Sackboy Is The Law!

2000AD LittleBigPlanet

The guys at Media Molecule have been flooding PSN with new LittleBigPlanet content as of late (such as these Monsters, Norse Mythology and Rag Doll Kung Fu costume packs), but anyone who doesn’t want some time in the cubes needs to know that nothing beats the law. The law sometimes goes by another name, and that name is Judge Dredd.

Yes, Media Molecule have conquered the seemingly impossible task of making Judge Dredd and some of his 2000AD compatriots cute in the form of loveable Sackboys. Joining Judge Dredd’s trademark frown are Judge Anderson, Johnny Alpha, Hammerstein and Rogue Trooper. The pack also features a set of stickers, which in total sets you back £4.79 (although each character can be bought individually at £1.59 each, but Judge Dredd and Judge Anderson are counted together) and should be available on the UK PSN Store right now.

Since I don’t own a PS3 I can only sadly admire this from afar, but at least I can be content in the knowledge that the worlds of 2000AD are being highlighted to the masses. Sure, most people know who Judge Dredd is (unfortunately most people outside of the UK will know the character based off Stallone’s awful interpretation of him) but other characters such as Johnny Alpha aren’t as widely known.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Trailer Looks Awesome!

This trailer for the upcoming film tie-in X-men Origins: Wolverine shows a taster of the gamplay you can expect from the game. The result is pretty flashly, complete with Wolverine leaping at a helicopter in that badass kind of way that only Wolverine could pull off. It’s hinted in the trailer, but the game will also include a large amount of blood and gore so don’t expect your usual X-Men game.

It’s a game based off a film, so you wouldn’t be wrong to automatically be suspicious of how good the game will actually turn out. I say we give this one a chance though, as they can’t all turn out to be awful can they (the upcoming Ghostbusters game looks pretty great too).

Of course, this isn’t the first X-Men game to appear on consoles, but it may turn out to be the most decent one. Let’s hope that also extends to the film that it’s based on.

The game will be out for the PS2, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC and Wii on 1 May.
