2nd Christmas money game

Little Big Planet, another top shelf game, is a puzzle platformer with an adorable entity named sackboy [or sack girl if you prefer]. You guide sack boy through the different levels unlocking more levels as well as costumes and decorations. You can play in two player mode which makes collaboration necessary to obtain certain unlockables.

The levels that you navigate include puzzles, dangers, and races.  The basics are similar to other platformers but the creativity factor as well as the online community/multiplayer are what takes LBP to the next [pun warning] level.  The "main menu" is accessed through the sack boy pod. This is where you decide what level to play or if you want to play online/community levels.  I actually ended up in some else's pod.  Of course I couldn't access their menu structure and I think I kinda pissed that person off...they emphatically asked me to leave!!!!  lol....so I left.

LBP is available on the PS3 only.  LBP has won tons of awards like the Edge's Best Game, Eurogamer's Best Game, Gamepro's Game of the Year and Spike's Best PS3 Game.

Rate E for Everyone

1st Christmas money game

Fallout III, the post nuclear RPG based in and around Washington, D.C. in an alternate reality where the United States has been bombed by the Chinese. Fallout III takes place 2277 which is 200 years after the bombing.

The player takes the persona of a teenager who was rasied in Vault 101 and is suddenly left alone by his father.  The player then must exit the Vault and experience the Capital Wasteland.  In the Wasteland you will discover settlements where humans have tried to piece together an existance. Usually a very meager existance.  Upon meeting various people you have the opportunity to help them out by completeing a quest.  One such quest is to find your father.  

As you travel through the Wasteland or even Washington, D.C. you will encounter Super Mutants, ghouls, a variety of animals, raiders, slavers and soldiers from an organization called the Enclave.  They are all going to try to kill you.

Although I enjoy the game [which has received lots of accolades] I would hope that 200 years after a nuclear attack we would have created a better society than Fallout III has placed us in.

Rated M for mature.
