One quick final recap to say that, away from the constant iPhoning, one of my two other holiday concessions was a few hours making my way through Media Molecule’s ‘Metal Gear Solid Premium Level Pack,’ which, put plainly, is an essential download for the game.

As much a clearly loving tribute as a collaboration, the levels inside are some of the most inspired the game has seen to date — both officially and from the community (although that’s somewhat an unfair comparison with the community’s IP restrictions).

Between the spot on extension of the Paintinator gun (turning the platformer into a surprisingly adept bullet-hell dual-analog shooter), the secret meta-lightgun-game behind the pack’s first intro level (you’ll know it when you discover it), and its final showdown: if this is what we can expect from the future of the LittleBigPlatform, we’re in very good hands.
