back, finally.

I’ve been sick for the past week or so, and obviously haven’t updated at all.
But there’s so much to talk about!

First and foremost – LITTLE BIG PLANET.

I’ve played it a lot since it’s been out and yes, it does live up to the hype. I haven’t had the patience to build my own level yet but I’ve seen it done, and when done right it works out really well. There are hundreds of new levels built all the time. Some aren’t that great, but others are amazing. Just the mass of creativity that the game has spawned is amazing.

The only problem I’ve seen so far is the moderation of the user-created levels. My boyfriend made a particular level with a zombie theme – very innocent, no profanity or vulgar language. A few days went by and several people played it and some even hearted it. Then, about a week later, the entire level was frozen by one of the moderators. No one could play it and he couldn’t edit it. Worst of all, all he got was from the moderator was a PSN message saying that the level had violated some part of the agreement he signed when he got the game, but it didn’t say what the violation was or give him a chance to change it.

The mods posted a message few days ago saying that they had gotten a lot of complaints about issues similar to this one and that they’re working on it, but it seems like something they should have talked about before the game even came out.

Mod probs or no, I still love the game and I’m SO happy it’s here!

Will write more later,
