LBP has arrived !!!!

[Gottaa]

it takes as much or as little time as you have to spare, once you get past the video tutorials (which are in the create mode and at the very start of LBP to explain controls and stuff)

If you are creating stuff you do it all very much at your pace, and can pause it any time you feel like it, if you were playing online you'd probably want to pay full attention for the length of the game, if you were just playing on your own you could play through as fast or slow on a level as you'd like, the possible exception is if a level has a race portion, or some of the mini games that are created.

As I'm still learning about all the controls and possibilities in the creator mode the video tutorials mean I do need to pay attention there (that and I like listening to Stephen Fry's voice overs and comic bits), but that's it really, and also if you are in create mode and mess up as your attention gets pulled to something else, you just hit left on the digital pad and it rewinds the action so if you were in the middle of say bulding a bridge and made it live and saw the whole thing colapse you could rewind it back to the point it was before you let the action resume ...

That's probably a really bad description but yes, LBP would suit you well with the exceptions I listed before about online/mini-games/races

Just to keep what is my inner monologue going, I made my first gun last night, and unlocked the "Expert creator" tutor

And tried a few online levels, some really good one's, some highly rated one's I thought were horrible, but overall was alot of fun, though I was a little shocked to see the people I'd been playing through a level with online suddenly appear in my pod, we had a little dance, I think I learnt how to hit other sack people and alot of fun was had

No more updates now until Media Molecule put the you-tube upload thing live

Is this worth getting or does it get get boring quickly?
My Brother got a PS3 and has asked me to suggest some games, I was thinking of saying this but after the initial hype I don't hear much about it now.
Any other games worth getting? I've recommended him 'Drakes Forture' so far. He got MGS4 with the package.

Hard to keep a thread going all by myself, it's a great game, which gets better the more people playing it (though local I think > online) if nothing else over x-mas Ella's two nephews came over and four of us played LBP for a fair while, given more time they would have created a level, but time ran out, and then after food they ran upstairs to play Left4Dead.

LBP is the only game I really play on the PS3 though, loads of player made content is still appearing, I'm still really enjoying the create stuff even though I can't get my vehicle quite right (would be easier with a mouse in create mode IMHO) so I'm not going to recommend anything else

But LBP is 17.99 delivered on Play.com, you can't really go wrong if you ask me, even if you never get into the create stuff and just play the stuff in the game and the user created content.

My top use for the PS3 is *cough* *cough* getting .avi movies from places, shoving them on a USB stick and watching them on the telly plugged inot the PS3 *cough*, it's also a great way of catching up with TV programs I've missed

You cannot go wrong with burnout paradise too

COD4 online is quite good. Not played COD5 so can't comment.

burnout: paradise is indeed lots of fun. what i like about it is that i can play it for 5 minutes in the middle of a raid, get something done (or at least write off a few dozen cars) and not have to remember what i'm doing.

LBP i wasn't keen on. got it for christmas, and by the end of boxing day it was back in the case and i don't think i've taken it out since. just not my kind of game i think.

left4dead is my game of choice now, just a shame its not out on ps3, as that would rock for my normal R6:vegas group...
