Game kinda looks neat!
Different...

How...
Officially labeled as a "community-based" game, LittleBigPlanet is essentially a physics-based platformer, though such a description fails miserably at capturing the sheer amount of scrambling, swinging and holding-on-for-dear-life going on in the gameplay footage. Developed by Ragdoll Kung-Fu masters, Media Molecule...
SWEET! RK-F! WTG guys you cashed in on your brilliance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_Doll_Kung_Fu)! ;D
Looks like hella fun (http://www.joystiq.com/gallery/littlebigplanet/176259/)... 8)
