Little Big Planet for the Playstation 3 was huge at one point, the marketing was huge, the extended wait on a 'clean' release of the game was huge, and the game itself was one of the most creative games I think I have ever played (or I should say, 'created').

With the ability to create my own playable levels for others to play online, and the ability to tag team with other sack boys to run through user created level, after level, was what kept this game so thrilling, so rewarding, and so above and beyond unique. A game that never grew old, and a game that had something new every single time you would log into online play.

It was no wonder Little Big Planet was rewarded the game of the year. But it seems like the creators let that title get to their heads, because they are really trying to outshine themselves by creating another Little Big Planet, only with a stamped 'Game of the Year' in bold red print on the cover of the games box.

Now any fan of the game may quickly scan over this box work and think that they just added the new print on to the boxes to let players who have yet to buy the game, know that the game is worth buying seeing that it is, after all, the game of the year. Upon closer inspection though, its becomes clear that the new added print Game of the Year actually represents new elements of the original game.

You see the Game of the Year edition comes packed with a few extras that the original game did not come with. However the game in itself as a whole is exactly the same.

So you are probably wondering, is the Little Big Planet: Game of the Year edition worth shelling out yet another $59.99? Owners of the first title are on the fence.

Some want the new additions and welcome it, while others are downright disgusted by the entire concept. The content that will be included in the Game of the Year Edition should be a free download for those who already shelled out $59.99 in 2008 for the game. Honestly, this is how they should go about things, but as we know, nothing in life is as fair as it should be, now is it?
