'PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale' Gets An Intro Trailer, Goes Gold
Posted 11/8/12 6:27 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PS Vita, PS3, Video
Superbot's massively multi-character brawler has gone gold for the Vita and PS3, and they're celebrating with a new trailer showing off the final boss, Polygon. The Super Smash Brothers-alike hits Sony's platforms (with cross-play) on November 20th.
Every PS3 copy of the game will include a code for the PS Vita version, showing Sony's desire to really increase the install base for their handheld heading into the holiday season, I guess. You can see the full lineup of 16 fighters over at Sony's official site.

New Video Game Releases For The Week Of 11/6: Cast Your Vote For Gaming
Posted 11/6/12 4:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in 3DS / DS, News, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360
Are you old enough to vote? Did you go vote? Go and vote, then come back and read this.
Done? Alright, let's go.
The other publishers seem to have made a nice, not super-competitive spot for Halo 4 in this week's release slate. Sure, other games are coming out, but not a single one has you looking down gunsights. In fact, the big trend this week is a collection of... collections. It's called counterprogramming--if you're not into being a Spartan super-soldier, the other publishers have distinctly different experiences on offer or worth revisiting.
High-minded dramas against the big, blockbuster action movie, as it were. Where Dragonball Z is the high-minded drama, I guess? I really should have thought this analogy out more.
Review: 'Street Fighter X Tekken' (Vita) - Portability X Controls
Posted 11/6/12 2:52 pm EST by Charles Webb in Fighting Games, PS Vita, Reviews, Video
What I have to say about the fundamentals of Street Fighter X Tekken on the Vita doesn't veer too far from Jason's review of its console counterparts. Specifically, it's an excellent melding of two very disparate franchises held together by the infinitely customizable Gems system, featuring an incredibly fun and wildly diverse roster of 2D fighters.
And with Capcom's port to the handheld, we have what could be considered maybe the "Complete" or "Ultimate" version of the game, packed to the brim with additional features and all of the DLC from the previous releases--which should make it a no-brainer to pick up, right? The thing is, you can play this six-button fighting game using the Vita's four button and shoulder controls, but why would you want to?
Wreck-It-Ralph Comes To 'Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed'

He's not a bad guy, but on occasion, he is a bad racer. The video game villain-turned-hero in Disney Animation Studios' next film joins the lineup of SEGA's Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
New Video Game Releases For The Week Of 10/30: Professor Razor Callahan - Frontier Dinosaur Hunter
Posted 10/30/12 2:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in 3DS / DS, PC, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360
We've got one of the year's bigger games out this week (literally, Assassin's Creed III can only appropriately be called "sprawling") while Criterion makes another go at open world racing games. Plus: puzzles! Plus (also): dinosaurs! You East Coast folks stay safe (you know, on the offhand chance you're reading this right now).
Join 'Earth Defense Force 2017' On The Vita In Winter 2012
Posted 10/26/12 12:00 pm EST by Charles Webb in News, PS Vita
The Earth Defense Force series has become an unlikely franchise since the first one launched in Japan back in '03. But from what I've heard over the years, these cheapie, alien-hunting shooters are quick, fun little games from developer Sandlot.
Now D3 is announcing that the latest entry will be making its handheld debut Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable some time this winter with four-player competitive and co-op multiplayer for the handheld, new gear, and missions.
'Dokuro' Review - Off To Save Another Princess
Posted 10/24/12 2:42 pm EST by Jason Cipriano in PS Vita, Reviews
Just because Vita sales are in a bit of a slump, doesn't mean that there isn't anything to play on the platform. If you look closely enough the Vita has fostered some amazing, hidden gems since it was released eight months ago. Sound Shapes, New Little King's Story, and most recently Retro City Rampage are some truly great games that have found a comfortable home on Sony's struggling platform. The latest game to add its name to the list of worthy titles is Dorkuro, an enchanting puzzle/platformer that offers a new take on trying to save the princess.
