The Japanese news site is not reporting, as some outlets have claimed, that Lumines is being released as a game within LittleBigPlanet. No indication of the skin being downloadable content, so we’re going to guess it’s already included in the game. Lumines Supernova is expected for release this “winter,” meaning sometime before the end of [...]

IGN (95/100): “Resistance 2 is one of those games that manages to expand on its predecessor in every way. The single player is epic in scope and in story, which is practically worth the price of admission by itself.”
