With last year’s E3 conferences all about the new consoles, this year the games were the centrepiece. Sony were keen on showing us quite a lot of them. If E3 was a fight – and it sort of is, let’s face it – Sony once again stepped it up. Microsoft’s Xbox conference was an improvement …
Whereas Nintendo’s recently announced 2DS has seen the system undergo a radical redesign, Sony’s newly unveiled thinner PlayStation Vita retains all the curves of the original.

We almost didn’t notice, but it turns out the PS Vita is one year old this weekend. Being the modest little handheld that it is, we thought we’d bake it a cake and surprise it with the birthday bumps! When the PS Vita was first announced in January 2011 we were reasonably impressed with it, …
According to online retailers the next release due out at retail is Sega’s Anarchy Reigns on 11th January.

I don’t think we’ll ever understand publishers. Capcom’s ‘interactive anime’ Asura’s Wrath was pushed back from last month to this month, but what a day to choose to finally release it. Not only is it going up Mass Effect 3 but also Capcom’s own Street Fighter X Tekken. There’s Twisted Metal on PlayStation 3 and …
Uncharted: Golden Abyss has proven to be the most popular PS Vita launch title. No surprise there, but what is surprising is that together with FIFA Football – the second most popular title – the two took 50 percent of software sales.

We’ve had our say on the PS Vita’s line-up, but to quickly recap Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, Lumines, Everybody’s Golf and FIFA Football are the ones that should be on top of your shopping list.

The PSP’s release schedule hasn’t been a picture of health for a long time, but with the PS Vita hitting Europe this week and Sony now focusing all their attention on their shiny new system the release lists look bleaker than ever. There are a few RPGs lined up for American gamers, and we may …
It’s no wonder that the PSP’s release list has been slimmer than a Peperami over the past year – Sony have been working their socks off to provide the PS Vita with no less than ten titles. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and WipEout 2048 are the two main system sellers but there are some other titles …
