I was wondering who is gonna get Mercenaries 2, Little Big Planet, or both.

Im getting Mercs 2. I loved the first one, and the 2nd looks much better. LBP looks cool, but I wanna wait a bit to see how it works out community wise and see if people think its all that great. Mercenaries 2 has a proven formula that I love, so I know I'll be getting a great game.

Which one will you get, or both?

Both.

I think Mercenaries 2 is one of the most overlooked games this year.

It's going to be a killer game.

I agree, Mercenaries 1 was overlooked and it turned out to be awesome. I hope Mercs 2 gets some attention.

I didn't like first Merc, so it would be stupid for me to get 2nd one.

Although... I didn't like MGS1 but started to like the series with 2nd.

Anyway, chances are I'd get LBP, but not Merc. 2

Both...

Of Course Both...

I didn't play the 1st Mercenaries game but this one looks insane...

I watched about 10 minutes of gameplay that was at E3 and it looked like non-stop action...

The graphics weren't that great but the gameplay was off the charts...

Little Big Planet looks really different and the graphics are pretty amazing...

I can only imagine what kind of levels myself and other people will create...

Mercenaries is a sandbox 3p shooter with destructible environments. What's not to love? I liked the first one a lot, the second will be even better.

LBP is just a monster, it could be one of the coolest and most unique games ever. If I had to pick one I would go with LBP because it's so new and fresh, but luckily we live in a world where I can buy everything I want.

That's not a good reason. Get pumped about calling in insanely explosive artillery and airstrikes as well as radio-ing in drop shipments that contain things such as a jeep and a bunch of guns. Get pumped about destructible environments being blown to smithereens by said artillery/airstrikes/etc in spectacular fashion. Get pumped about the new colorful Venezuelan environments. Mercs 2 will rock, no doubt about it.

wow I never even bothered to look at this game for some reason but thats awesome, and the fact that they showed it for the ps3 on the stage demo is probably a good sign it's not some dodgey port

mercenaries 2 looks like it has crappy graphics. the new red faction is going to put its destructible environments and graphics and overall gameplay to shame.

I've been tracking merc 2 for ages. can't wait. I'm gradually getting sold on this sack-boy adventure. the building aspects of the game sound promising and unique.

I don't know about Mercenaries 2 yet, I played the first one and it was pretty good. Personally, I'll probably wait for a couple of weeks after it comes out to read reviews and get people's impressions of the game. Little Big Planet however, I'll probably get the day it come out. LBP IMO is out of the norm and will allow tons of user created things in the game so it is easily a buy for me.

Ok I voted for LBP, but after seeing this video (it's not a game I kept up with), I must say I may have to get both. That is great and it just looks like a lot of fun to be had, plus there are many features, (online and offline co-op). Definately a game to look out for.

I loved Mercs 1, and personally all i thought it needed was better graphics and more small arms and it seems like they're delivering on both. I'm pretty psyched for it though i can't remember the last time i preordered a game. As for LBP I haven't read much about it because it doesn't seem that appealing to me at this point in time. I'm completely willing though and almost always try games once before i form a true opinion about them. No more buying games without doing my "homework".

Mercs 2 for sure, I'm still thinking about Little Big Planet.
