Played the Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale beta. You mash buttons instead of string together combos. It's also too fast paced; I didn't know where I was half the time. It was pretty fun, but I don't think I'll purchase it.

I'm thinking of snagging Odin Sphere now that its on sale. I don't know much about the game, outside of a few old reviews, but for $5 it seems like a fair enough gamble.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale beta is up. Plus exclusive until the 23rd. It ends at 11:59PM PST on October 30. Of course, once ACIII drops that day - at least this is the case for me - I won't be touching the beta that day.

Hello gamerinos, I have moved over to the Sony side! Any good game recommendations? Being an owner of both, I mainly use my PS3 as a bluray player, and then the exclusive games.... so, God of War III, Heavy Rain, Uncharted (1,2,3) Little Big Planet is also a ton of fun.

Being an owner of both, I mainly use my PS3 as a bluray player, and then the exclusive games.... so, God of War III, Heavy Rain, Uncharted (1,2,3) Little Big Planet is also a ton of fun. I've had too much trouble with Microsoft as regards to losing my accounts and emails messing up, losing things and having money withdrawn unwantedly. Then there is also the fact that I rarely go online, so it's never worth paying for it when I want to pay for it. The PS3 just seemed like a good jump, free online for one and I can also use the system for like you said Blu Ray. It has also got me back into gaming a little, I'll check out some of those games.

First Platinum trophy! Yep, just platinum'd Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on the Vita. Cool! I remember my first platinum, it felt so epic, and then you see people with like 30 and you feel deflated lol. How is LB2? I heard that the lego vita games like Harry potter and such aren't very good, but I really want to get one with my vita that I am gonna buy during christmas season. So far on my list of vita games to get, I want the all stars game, the little big planet game, and I'm not sure what else to get. Any vita recommendations would be lovely! I already had the launch games, but I sold the vita because I needed the money and I honestly wasn't touching it, but that white model just looks too cool!

The Lego games on Vita are the same versions that come out on the DS but polished a little more. The walkthrough for the DS version of LB2 was step by step what to do for the Vita one. That's why I got the Platinum and traded it toward ACIII Lol.

Quantum Conundrum is free for PS Plus members now. I will try it out when the PS Store gets back from under maintenance.
PS Plus starts on Monday for the Vita. Anyone who owns a Vita and is on PS Plus on the PS3 will automatically be on Plus for the Vita. And what a way to start out the Vita Instant Game Collection. Gravity Rush for free!

I've been handheld gaming since the Game Boy, and this is by far, the most complete package in a handheld ever. So should I let the fact that I've sold every Nintendo handheld I've ever owned because I feel that handheld gaming has been usurped by iPhones dissuade me from purchasing one? Also, can I play PSOne and PSTwo games on it?

Mobile gaming only goes so far and to me, it doesn't match up to the Vita. PSOne games can be played on the Vita but PS2 games cannot. Yet. I don't know if they're even working on the emulation to get PS2 games to work. So that much is a toss-up atm.

Gravity Rush, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout2048, Jet Set Radio HD, Final Fantasy Tactics, and When Martians Attack [or something] are the first offerings of the Instant Game Collection on the Vita with PS Plus. I need to renew mine before December, like, 6th or something. May try to grab a 3-month card this week sometime.

WHAT! Limited time offer for PS Plus members, a FULL YEAR of Music Unlimited for the low price of $12!! A full year month to month is $120, so Plus members will get it for 90% off! Limited time for non-Plus members is $60 so that's even a 50% savings.....I may seriously do that. I started my free month at the beginning of this month, and I really like the service. I have the app on both my PS3 and Vita, and it's available on Android devices so I will be downloading it on my phone soon.

The Assassin's Creed Liberation Vita bundle is $179.99 on Amazon right now. I'm sort of in the market for a handheld console and I thought I was totally settled on a 3DS, but this is so damn tempting.
I probably shouldn't. I have a PSP and that thing was virtually useless. Truth be told, it doesn't seem like the Vita is performing any better support wise.

Truth be told, it doesn't seem like the Vita is performing any better support wise. The number of games may be lower, but the quality of games is 1000x better. You won't see every movie-based kiddie game on the Vita. You see things like COD, Assassin's Creed, Mortal Kombat, Uncharted. Great titles, and truthfully, not bad games - in the case of COD. It's really not as bad as reviews are saying. That's just one guy's opinion. Mine, lol. Anyways, I jumped on the deal of a year of Music Unlimited for $12. I couldn't pass it up or risk it only being a one week thing. There are new Ultimate Editions for games on the Store as well. Alice: Madness Returns, Homefront, Mass Effect 2, among others. Good prices as well. I wanna get the Alice: Madness Returns one before they take those deals off.

It's great, it really is; but if you didn't use your PSP I doubt you'll use this either. The novelty of having dedicated handhelds is wearing off quick.
