MCV‘s reporting that a Game of the Year version of LittleBigPlanet is coming this year which will include all of the downloadble content that’s been included onto the PlayStation Store.

Hold the fucking phone, there is gonna be a 3rd map pack for Killzone 2!
While SCEE may have told us otherwise a while ago there arent any plans for a 3rd pack, SCEJ say otherwise. They have a new report up on the Killzone 2 Japanese website which reveals the “Napalm and Petrusite” map pack. It’s out near the end of the month, July 23rd for ¥800 (€5.99/£TBC).
Catch the incriminating photo after the jump, and yes, we will be asking SCEE about this again.
UPDATE: Wait, there is?
Original Story: Despite reports of an updated trophy list for the game, pointed out by Kotaku, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has told GOONL!NE that there are no current plans for a 3rd Killzone 2 map pack at this time.
A SCEE rep told us that, despite the new trophies which would look like new weapons and maps are incoming, they have “no plans to release a 3rd at this moment in time”.
We’ve only just released the 2nd map pack (Flash & Thunder), and haven’t made any announcements about, or have plans to release a 3rd, at this moment in time.
We’ve reached out to Guerrilla Games about it anyways, we’re hoping to hear back from them shortly. The game was released back in February (a 10 from us) with two subsequent map packs, the most recent being Flash & Thunder which are remakes of Killzone 1 multiplayer maps.

This could be the reason why the XBLA version of Battlefield 1943 has been kicking the bucket since it’s release on Wednesday. According to Gamerbytes, they claim that over 80,000 people has gone on the game since it’s release.
No such figures for the PS3 yet, mind you its only been out for less then 24 hours.

BioWare have released a second developer diary for Mass Effect 2, which tells you alot more of the game’s story, its refiend gameplay and thensome.
Project Director Casey Hudson, as well as other BioWare staff on ME2, talk about some of the newest refinements in the gameplay, one of which being an interupt system in which Shepard can decide, as Hudson puts it, “enough is enough” and take instant action. while in the middle of a conversation.
And speaking of Shepard, he will be playable in the game. But beware, Hudson hinted near the end of the video that if you kill off Shepard in Mass Effect 2, he stays dead. “Permanently” as he put it. They also tell you how the Normandy get fucked upon in the E3 trailer.
Check it out after the jump. Game’s out early next year for the Xbox 360.
Looks like a mini media blowout is happening today on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. Some new screens have emerged of the game from GameWatch (via VG247), while GameTrailers TV visits Naughty Dog this week to see the game which features a brand new level never before seen as well as a 2 minute long cutscene.
Click the GW link for the screens, but catch the cinematic cutscene from GTTV after the jump. We thought the game was out this October this week, we were even told it was (or at least we thought we were), but it will be out this Autumn for the PS3.
Pissing us off for the umpteenth time by doing so, Activision decided to bring back the Call of Duty name into Modern Warfare 2. So now, instead of Modern Warfare 2, it is now once again Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. But why did they re-name it (again)?
According to an Acti rep, speaking to Kotaku, it was to signify the game as the first true sequel for the series.
“Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 is the direct sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,” a spokesperson told Kotaku. “We have focused our attention on Modern Warfare in order to most effectively communicate the fact that this is the first true sequel in the Call of Duty series. Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has said from the beginning Modern Warfare 2 resides in the Call of Duty universe. This is reflected in the title’s package.”
We’ve reached out to Acti UK for a word or two. Game’s out on Novemer 10th worldwide for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
FOR! FUCK! SAKE! MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND, INFINITY WARD!*ahem*
It seems that Infinity Ward are now, once and for all, bringing back the Call of Duty title into Modern Warfare 2 after FourZeroTwo, aka IW’s Rob Bowilng, tweeted the picture of the cover art for the game which shows, yip, the Call of Duty logo above Modern Warfare 2, below as well.
Just recieved the first Modern Warfare 2 boxes straight off the press. “Shit just got real.” #MW2
Picture is after the jump. Game’s out November 10th for PS3 and 360. Honest to god, we dont even wanna say what we will do if Infinity Ward changes the name again.
