The first One Piece: Pirate Warriors was a fairly enjoyable game, but certain story arcs from the manga were conspicuously absent. Some of those characters and areas were included in the sequel, but that game had an original story. So now we have One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 for PS3, PS4, and Vita, which adds [...]
It's a little ridiculous that Persona 4 is seemingly so popular that it deserves not only rereleases and two anime series, but its own dancing game. But that's what happening, and considering Shoji Meguro's music in Persona is always fun to listen to, a game centered around that music seems natural. Persona 4: Dancing All [...]
I'm curious how PlayStation TV will fare outside of Japan. The little device allows you to play almost 700 digital games on your TV, from PS Vita, PSP, and PS1, as well as some Vita game cards that generally don't require touch controls. In addition, you can use PlayStation Now to rent streaming PS3 games, [...]
Another World (or Out of This World as it was originally known in the US) is one of those unique, highly creative games that retro gamers look back on fondly. The adventure-platformer has you exploring a strange world that you accidentally teleported to, with many cinematic effects and just a generally high level of craftsmanship, [...]
We close out E3 2014#8242;s "Day 0" with Sony's press conference. Last year, this was the conference that helped propel the PS4 ahead of the Xbox One in terms of consumer excitement. With Cross-Buy, the ability to buy a game on one platform and get any other version for free (like buying on PS4 and [...]
After several years, Sega finally released a Hatsune Miku PS3 game in North America and Europe last year, with a Vita version released just this month. Apparently Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F did well enough that they're bringing over the sequel - also on PS3 and Vita - to both territories this fall. Hatsune Miku: [...]
It may have few must-play games, but the PlayStation Vita is one sexy handheld. Part of that is thanks to its OLED screen, which provides a vibrancy rarely seen on handhelds. I'm a diehard Nintendo handheld fan, but even I admit that the Vita's screen blows the 3DS out of the water. Of course, screen [...]
It's been a while since a skateboarding-themed game has come out, hasn't it? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Skate both had their success (the former more than the latter) but then quickly died out. Since then, no one else has really tackled that genre, but I suppose skateboarding isn't really "in" right now anyway. Still [...]
When showing off the PS4, Sony shared its desire to be able to stream PS3 games from their servers to the PS4 since the PS4 couldn't play PS3 games due to its different chip architecture. The console launched, but the game streaming wasn't ready yet, as we had been told from the start. But it [...]
While everyone is getting excited about the start of a new console generation, it's easy for smaller, niche games to get lost in the holiday madness. So allow me to draw your attention to Ys: Memories of Celceta, a JRPG for PlayStation Vita that just launched. Ys is a long-running series from Nihon Falcom that [...]
Here's a weird game that you probably won't get to play. Akiba's Trip 2 is set in Akihabara, one of the geekiest places in Tokyo. However, demons have invaded, so what do you do? That's right, you punch and kick the clothes off of demons to expose them to sunlight. And if some of those [...]
Were you aware that the first PlayStation console launched in the West in 1995? Yep, besides the December 1994 Japanese release date, it's been 18 years since Sony fully entered the console market after Nintendo's tragic betrayal. Sony Europe made this great video that shows several people growing up with PlayStation products throughout the years. [...]
If you didn't get the memo, Sony really, really wants you to buy a PlayStation Vita. The ailing handheld is in desperate need of a good install base. In Japan, they just announced two new products that will hopefully help turn the tide for the system. The first is the PCH-2000, a slightly redesigned Vita [...]
It's been over 25 years since Ys I: Ancient Ys Vanished came out in Japan, and since then, the somewhat-unknown series has grown, putting out many action-RPG sequels and spin-offs, as well as tons of ports. To celebrate, publisher XSEED is putting out a premium edition of Ys: Memories of Celceta, a loose remake of [...]
Microsoft came out strong today, showcasing 13 console exclusives and even showing off multiplatform games playable on Xbox One. Sony, however, has an advantage in that it doesn't have a horrible used game/online DRM policy, as far as we know so far. With that said, let's get into what they announced during tonight's last conference. [...]
Do you remember wirelessly connecting your PSP to your PS3 to play PS3 games on your PSP? You probably don't, because it was used for a scant few games, most of which were PSN games. Maybe that's because the PSP not only didn't have L2 and R2 buttons, but more importantly didn't have a right [...]
Guacamelee! is a Mexican-themed Metroidvania/brawler, which is a weird, yet delightful mix of ideas. The game has been in development for a while on PS3 and PlayStation Vita, but now it is finally coming out next month. Even better, buying the game once gets you a copy on both platforms thanks to Sony's Cross-Buy system!
The [...]
You can't fault gamers for expecting Final Fantasy X HD to be out by now. First announced at TGS 2011, the HD update to the PS2's first Final Fantasy game seemed like something that wouldn't take too long to push out. We didn't know if it would be an extensive retexturing with numerous fine-tuning like [...]
Hotline Miami, an 80s-styled indie game about ultraviolence, pleasantly surprised critics last year, garnering it a place on many year-end lists. For those who don't really game on their PCs, there was nothing to do but listen in on the praise the game was receiving. But soon, non-PC gamers can get in on the action.
Sometime [...]
As I was just saying in my last post, the PlayStation Vita needs more games, so I'm very happy to learn that Aksys will be releasing Muramasa Rebirth in the US. This gorgeous 2D game by Vanillaware is a port of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, which was previously released on Wii in 2009 by Ignition [...]
The PlayStation Vita is a handheld video game device manufactured by Sony Corporation. It was first released in Japan in December 2011. In 2015, some new games will be released for it.
