The BBC have told MCV that they are “open to conversations with anybody in games” in a bid to capitalise ever growing gaming market, with major platforms such as the Wii being targeted to newer ones such as Facebook and the iPhone.
Neil Ross Russell stated that “Outside of Disney we have the most well-known line-up of children’s characters around the world.” However, Ross Russell maintains it’s not all about money, “What we’re trying to do is build the brands here – this is not about opportunistic licensing.

Modern Warfare 2 is fun. No point trying to deny it; the joy of ‘pwning’ some ‘noobs’ across the ether is brilliantly addictive. But, you’ve got to take the good with the bad.

With not long now until the launch of Mass Effect 2, BioWare have already begun stoking the flames of the third game in the series by confirming it will be developed for the Xbox 360.
When asked about if the third Mass Effect game would be on the 360, BioWare’s Casey Hudson told GameZone:

Mass Effect 2 launches January 26th in the USA and January 29th in Europe.

As much as we hate to say it; LittleBigPlanet is getting on a bit. After picking up many awards in ’08, it just isn’t fit for purpose in the new decade, and after all, no-one plays it…right?
Wrong. So, so wrong. See, over on the EU Playstation Forums, a group of LBP fans have banded together to see who can build the best bridge-crossing machine. While most people could hardly work out how to place a switch in the Design Mode, these guys and gals have made some truly stunning contraptions, all in working order and looking pretty funky. It’s pretty hard to get more epic.
