Johnny Depp on Little Big Planet

Have you ever played Little Big Planet? It's Fab for creating stuff and for the gameplay. In fact its SO creative that for a while when I played it, I gave up making actual stuff from fabric because the game could make it so much quicker and amazingly well that there seemed no point me bothering in real life...but eventually I got over it and went back to hours of creative twaddle.

Well you get to decorate the 'Pod' your character lives in (mainly tartan, buttons and metal charms in my case) and combine a series of elements for your character to wear as he/she cruises through the game.

And here's mine looking stylishly like Johnny Depp. Other characters in the family include a zebra in a dress, a spanish dancer in wellies and a spotty fella with a rubber ring round his waist and carrying a frying pan!

If you're tempted to get the game, be prepared to spend hours playing and making, cos if you leave it and try to come back weeks later you can't remember how to use all the creative techniques BUT the first game in the series is MUCH more creative than the second. The initial game felt like it was made for grown ups who hadn't grown up (me), the second for children...so sad.
