Easily one of the most anticipated releases as part of Sony's renewed interest in the PSP is the handheld version of LittleBigPlanet.

As many gamers have suspected, this cross-platform game has been confirmed to include a bit of chitchat between Sony's living room and portable consoles. You'll apparently be able to unlock a host of bonus content through a feature Sony is calling Cross-Talk, which suggests each system will provide goodies for the other (not just the PSP unlocking PS3 content, for instance).

Sony hasn't said what this Cross-Talk content will actually be, but given the highly customisable nature of LittleBigPlanet, we can presumably expect lots of costumes and the possibility of sharing your creations between the two systems.

On top of this, Sony has confirmed it'll soon be releasing a PSP demo of LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation Network, and although no official date has been set it'll likely be used as part of the PSPgo's launch campaign around October.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
