Commuting can be rough. The monotony of the same trip to work everyday can lead to depression and at its worse needless rage. Looking around any subway car I can see almost everyone's eyes glued to their damned iPhones playing "games". Some of us know the truth, while their are a few exceptions, real games are played on game systems. Lately, I've be chugging through one such game on my PSP. Making progress in 30 minute intervals during my commute. It is safe to say the little dragon named Spyro is helping with my sanity.

last weeks links volume 3

It's my busy time of year at the ol' day job. Which is only barely offset by playing my heart out in Little Big Planet 2 on the PS3 and Spyro (PS1) during my commute on the PSP. I want to be farther along in both games before I write a review. In lieu of this week's review I have another volume of great linkage for you.

little big planet 2: guinness world records event

PLATFORM: Sony Style Store

RELEASE DATE: 01/2011
LOCATION: New York City
MY STATUS: Early

In a sad case of my reporting losing out to lack of patience, I give you a Gamedae On Location report of the setting up of Little Big Planet 2's launch event at the Sony Style store in NYC. Imagine if you will, you have a three day weekend, it is 20° outside with dirty snow on the ground. The Playstation Blog is reporting a live streaming event of Media Molecule guys breaking Guinness World Records. Do you stay in bed all day or get up there and snap some pics? I get up there in the cold (albeit far too early) and snap some pics for you the few, the loyal, the Gamedae readers! Pics after the jump.

Welcome to the junior version of Marvel Ulitmate Alliance (MUA): Marvel Super Hero Squad (MSHS). I fell in love with these inexpensive, smurf size plastic toys when they first hit the shelves and collected a few of my beloved X-Men. Soon after an animated TV show depicting these bite-sized versions of the heroes hit networks, a video game was launched soon after. Aimed at younger viewers, these family friendly heroes are ready to put up their dukes in the name of the Avengers (err... I mean squad).

ESRB RATING: T

Progress: Lots of Pins

Blown Away. That is the only way to describe playing the new Little Big Planet 2 Beta. There is so much new potential already being unlocked by the thriving community of players and level creators. In case you've been sleeping on this massive game the quick dish is you can create your own levels. That's a full story game plus the seemingly unlimited, user-created levels. Lets face it, your first purchase of 2011 is coming out on January 18th. 

Gamedae is officially holding off on a letter grade for now since the game is still in its Beta form (not the final release). But you can bet your Game Informer subscription this is going to be a A.

Hit the jump to see some community levels your sure to "heart" when the full game comes out:
