The best advice I can give to aspiring game designers is to get really good at making mini-games and levels in LittleBigPlanet 2...and to do a lot of coding.

Video Blips:

• The "Controlinator" makes piloting vehicles, caterpillars, rabbits, and more in LittleBigPlanet 2 a breeze. I know some of you think that you'd like that technology for your car, but I'm telling you right now: It's a terrible idea.

• Some of the characters in Epic Mickey are so obscure that Mickey Mouse himself has trouble remembering who they are. What's your favorite method for getting out of those kinds of awkward, face-to-face situations?

• In order to properly play Shift Extended, you have to think outside of the box. So much, in fact, that moving in and out of boxes is actually the central gameplay mechanic.

• Spelunker HD is making it's way to the PlayStation Network, complete with a retro mode and 6-player co-op. Once Sony finalizes the details of the Chilean miners' endorsement, they'll launch.
