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.

Great news for our speediest Sackfolk― the UFG General Costume and Kart will be making their way on to the Store this week!

Originally a pre-order bonus for LittleBigPlanet Karting, this arcade cabinet on wheels is just perfect for those racers that simply cannot wait to get their LittleBigPlanet Karting fix at any time… Even if it’s during the middle of a race!

There’s a whole range of new and exciting content available for LittleBigPlanet. To take a gander at all of these great goodies, head on over to our official Game Add-Ons Catalogue!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

Our LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks this week pays homage to the Easter Escapades that our community was getting up to over the Easter Weekend. We saw all sorts of creative fun and frolics from community members looking to task their fellow Sackfolk with a good old fashioned Easter Egg hunt!

Take a look at just a couple of the egg-citing levels that were published during the Easter period.

If you want to see what else the community created over Easter, be sure to head over to LBP.me and queue up these great LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks!

The Seasonal Spirit Awesomesauce Award

Speaking of celebrations… Extra-special mention must go to the following fine folk!

• bigsurf77
• chaosgear
• Tropical_Guner

There’s not a single holiday celebration that these guys will let slip by them and for the past 8 months, they have published fun and exciting levels for each occasion.

Halloween, Christmas and even Easter have all been celebrated by these guys and they have worked hard to ensure that LittleBigPlanet has just what any celebration-seeking Sackperson will need to get into the holiday spirit.

For their continued efforts in ensuring that LittleBigPlanet is the number one destination for all of your holiday celebrations, we wish to bestow upon them each a Rare Prize Crown and the coveted Awesomesauce Pin!

Congratulations guys! We can’t wait to see what plans you have for the next big holiday on LittleBigPlanet!

LittleBigPlanetarium.com launches LBP PS Vita Creation Contest

It’s time for a new Rare Prize Crown contest just for LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and the nice folks from LittleBigPlanetarium.com have just launched their fifth Creation Contest to offer you a chance to win one!

This time around they are looking for levels where you can get extreme bubble combos, such as those found in Flounder’s Jump & Jive in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita or in the infamous Tower of Whoop in LittleBigPlanet 2.

The contest is only open to LittleBigPlanet PS Vita levels and, as is customary with any LittleBigPlanetarium contest, they want you to document your creative process whilst creating this level. You also have to use a special item within the level, which this time is the Ballpoint Pen object.

So if you think you’re up for this particularly creative challenge, head on over to LittleBigPlanetarium.com for all the details on how you can enter!

LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Pick

Block Push Game is a neat little puzzle game where you have to push blocks into the right position. Sounds relatively easy at first, but the later levels are quite mind-bending and can get quite tricky.

Block Push Game By Ray-Blu

Thankfully the ever-so-handy Memoriser is put to great use in this level, so if you find yourself utterly stumped by a puzzle, you can go away and play a few other levels and then return to this puzzle level and continue from exactly where you left off!

There’s a whole host of exciting LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Picks available to queue up and download to your PS Vita when you want to game on-the-go, so pop over to LBP.me Vita and check out the full range of LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Picks!

Each week on Sack it to Me, we give just an overview into the latest community activities and creations for LittleBigPlanet. The fun and creativity doesn’t stop there though! Our community is a constant hub of activity, so why not come and join us on the Official LittleBigPlanet Forums?

If you want to keep up-to-date with all of the latest LittleBigPlanet events, discussions and competitions – This is the place to be! So be sure to pop in and say hello!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

It’s time to take a look at some of the amazing creations being published by the community in our weekly LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks.

We start this week’s showcase with Octagon Dial by tksksmz2, a mind-bending puzzler of a game that will see you twisting and switching colors around with the aim to get three of the same color in a row! Incredibly addictive and quite the challenge, have a go and see if you can get the high-score!

It’s time to get really retro in our next level, which was created by Mr_Hijinx.

Bunchy’s Adventure is a wonderful 8-bit extravaganza that sees the titular Bunchy the Bird collecting gems and jumping on enemies to reach his tomato nemesis. – A truly classic gaming adventure.

Our last stop this week is the brilliantly bouncy, Bounce of Galaxy! by LBPCreatorKit.

We’re back in familiar territory with some classic Sackboy platforming here… Well, as familiar as you can get with Sackboy when he’s bouncing all over a space station in a whacky adventure! – As an extra game, see if you can count how many times Sackboy bounces in the video below:

Jump over to LBP.me now and be sure to queue up all of these amazing LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks!

Community Spotlights: LBPCentral’s Community Spotlight – 105

It’s time for some keen level reviewers from within the community to highlight their own favorite levels from LittleBigPlanet 2 and this week it’s LBPCentral.com’s turn!

LBPCentral Community Spotlight: 105

The LBPCentral.com Spotlight Crew have a brilliant eye for quality, so you should check out this great hub level to see just what they think we should all be playing.

LittleBigPlanet PS Vita: Team Pick

This week’s Team Pick is Xenomooch by tsr13. Xenomooch is a pun and fun filled point-and-click adventure game set in space. It will take some time to play through it all, but thanks to some clever use of the Memoriser you can come back to it later and continue from where you left off.

Xenomooch By tsr13

“A different kind of alien adventure.”

Start Your Engines! New Karts Available Now!

Sackboy has a brand new selection of Karts available to add to his garage in LittleBigPlanet Karting.

Nothing says speed better than these vehicles from the LittleBigPlanet Emergency Services!

You may be driving a Police Car or an Ambulance but don’t expect other Sackfolk to pull over for you and let you overtake them in the middle of a race! It’s LittleBigPlanet Karting and every racer is in it for themself!

Race on over to our Game Add-Ons Catalogue to check out these rather fab new vehicles, and whilst you’re there, take a moment to peruse all of the DLC Costumes that are now available for LittleBigPlanet Karting!

From dressing up your Sackperson in the latest styles to tricking out your Kart with the new hotness, customization is one of the most rewarding parts of playing LittleBigPlanet Karting. It provides a powerful, dynamic way to express yourself while you’re venturing through the abundance of tracks, arenas, and other fantastic content that Karting has to offer.

However, the LBP universe is vast. So vast, many of our biggest Karting fans are also huge fans of our other LittleBigPlanet titles, such as LittleBigPlanet 2 and LittleBigPlanet PS Vita. So instead of limiting your wardrobe to what’s available in Karting, today we’re adding a new feature to the game that will allow you to bring your other LBP DLC costumes along for the ride – entirely for free!

Plus, if you purchase any new costumes in the future, your updated wardrobe will be automatically available across all of our LittleBigPlanet titles. So no matter which LittleBigPlanet game you’re enjoying, worrying about your costume options are now a thing of the past!

For more information on Cross-Compatibility, be sure to check out our FAQ.

As if that weren’t enough, we’re also offering four new Emergency Services Karts as well – a Police Car, a Fire Truck, an Ambulance, and even a Recue Dinghy – which are actually designed to match each of the Emergency Services uniforms!

Of course, these Karts are exclusive to LittleBigPlanet Karting, so don’t miss your chance to snag them. You won’t see them anywhere else!

Last week we released the Garfield and Odie Minipack. Since we’re such big fans of this lovable duet, we have put together this special wallpaper to celebrate the release of the new pack.

The Garfield and Odie Minipack includes the two costumes pictured in the wallpaper, along with an assortment of Garfield and Odie stickers to help fulfill your creative needs.

Don’t miss this new wallpaper, and if you fancy adding a little comic humor to your corner of LittleBigPlanet, head on over to PlayStation Store and check out the Garfield and Odie Minipack.

Groundhog Day Costume Returns

This coming Saturday is Groundhog Day! To celebrate the occasion, the Groundhog Costume will be making an appearance on PlayStation Store.

This cute costume is free and will be on the PlayStation Store for one week only. So don’t miss out on picking up this cheerful groundhog from the store before it scurries away for another year.

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks

This week in the LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks we begin with My Robot Factory, which will see Sackboy running upside-down on Attract-O-Gel and teleporting around as he jumps into Worm Holes in a robotic platforming adventure.

If running up walls and teleporting all over the place isn’t enough for you, then perhaps you’ll like Simple Pleasures. This deceptively named level will see Sackboy in a race against time as he runs through the level and performs wall-jump after wall jump to reach the ever-elusive Scoreboard at the end of the level.

Finishing up our weekly selection of LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks, we have Rollerball. This heart-pounding race level will see you taking the form of a ball, as you race against your friends, or some rather clever AI, to see who the fastest Rollerball racer is.

A Very Tasty Thank You

We end this week with a rather lovely story about a visit paid by Tony_Too to our SCE Benelux studio, so he could give the team a cake as a thank you for having his Winter Epicness level reach out to 100,000 different racers on LittleBigPlanet Karting.

I didn’t get to try the cake for myself but I’m reliably informed that it was both very well-received and delicious, so the folks in Benelux would like to say a big thank you for the gift.

If you haven’t already, be sure to hop on to LittleBigPlanet Karting and check out Winter Epicness for yourself.

Winter Epicness by Tony_Too
