    "I've read all 96 pages of this thread..."

  2. The Essential PlayStation Vita

    Feature | The Essential PlayStation Vita

    Your guide to the launch line-up and everything else you need to know.

    PlayStation Vita launches in Europe and North America today! Sony's feature-stuffed slab of gaming prowess is invitingly sleek, but it's not exactly straightforward. It might look like a jumbo PSP, but with its dual analogue sticks, dual touch screens, dual cameras and motion sensors - not to mention its deep online integration and extremely close relationship with PS3 - there's never been a portable games console like it. Add an absolutely bulging line-up of software at launch, and it's easy to feel a little overwhelmed.

    Review | Asura's Wrath Review

    Grrrrrrrrrr.

    If you only watch one game playing itself this year, make it Asura's Wrath, eh? CyberConnect2's heavenly dust-up is energetic, exhilarating and often completely overwhelming.

    Have a Hartnoll.

    One of the enjoyable things about seeking out content for App of the Day is the freedom it offers - there's no review code to hustle after, and rarely any demand to satisfy the curiosity of the hype machine. Instead we can take recommendations from friends or just go browsing for ourselves, check the lie of the land, and then come home with the good news. Through a combination of price point and limited visibility, there's simply no such thing as yesterday's news on the mobile platforms - just good games.
