Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, may be a mouthful of a title but it looks like it’s going to be a handful of a game. I was able to snag a hands-on 15 minute demo on PS Vita as well as 3DS where I tracked Catwoman through the Gotham city skyline and walked away liking what I saw. Developed by Aramature Studio, a team comprising of former members of Retro Studios, Blackgate is an adventure that is it’s own entity. Not simply a gimped version of its console...
In an announcement today, Atlus has revealed that the much anticipated PS3/PS Vita Cross-Play patch is coming to American shores. The patch should arrive in the coming weeks and it will allow both PS3 and Vita players to team up on the epic looting runs that Dragon’s Crown is known for. This will add another layer to the already deep Action-RPG from developer Vanillaware.
Kick Beat is the new rhythm fighting game by Zen Studios, they’re most known for those sweet pinball tables we all love. I know, I know. You’re probably done with rhythm games after being flooded with them for years. Kick Beat is a rhythm game you should definitely take a closer look at, because it may just hook you. You’ll play through Kick Beat your first time as Lee and after completing Lee’s story, you’ll unlock the ability to play through...
Let’s be honest with ourselves, fighting games have gotten far too flashy in recent years. Gone are the days of the simple punch-kick-jump attack, replaced with combos and special moves that require as much memorization as a microbiology exam. One True Game Studios have set out to change all of that with the release of DiveKick for PS3, PS Vita and PC. This two button fighter will seem overly simplistic at first but it starts to reveal layers of strategy and depth once...
A few months ago I started work on an article titled “Ten Indie Games We Want On the Vita.” It was a slow and arduous process of trying out loads of indie games and contacting developers to ask them “Vita?” Some of them got back to me, other required research into old articles posts and the deep recesses of NeoGAF in an attempt to connect some dots. So why am I bothering to tell you about a failed article? Because nearly every game on that old list is now coming to...
At Gamescom yesterday, Sony officially announced a much needed price drop for their struggling handheld, PS Vita. Dropping from the launch price of $249, the Vita will now be available at all retailers for $199. Fifty dollars is a decent drop in and of itself, but Sony went one further and have also discounted to price of Vita’s proprietary memory cards, which consumers, myself included, have always found too expensive. This price drop couldn’t have come at a...
2011 saw the release of the film Drive, and it became an instant favorite for myself and many others. A lot of people took notice of Nicolas Winding Refn’s mesmerizing film, especially it seems Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin of Dennaton Games, as Hotline Miami is love letter to the almost beautiful brutality of that film. Originally released on PC in October of 2012 and subsequently nominated for and winning a slew of year end awards, Hotline Miami has finally...

The port features a new exclusive mask, Russell the Raging Bull, which when equipped turns the game into a blood soaked Black & White experience ala Sin City. Also added are touch screen...
Since the beginning of this year, Sony has had a constant stream of news regarding the three platforms they plan to talk about at E3. Each system is in a very different situation. Sony’s biggest focus will obviously be revealing more games and features for their upcoming PlayStation 4 console. While they will show more of the four games already revealed, expect a lot more during the press conference. It really has been impressive to see the support the new system...
Zombie Tycoon 2 seemed to be a promising idea when I saw the first press releases coming from Frima Studios. Having never played the original I decided to go in with an open mind and not take the original into account and just take this title for what it is. Who wouldn’t want to play a real-time strategy game featuring zombie classes and absurd monstrosities? Well, it didn’t take long for me to realize that person was undoubtedly me. The zombies are...
