Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Nurburgring Nordschleife

Don't pay attention to the poor driving, but this is the first footage of the Nurburgring North Loop in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. We would probably do as bad seeing how tight the track is.

It is uncertain whether this will be available as a downloadable since Polyphony stated they did not want to have many add-ons to GT5P. We shall wait and see.

PixelJunk Eden Explained

So what is this new game from the folks at PixelJunk and Q Games? It's named Eden and we couldn't figure out what it's about until now. Here's a brief synopsis of the game play.
  • The main goal of each stage is to collect "spectra" from each garden to bring back to your home garden.
  • You control a "grimp," grip and jump combined. Why not a grin? Grip and spin.
  • The grimp has a tether called silk, which allows you to spin from a grip point. It can also be extended and retracted. It also blinks towards the direction of the spectra.
  • Collect pollen and "seed" to create new plants so that you have new plants to grip.

Alex Evans, co-founder of Media Molecule, was interviewed at Gamers' Day 2008 about their upcoming fall 2008 release,
LittleBigPlanet. He demonstrated how easy it is to make your own levels, customize in-game and user created levels, create your unique sock puppet character, win game elemets, and have your personal world ranking on the PlayStation Network.

Alex showed PlayStation Eye integration, which will most likely include YouTube upload integration. He briefly mentioned the Trophy System also.

It looks like it will be an easy task for anyone to re-create Super Marion Brothers with LittleBigPlanet, the question is who will be first to do it in the fall.
