The weekly BRITNEY SPEARS round-up of CREDIT CRUNCH gaming OASIS news.

So the last time I did a round-up I mentioned LittleBigPlanet and Dead Space. Both are games that I've been following for quite some time and both are games I had hoped (with all my heard) would deliver. And it seems like i was right.

IGN posted a nice 6 page review of LittleBigPlanet and also in the form of a video review. They award it a 9.5, which is a very, very good score indeed! And judging on other reviews (OPM have given the game 10 out of 10) the LBP sounds like the exclusive PS3 owners have been waiting for!

I seriously can't wait to get my hands on this game now, and the release date is only a couple of weeks away!!

The other game i mentioned was Sci-Fi Survival Horror game Dead Space. This game also gets a good write-up, with IGN's review here. And the video review here. I admit I didn't have as much faith with this one, I could just see it becoming another Haze. But I am happy admit I was wrong. I really hope they put a demo up on the PSN, just because I want to play it so badly. I haven't played a sci-fi game in a long time and am glad that someone has tried a new twist on the genre. The twist being the awesome decapitations you can do to kill or be killed! It looks bloody as hell, which (being a Tarantino fan) is always a good thing for me!)

I am also impressed with the new soundtrack for Motorstorm Pacific Drift:

I really loved the music on the last game, thought that the inclusion of 'Woman' by Wolfmother was a stroke of genius!

Currently though my PS3 is out of action. My hard drive has gone and my new one still hasn't arrived yet. I'm hoping I can find a way to save my precious GTAIV and MGS4 game data though, spent the last 6 months of my life on those darn games!!
