E3 – The Walking Dead: 400 Days, 5 Stories, 1 New Trailer

The Walking Dead: 400 Days was officially announced at yesterday’s Sony press conference, but we weren’t given much in the way of details aside from an impending Vita release. Today those details are coming in full force, along with a new trailer and some screenshots. 400 Days will tell the story of five previously unconnected individuals as they cope with and survive the world in the first 400 days following the zombie apocalypse. The five stories are playable in any order and [...]

E3 – The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC announced and Vita bound

The first actual announcement of the Sony E3 conference is a good one. Sony knows that Vita owners crave a better game market and this generation Sony is going to deliver, starting with Telltale’s The Walking Dead. The episodic adventure game was announced for Vita back in May but details were sketchy. In today’s press conference, Sony teased us with a bit more information including the official announcement of the The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC. In an interview with IGN back in [...]

Limbo headed to the PS Vita

Any news of a game being released on the PS Vita is good news. This latest announcement comes packed with giant terrifying spiders, deadly traps, and frequent images of a little boy being mutilated over and over again. Developer Playdead announced today that the puzzle-platformer Limbo is hitting the handheld market via the PS Vita. Combining efforts with Double Eleven, Playdead is confident the Vita release will hold an uncompromised experience. Limbo was originally released to the Xbox Live Arcade [...]

Black Rock Shooter: The Game LTTP Review – Trent Reznor Senpai!

I’m an anime fan but even I’m not fully versed in the Vocaloid lore that spawned off into the action spin-off, Black-Rock Shooter. Chances are if you’re looking up this game, then you are a member of that same niche market and which case you’ll know already if you plan on purchasing the game. Still, for the rest of you I’ll be more than happy to explain the unique action styling of Black Rock Shooter: The Game.

Thomas Was Alone LTTP Review – I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends

Without reaching beyond the surface, Thomas Was Alone is simply a minimalistic puzzle platformer. Originally released in July 2011 on the PC and Mac, Mike Bithell along with Bossa Studios have brought this indie hit to the PS3 and the PS Vita, featuring the “Cross-Buy” feature. In Thomas Was Alone, as with any platformer, the mantra is ‘up and to the right’. It’s such a simple concept, but with the help of a multitude of polygonal friends, and narrator Danny Wallace, this [...]

Sin Has Been Defeated, Let’s Twerk!! – Final Fantasy X-2 HD Screenshots Look Amazing

One thing about going back and replaying classic games from a decade or so ago is that the graphics are rarely as good as you remember them. What’s nice about HD remastered versions of these games however is that you can revisit the memories of playing PS2 games from back in the day (you know, back when you were in your late 20s), without having to deal with blurry textures, spotty frame rates, and muted colors. In the case of [...]

GTA 1 & 2 Coming to Sony Hardware

In possible celebration of the next big thing in gaming, it looks like two of the original releases in the mega super triple-A blockbuster are coming to PSN and the Vita. Grand Theft Auto and GTA 2 have been noted on the ESRB’s official site and with it comes another inevitable slew of mayhem and massacre revitalized for the next generation of unlucky children who never got to experience the classic’s history from the beginning. The original Grand Theft Autos were nothing like they [...]

Soul Sacrifice Review – A Beautiful, Dark, Twisted, Fairy Tale

It’s hard to disassociate Keiji Inafune as a game creator known for anything other than his many works at Capcom such as Mega Man and Dead Rising. Especially not after their public separation and Capcom’s handling of the very same game titles which Inafune’s name is basically synonymous with. So when it was announced that Inafune was developing a Monster Hunter-esque game for the PS Vita, people became interested. However, given my personal dissuasion towards the monster hunting genre as [...]

Guacamelee! Review – Luchadora the Explorer

Take two parts action platformer, one part Lucha Libre, shake (not stir) it, set it south of the border, and what do you get? One of the years most humorous and addicting downloadable margaritas to hit Sony’s console/handheld. Guacamelee! is the latest game from Drinkbox Studios which blends traditional Mexican folklore and an intuitive fighting system together in a Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic reminiscent of the Justice Friends from Dexter’s Laboratory. It’s got the looks and the attitude, but does Guacamelee! have what [...]
