Invokers Tournament is a decent first foray into MOBA territory on PS Vita, packing entertaining multiplayer battles and an array of different equipment and weapons. Its held back by some quirky pacing issues and an evident lack of abilities, but it should provide a good amount of fun to those looking for a competent online experience.

"Let us not waste too much time getting caught up in the tattered trash storm that is the Kojima vs Konami battle raging over these past months. To summarize, there was some form of a falling out, so Kojima is out and new projects are to come. Well, at least we hope so." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
VGChartz' William D'Angelo writes: "This first chart compares aligned home console sales between the 7th and 8th generations. That is the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii combined sales aligned, versus the combined aligned sales of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U.
The 8th generation has struggled to keep up with the 7th generation - thanks in large part to the poor performance of the Wii U relative to its predecessor - and in August 2015 the gap grew by 1.24 million units.
The 7th generation home consoles in their first 22 months sold 58.86 million units, while the 8th generation consoles have sold 46.19 million units. The 7th gen currently leads by a total of 12.67 million units.

Jason writes: When Destiny was launched a year ago, the reception was, wellmixed. Its moment to moment gunplay was and remains its greatest asset. Everything we expected from a decade of playing Halo along with a suite of abilities fueled by space magic. Where the game faltered, however, was trying to be an RPG and a persistent world. First-person shooters usually have campaigns that last a few hours and then proceed to sustain players with competitive multiplayer. In Destiny, however, while there is PVP gameplay, the meat of the game was clearly meant to lie in PVE. For a year, the game has maintained a large following, but lackluster mission design, frustrating progression systems, and a clear lack of story content (or content period) turned many off.

"On the surface, its a third-person team deathmatch, but with the fine tuning Metal Gear has become known for, it becomes a lot more than that. Naturally, theres the basic idea that killing people who arent on your team is a good thing to do. Verily. If you find yourself in a tight spot without time to be tactical, yes, indeed, shoot the bad guys and hope you get em, because thats good for your team.
"But a kill puts a bounty on your head; it makes you worth more to the other team. Youll become a higher priority target, because if someone kills you, his/her team reaps greater reward. So that sounds like getting punished for being too awesome, right? But shut up, Im not done." -PSLS
One Angry Gamer "Modders are still trying to crack the code to add more characters and mod types to Bandai Namcos One Piece Pirate Warriors 3. Theyve currently managed to modify some of the graphics and draw distance with temporary mods until they can really buff the visuals up to what they were meant to be. Additionally there are some texture conversion mods that allows characters to wear costumes from other games, such as Naruto Shippuden and Hwoarang from Tekken. And for good measure, another modder has made an ultimate mod for PS3 owners."

"One year on, it's safe to say that Destiny is still going strong. With more players than ever filling its servers and new expansion The Taken King now doing the rounds, Bungie can start to roll out its plans for year two. However, just because Destiny's numbers are bucking the traditional dropoff most MMOs endure doesn't mean the studio is resting on its laurels. In fact, it's been hard at work addressing a number of issues and exploits that have held the game back over the past 12 months. Including a little glitch that enabled players to cheese unlimited heavy ammo."
Keith Stuart:
"When I was a young kid first discovering video games in the early 1980s, I used to go to the huge Wythenshawe library in Greater Manchester, where I could rent Commodore 64 titles for 10p a week. Usually, I went home with piles of fighting games and shoot-'em-ups like Yie Ar Kung Fu, Green Beret and 1942. But one day, when someone had been in before me and grabbed all the popular stuff, I glumly picked up all that was left: a copy of Deus Ex Machina, the bizarre multimedia art game by Mel Croucher about the birth of a living organism within a vast computer. I was 12. I wanted to shoot stuff, I did not want to watch a fetus gestate in a databank while Jon Pertwee narrated a story about a mouse poo. But I played it anyway."
Multiple teams raced to the finish over the last seven hours, eager to complete the newest Destiny raid, Kings Fall. But only one group can claim first.

Tom Francis:
"Being an outsider to the Metal Gear series, I was only cautiously optimistic about V. All I heard about the last one was that it had 90-minute cut-scenes. I watched enough of one of them on YouTube to determine that it was not my cup of tea. Of V, Id seen some fun stuff in videos, but I was half-assuming the story would barge in and ruin it."
