What happens if you take a massive collection of Sackfolk, a lot of love for LittleBigPlanet and a team of eager photographers looking to take snapshots of the huge variety of Sackboys and Sackgirls that inhabit LittleBigPlanet?

You get the Epic Definitive Community Group Photo, that’s what!

If you’re in the group photo, why not play a game and see if you can find yourself? It was certainly the first thing I did when I saw the completed group photo!

This absolutely epic collection of Sackfolk from within the community was put together by Ostler5000, DaSackBoy and OmegaSlayer – so please give them and everyone else included in this amazing group photo, a big ol’ pat on the back for creating such a visual treat of Sackpeople.

This week’s Team Picks include a wonderful sound extravaganza in Sackboy’s latest adventure on LittleBigPlanet 2, a wooden platforming paradise in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and Pookachoo brings us another 3D platforming experience in LittleBigPlanet Karting.

The highly anticipated BioShock Infinite is out this week and we’re excited to tell you that you will also see Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth heading to LittleBigPlanet this week in the BioShock Infinite Costume Pack.

Not only will you see our two heroes arriving on LittleBigPlanet, you will also find that Handyman, Motorized Patriot and even Songbird are not far behind them! The costumes will be $1.99 each, or you can grab the whole pack for $5.99.

The new costume pack will be compatible with your favorite LBP titles, LBP2 and LBP PS Vita rolling out tomorrow. The update for LBP Karting will be here very shortly and we’ll keep you updated on a launch date.

So it looks like Booker and Elizabeth will be having plenty of adventures on LittleBigPlanet!

We have a couple of great new wallpapers over on LittleBigPlanet.com to commemorate the release of BioShock Infinite this week, so be sure to head on over and pick them up!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

This week’s LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks sees Sackboy travelling across two great adventures, one set in an industrial factory and the other set in space. Meanwhile we also get to meet the loveable Jump Bot as we join him on his own 8-bit platforming adventure!

Two Much of a Good Thing is the first of our Mm Picks which sees Sackboy armed with a Creatinator with the power to shoot goo that can stick to any wall and will give Sackboy the ability to climb that wall as though it was Attract-O-Gel!

This comes in very handy for Sackboy in this factory setting but be careful to only fire a limited amount of goo pellets at a time or the effects will wear off if you stick around for too long! So be on your toes at all times and you should be able to make it through this level safely!

Sackboy infiltrates the UFO Factory in his next platforming adventure.

It’s just a flying visit though! A quick tour through the factory!

Be careful though, there are plenty of chances for poor Sackboy to get squished or burnt during his tour of the UFO Factory!

Well, it would be rather dull if the factory had to adhere to some silly safety regulations…

Our last stop this week is with Jump Bot and his charming platforming run that sees him double-jumping and wall-jumping in this wonderful 8-bit experience that has a true retro feel to it.

Hop on over to LBP.me and check out these great levels and the latest LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks!

Community Picks: LBPCentral Spotlight 107

Community Highlights

LittleBigPlanet PS Vita was released last September and even after our first six months, we are still absolutely amazed by the creativity and amount of skill present in the LittleBigPlanet community!

To celebrate we made a short video showcasing just some of the highlights created by the LittleBigPlanet PS Vita community. Take a look!

That’s just a small sample of some of the amazing levels that have been published in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, that you can download today and take with you wherever you go!

LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Picks

This week, we have a couple of new LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Picks for you. The first Team Pick is The High Life. In this level, Sackboy is for some inexplicable reason stuck on a swing and you have to guide him through the level using touch and tilt.

Next up is Los Alamos! In this colorful platformer we get to see what would have happened if Oppenheimer had met Sackboy before the Trinity test.

We have these levels and even more great community levels for you to download in the LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Picks, so head on over to LBP.me Vita to queue up some of these great levels to download or play when you’re next online on LittleBigPlanet PS Vita!

To help bring these creations to life, we’re re-releasing the FREE Spring Creator Kit for LittleBigPlanet 2 for one week only. This Creator Kit is filled to the brim with all sorts of Springtime goodness, so be sure to skip over to the Store later this week and pick up this exclusive pack!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

Our LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks this week features a great selection of skill-based games that will really put your jumping abilities to the test!

We said earlier that Spring is on the way and what better level to put a Spring in your step than JumpIT! JumpIT is a great challenge level where you take control of a perpetually running stickman sprinting across an urban landscape, to keep him running… All you have to do is jump!

Shinobi Challenge is our next challenging level where you jump, swing and bounce across an oriental landscape before heading into a tower and use your Shinobi skills to ascend this high-rise challenge. With gameplay very reminiscent of Tower of Whoop, you will see yourself coming back again and again to keep your combo score up and beat the high score.

Our last challenging level this week is Melting Point, a more classic platforming level for Sackboy which grants him some additional wall-jumping and ledge-climbing abilities. Put these new abilities to great use and try not to get burnt!

If you think you’re up for these challenges, jump over to LBP.me and check out these latest LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

We have a brand new selection of LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks for you to check out – This week we have a fast-based arcade shooter, a hardcore run and gun adventure from the days of old and a platformer that sees Sackboy climbing the North Tower of the Calamitous Clock.

Nightingale – Northern Flights is an amazing arcade game that sees the player taking the helm of the titular Nightingale, as the craft speeds across colorful skies and through dark and devious bases to stop the diabolical group known as the Harbringer in an intense shoot out of epic proportions!

Mr_Hijinx is back this week with another retro game creation in Peace Denied. This game has an incredible old-school vibe with an 8-bit design and quite the insane level of difficulty! It’s quite possible to complete though and a handful of extremely skilled players have managed to complete the challenge. Have you got what it takes to join them?

For our last level this week, we join Sackboy in an adventure that sees him ascending the North Tower of the Calamitous Clock. This level sees Sackboy armed with the power to shift the cogs and machinery to clear his path up the tower.
