No globally-recognized holiday can escape attention from Media Molecule's DIY platformer, LittleBigPlanet, don't ya know? This week, the PS3 version of the game will receive a free St. Patrick's Day-themed costume, which turns your adorable sack-vatar into a reddish-orange-bearded leprechaun. That's really exciting news if you're a fan of Lucky Charms -- but really terrifying news if you're familiar with Warwick Davis' acclaimed psychological thriller series.
We hate to derail this post's train of thought, but we've been absorbed by the rich mythos of Leprechaun after reading that Wikipedia entry. Did you guys know there have been six installments in the Leprechaun franchise? It's true: Leprechaun, Leprechaun 2, Leprechaun 3, Leprechaun 4: In Space, Leprechaun: In the Hood and Leprechaun: Back to tha Hood. This is not a joke. Those are all real movies, which real people really made.

Same DLC we got last year.
I thought they had a lot of "exciting" content planned for 2010?

We definitely got this last year. They have recycled every single holiday costume, and even rereleased the space suit. Pretty lame.

What's wrong with recycling costumes is that the people who had the game from the beginning aren't getting any new content. How hard is it to create a new costume so that everyone can get something new? Not a way to keep fans loyal.

I think instead of making them limited times, just make them permas, but limited time free. Then next year release a new one.

Anything Media Molecule wants to give me, I'll take it! I'm all about new levels, but some free costumes occasionally are always welcome.
It's the game that keeps on giving year 'round!

Good thing they're doing it again. I just checked Joystiq's PSN Thursday posts from March last year and it never showed that there was a new costume for St. Patty's Day. I totally missed this one.
