Now, as for the level packs?

Was the Hegdehog Engine nominated for the "BEST ENGINE" one?

Too bad they never win awards for sales, OH SNAP!
I kid, I like LBP, it deserved to sell a lot more than it did.
MAster MIndead @ Jul 16th 2009 3:04AM
Even though they are represented with allot of awards I feel the game is somewhat still under rated by gamers. Remember the BETA process, that was CRAZY ! I (heart) LBP !
the Sawyer family @ Jul 16th 2009 12:36AM
LBP!!!!! YAY!!

maybe we'll get some free stuff now?..........yea thought so
MAster MIndead @ Jul 16th 2009 3:11AM
They do give stuff out for free. Maybe not lately, but they deserve/need to get some funds going for LBP2. I bough the MGS pack, best DLC add on as of yet! Also lots of people complain about the no level DLC. I ask though, " what other game lets you create a level and then share it with the world ? " 1 maybe 3, but enough of that "community levels aren't par with MM's", there's plenty of badass (home made?) ones out there. Trust me, some clever/creative people.
prodigy69 @ Jul 16th 2009 5:11AM
"they deserve/need to get some funds going for LBP2"
that's utter bulls**t...I'm sure they have more than enough money in the bank by now on sales of the game alone, not to mention the penny pinching from dlc.
and yes I've virtually bought everything on the store.
in my opinion they need to start taking a leaf out of criterion's book as a thank you to everyone.
the community has done more than enough to warrant more free things, and I'm not talking about some stupid costumes.
MAster MIndead @ Jul 18th 2009 1:16AM
No.
youhavemail @ Jul 16th 2009 3:27AM
Plz stop making us pay for things like 'the metal gear solid pack' in order to play most user created levels.
samgt @ Jul 16th 2009 6:19AM
Awards well deserved!
samik @ Jul 16th 2009 7:13AM
What do you think about Modnationracers, am almost as excited by that as LBP
duncanmummery @ Jul 16th 2009 9:51AM
Why is forrest whittaker getting an award?
Jon D @ Jul 16th 2009 10:13AM
amazing how no matter how many awards and rave reviews that game receives, no one's buying it. that was one of the biggest letdowns last year if you asked me. they definitely deserved higher sales numbers than that.
mil6es @ Jul 16th 2009 10:27AM
Come back to us Phil, we miss your shiny head at Sony :'( .........no really come back
