Electronic Arts has announced Create, a puzzle-solving game that many have incorrectly labelled a “LittleBigPlanet clone”. Rather, it’s more in line with Sierra’s old The Incredible Machine titles in which you solve Rube Goldberg-like contraptions and create your own levels.

According to the press release:

The more players explore the game, solve level-based challenges, and customize their world, the more rewards will be unlocked. Creativity will be unleashed as players design environments with easy-to-use brushes and tools, including textures, props and animating objects that bring the scene to life.

Create will be released for the PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360 in November 2010, and will utilize both the Wii remote and PlayStation Move.

Polar Panic is a new downloadable title for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation 3, and Facebook, a puzzle game that mixes Pengo with Bomberman with a heavy dose of environmental preaching. The object of the game is to escape a maze of snow and ice bricks while avoid hunters under the employ of an over-the-top evil corporation Globoco.

Polar, our hero bear, has to navigate these snowy mazes while avoiding hunters. Snow blocks can only be destroyed, while ice blocks can be slid across the level; otherwise, if they can’t move, they too are destroyed. These ice blocks are one of the very few offensive weapons Polar can employ, sliding them to crush hunters. The more hunters with one block, the higher the score. As the single player campaign progresses, new features are introduced, like tents that produce more hunters and must be destroyed, snowmen and family members who add bonus points to level completion, and new enemies such as rocket-toting hunters. Adding to the complication is the level timer.

There are two more game modes. One is a puzzle mode in which you have to complete levels with as few moves as possible, and an endless mode in which Polar is beset by a constant stream of enemies in an attempt to get the highest point total possible.
