Boo!

No one has died but the game I'm most looking forward to has been delayed, only by a week or so but it's enough goddamnit.

I managed to get into the Beta which was very fun. It looks on the surface to be a pretty straight forward 2D platformer. Which is pretty much is. But the imagination and the craft in the game is immense and really draws you in.

The main character, Sackboy, should conquer the world. When you controlling him, if you press Up on the D-pad he'll smile, press it again and he'll smile more. Press it a third time and he does a huge goofy grin and his tongue flops out. I only mention this becuase it made my 4 year old son laugh hysterically when he saw it. Now he loves Sackboy.

Thank God you can get these in time for Christmas.

I got into the Beta quite late so I didn't get too deep in the level creator. This is absurdly powerful, enabling you to create pretty much anything in the game. One particular user created level I played was a Ninja Warrior level. I love Ninja Warrior.

But this doesn't matter as the Beta has finished and the game has been delayed so I can't play it anymore which makes me sad.

Boo!
