You know what I'd like to see created in LittleBigPlanet 2? A perfect replica of the Sistine Chapel murals using nothing but sticks, a giant fish head, and assorted buttons.

Video Blips:

• Somehow, LittleBigPlanet 2 manages to top its predecessor in creative freedom. Either that, or someone tripped over the "Imagination Inhibitor" cord again.

Continue after the break for Motorstorm: Apocalypse's first developer diary, a rundown of Forsaken World's classes and jobs, and the treacherously dangerous world of Runescape.

 

• Apart from being ripe racing grounds, Motorstorm: Apocalypse's crumbling cityscapes are described as "the party at the end of the world." When does the party end? After the DJ gets crushed by a falling building and everyone flees in abject terror.

• If Forsaken World's classes lack that faint tinge of originality, perhaps the list of eccentric jobs will capture your interest. To wit: As a Socialite, I can heartily chortle behind my monocle and tweed jacket as I observe a Mage Minerologist extracting ore in full dress.

• You can't take two steps in Runescape without bumping into a skeleton horde or a psychotic warlock. At least this is the only massively multiplayer game that will let you level up by chopping trees. [GameTrailers]
