Big Planet

LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year Edition
$59.99
We got a PS3 at the price drop, lots of us did! It was easy to find blu-rays for me and the wife, I got a nice role playing game for myself, and out boys were easy to shop for as well. Lots of first person shooters to choose from of course. But what to do about out 7 year old daughter? There is a dirth of family or female oriented games for the PS3. Enter LittleBigPlanet.

Not that it is a girl's game, it is a people's game. Our daughter does indeed love it, she dresses up her sackgirl and enjoys new levels for the fun and fashion choices. Sometimes, she just tries out and displays different looks. Not my cup of tea, but then that is the point. It is really the only PS3 game she regularly plays.

The rest of us enjoy it too. I usually game a bit after the kids have gone to sleep, and I play LBP much more than I ever imagined. My wife, who rarely plays video games, will play this one. The game is utterly charming. It is a good game without the wonderful, whimsical world, but the world, the animations, the music even, create a game experience that is wholesome, warm, and inviting.

This is a different experience in gaming. I suggest you get the game of the year edition so you start out with more levels and more costumes. Your children, or even your inner child, will thank you.

Big Ideas for a Small Planet: Season 1 (2pc)
$39.93
The program shows how it is possible to geenovate with enough time to each subject that you can think about it. However it is in sound bite form and bounces back and forth in place of a consistent narration. The content is more like preaching than a how-to presentation. The program is worth watching to see what is going on. However you are left out of any opportunity to interact. There is no reference to any companies you can contact. Or how to apply the things learned to your private life. I hope they keep it up and maybe in the future the can talk more technical or how one can apply the information.

Planet Bike Big Buddy Bicycle Seat Pack
$21.99
Despite being called the "BIG buddy" i was expecting there to be significantly more space. Right now, its pretty much at capacity with an alien tool, a leatherman and a tire patch kit. I was hoping to get a spare tube and maybe a powerbar in there as well, but its far too small for that. If i sacrificed the leatherman and went with a smaller patch kit I might be able to fit a few powerbars in there, but any sort of multi-tool pretty much rules out holding a spare tube.

If i were purchasing a new seat pack, I would definitely opt for a larger one.
