600,000+ Huge, that is.  Media Molecule has sent out an email to the cooler video-game blogs out there (um… no I didn’t get one) that there are now 646, 135 user-generated levels available for Little Big Planet.  Most of those are simple points and trophies collecting levels that are silly and fast, but there are some really awe-inspiring and very professional looking levels as well.

Little Big Planet is one of the best family-friendly games of all time in my book (my 5 and 3 year olds are always wanting to play it with me)!  For those of you that are on the fence about purchasing a PS3, this could be the game to win you over.

Resistance and Resistance 2, Heavenly Sword, and Warhawk are all jealous of Sackboy and the amount of attention he gets at our house…

This was posted on whattheyplay.com and I want to spread the message.  Seems as though video games generally get singled out when they generate negative news – so here’s some positive stuff for a change… It seems that a parent of an autistic child was concerned about the games that their child was playing; with specific regard to communication.  After hearing about LBP they decided to give it a try and the results sound great!

I will be sharing this story with some of the folks I know that may have similar concerns.

Here’s a quote:

After listening to you discussing Little Big Planet, I really got interested in the whole game, and like a flash, I figured out a way to get my son into another fun game and also get him to interact with everyone else. So Santa delivered a new copy of Little Big Planet and a third controller this year. LBP bridged the gap between a ‘boys game’ and a ‘girls game’ perfectly, so my daughter is having fun with it, I’m also playing with that third controller.

Here is the best part though; the communication between my son and my daughter and myself has been amazing.
