ORIGINAL POST: First things first, apologies for the delay in announcing last week’s winners. Better late than never, here they are: DsonicX, silmorat1, hfred123 and AeonsDead. Congratulations – we’ll be in touch via a PM to your ID on the official forums to arrange delivery of your prizes.

Now, on to this week’s topic. I spent three excruciating hours sat on a broken-down train earlier this week *cue violins* and the only thing that kept me from losing my mind was Soul Sacrifice – legendary designer Keiji Inafune’s hugely enjoyable beast-battling epic for PS Vita. Duly, that’s where today’s debate finds inspiration.

Answer me this: What would you sacrifice for your hobby, and where would you draw the line?

LittleBigPlanet Team Picks
We have a brand new set of Team Picks across the whole of LittleBigPlanet this week that include such gems as a great but small platforming adventure for Sackboy, an awesomely absurd sheep-counting game, a portable pinball machine and a brilliant set of community-developed tools that will allow you to make your own very own 3D platforming games in LittleBigPlanet Karting!

First things first, apologies for the distinct lack of any debating last weekend. Alas, circumstances conspired and it wasn’t possible to get a prize together in time. However, normal service resumes today.

This week’s topic is inspired by the brilliantly bizarre Men’s Room Mayhem, announced for PS Vita earlier this week. In case you missed it, it’s a quick-fire action title that tasks you with managing traffic and enforcing etiquette in a gentleman’s washroom.

Duly, I want to hear your ideas for other games based on the humdrum minutiae of everyday life. A side-scrolling brawler set against the backdrop of your morning commute to work? A match-three puzzle game based on re-arranging your CD collection in alphabetical and/or chronological order? Fire away.

The authors of the four most entertaining responses win themselves the rather incongruous pairing of Twisted Metal for PS3 (signed by co-creator David Jaffe himself) and Little Deviants on PS Vita. Good luck!

Hey there! It’s Candice taking control of the VidZone airwaves (or videowaves?) this week. And boy have I got some great new videos to talk about! One of my personal favourites, Thirty Seconds To Mars, have returned with an epic new single which, with the help of NASA (yes the NASA), was launched into space…

Nicki Minaj is swanning around in a bikini alongside Lil Wayne, David Guetta holds a Rodeo dance-off and there are long-legged ladies parading around Robin Thicke in his latest hit. Oh and we’ve got some plump Korean guy whom you may know telling us he’s a mother-father-gentleman (whatever that is). AND we’re going bonkers because the world’s coolest French robots are back!! Aaaaaand breathe. Phew.

Confused? Excited?! Read on for more info on this UH-MAZING update…
