Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PS Vita

Friday May 18, 2012

Coming out on June 12, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PS Vita isn't quiet as big a package as it is for the PS3 or XBox 360, but it does have its advantages.

There are a few things missing that would have been nice to have, though you can still get the game left out of this version from the PlayStation Store. And there's that nifty interaction with the PS3 version that just might convince some players to get both versions.

StarDrone Extreme PS Vita Review

Tuesday May 15, 2012

StarDrone Extreme PS Vita ScreenshotThanks to the folks at Beatshapers, I got to play with the PS Vita version of StarDrone Extreme. It's slick, shiny, and feels very polished (even if I did die over and over). I give it many stars (to see how many, click through to the review).

If you have the PS3 version, too, you can also pick up where you left off on the PS Vita version, and vice versa.

New PSP and PS Vita Releases This Week (May 13-19, 2012)

Sunday May 13, 2012

Yes, it is one of those weeks again, a week of no releases. And as much as I love my new PS Vita, Sony's really going to have to work to get the games out, because even though there are a tonne of fantastic games scheduled for release, they're not really coming out fast enough to stir up excitement from any but the most hardcore Sony fans. It might almost have been better to delay a few of the launch games in order to space releases out. But that's just me, grumbling. It's not like I don't have a giant backlog of games on multiple platforms to catch up on, anyway.

Release dates are collected from a number of sources, so there will occasionally be errors. Please note that some games may be released in some parts of the world and not others.
