E3 2013: Muramasa Rebirth is ever so pretty

muramasa rebirth

One game I was quite looking forward to experiencing at E3 2013 is a title most Vita owners have been salivating over. It’s Muramasa Rebirth, a port of Vanillaware’s Wii classic, with updated visuals, a new translation and four extra DLC scenarios. The DLC scenarios naturally weren’t present for the demo, what with them not more »

E3 2013: What a difference a year makes for the Vita

Vita E3 2013

I love my Vita, but I admit that I have been a little concerned. Games aren’t flowing out as fast as I would like, and it seems like everyone wants to sound the death knell. Sony’s E3 2013 press conference wasn’t very reassuring either. While the Vita was mentioned, the only game that was given more »

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City were both amazing games that sold very well.

My Dragon’s Crown experience had two sides at E3 2013. I not only got to experience the PS3 version at Atlus’ booth, but I also experienced the Vita version at Sony’s booth. Call me crazy, but I had to try out both. I’m a VanillaWare nut and have been anticipating this game, so I wanted more »

E3 2013: I love reading minds in Stick it to the Man

stick it to the man

I don’t own a PlayStation Vita, but I’m pretty sure that’s going to change soon. I fully expected the Vita to get a price drop during E3 2013, but Sony’s press conference came and went without any such announcement. Even though I probably won’t be saving the $50 I thought I would, I’ll still gladly more »

Fieldrunners 2 may already have a home on iOS devices and Steam, but the fieldrunners are looking to invade more platforms. Namely, the Vita.

Toro’s Friend Network a free-to-play, social app has just launched on the Vita. As someone who loves Toro in all his forms, especially in Toro! Let’s Party!, I had to get in on this. After spending about an hour with the game, I have to admit that it’s about what I expected, though I didn’t more »

This may sound like a silly thing to get excited over, but I can’t wait to play Flying Hamster HD next week. See, Flying Hamster was a side-scrolling, shoot’em up from Game Atelier.
