Here at PlayStation, we’re extremely excited to announce Simone Di Giorgi as the winner of our LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita internship placement with his fantastic mini-game creation, Flint – congratulations!

We assembled a select team of portable gaming enthusiasts from across Europe to test and review each of the mini-games that were entered in order to pick the best of the best and what a hard job you gave them! We’d like to say a huge thank you to the many of you that submitted such brilliant entries and really made it a tough process for our devoted European judging panel.

As part of this coveted placement with Sony, Simone from Italy will be flown out to Sweden to join top design studio Tarsier (the designers behind the game itself) to learn the ins and outs of game development and see his mini-game transformed into an amazing piece of published content for the whole LBP community to enjoy!

Spring is almost upon us and it’s time for Sackboys and Sackgirls across LittleBigPlanet to work together to bring their new creations to life with a true Spring-time feeling to them.

To help bring these creations to life, we’re re-releasing the FREE Spring Creator Kit for LittleBigPlanet 2 for one week only. This Creator Kit is filled to brim with all-sorts of Spring goodness, so be sure to skip over to the Store later this week and pick up this exclusive pack!

LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks
Our LittleBigPlanet 2: Mm Picks this week feature a great selection of skill-based games that will really put your jumping abilities to the test! We said earlier that Spring is on the way and what better level to put a Spring in to your step than JumpIT! JumpIT is a great challenge level that sees you taking control of a perpetually running stickman sprinting across an urban landscape, to keep him running… All you have to do is jump!
