News Whoa, LittleBigPlanet 3 Features a Seriously Star-Studded Voice Cast
Fry and Laurie reunited
The LittleBigPlanet franchise was already leading the pack when it came to narration, thanks to Stephen Fry's dulcet voiceovers. However, there's always room for improvement, and in the franchise's newest entry that improvement comes in the form of a fully voice-acted adventure. What's more, the recently revealed cast members...
