So Little Big Planet is being delayed. One of the most highly anticipated titles of the holiday season and one of the most uniquely designed games in quite some time, being held back. Game-breaking bugs? Balance changes? Nope. Get a load of this:

“However, fans of the game are going to have to wait slightly longer to get it. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that it is recalling the game from retailers after it learned that the soundtrack featured some Arabic-language lines from the Qur’an backed with music. A SCEE representative also confirmed to GameSpot that this recall would be global, and could not confirm when the game would now actually hit shelves with the offending music removed.

The confirmation follows rumours that that Singing Safari level of the game features a song with two expressions found in Islam’s central holy text, the Qur’an. Cached pages on the official PlayStation forum claim that the two phrases are (literally translated from the original Arabic): “Every soul shall have the taste of death” and “All that is on earth will perish.”"

This is so random and weird and nonsensical that I really have no idea at all how it happened. Truth really is stranger than fiction. So, when is Little Big Planet’s Release Date?

Description: Well, it’s October… Here’s a little something to get the month started You play as Death himself out on another day on the job.

I’ll be the first to tell you it’s short, but it was just something fun for October and, to me, fit well with the holiday, although a little early A couple of notes: * Some things require the right timing, so going click-crazy won’t always help you. * Different items become available through actions (I think you’ll see what I mean). *** If you find it too easy, I apologize and may add more too it in time, if it’s too hard, right click and choose “download walkthrough, this will open the walkthrough in your browser.
