brought Sackboy home and unleashed hours upon hours of fun on our PS3s.

The music in LittleBigPlanet is a great asset to the game because it helps to set the mood to each level.

That’s why Media Molecule are releasing today their first music pack that adds three new songs to the soundtrack.

We’re big fans of the original Watchmen comic book series by Alan Moore here at Attitude Towers. Whilst we thought the Zack Snyder movie was great, we didn’t have a lot of love for the recent PSN game.

But now we can get our Watchmen fix in a PS3 game that already had our hearts fully captured.

Yes, our favourite de-constructed superheroes are coming to LittleBigPlanet this Thursday.
