Hey LBPCentral, remember that competition where people could win around $50,000 for creating an educational project in LBP? Well, help us vote for what you think is the best LBP educational project! The public voting for the Game Changers People's Choice Awards 2010 has opened and it would be great if we could help get your votes for the following project winners. This whole competition, sponsored by Sony, the HASTAC Foundation, and the University of California, was held to help foster education through gaming. (http://www.dmlcompetition.net/game_changers.php) These levels are going be coupled with 1000 PS3s donated by Sony to libraries in low income communities, on top of being available to the rest of the PSN community. The following six projects were chosen as award winners a few days ago and now your vote can determine which one is the best overall by the people! =P __________________________________________________ _____ Aeon Quest: Abduction (vote for this submission) (http://www.dmlcompetition.net/pligg/story.php?title=921) Best in Class: Multiplayer (LittleBigPlanet? only) Scott Comstock, Woodland Hills, CA (cdubb024) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKOmJ9vhRO8 http://www.daviddino.com/dmlwinners06a.jpg In Aeon Quest, LittleBigPlanet players are enlisted by a mechanical being from outer space to help save the planet Earth.
