News Uppers Is a Kick Ass Brawler Coming to PS Vita
Uppers yours
While the PlayStation Vita may be looking bloody and bruised in North America and Europe these days, it remains a very viable format in Japan. And that's resulted in the announcement of a new game from Marvelous, which is a rad looking beat-'em-up from Senran Kagura producer Keinchiro Takaki named Uppers. In dreary anime fashion, the...
News Styx: Shards of Darkness Sneaks Up on PS4 in 2016
Styx it to the man
Styx: Master of Shadows, the surprisingly well-received stealth-'em-up from Cyanide Studios, will get a sequel in 2016. The game – named Styx: Shards of Darkness – will see the sour-faced goblin attempting to infiltrate the city of the Dark Elves in an adventure that promises "new enemies, new environments, and a plethora of...
News Press X to Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th on PS4
Unhappy campers
Pull down your hockey mask and grab the nearest cleaver: Friday the 13th is coming to the PlayStation 4 in Fall 2016. But there's a catch: you'll need to help fund it on Kickstarter. In what is becoming a frightening precedent, Gun Media, IllFonic, and Crystal Lake Entertainment have all teamed up to help create an asymmetrical...
News Far Cry Primal Takes You to the Stone Age in February 2016
Mammoth news
We didn't expect this: Far Cry Primal, the next entry in Ubisoft's open world property, will release worldwide on 23rd February for the PlayStation 4.

TGS 2015 Game Boy's Final Fantasy Adventure Gets a PS Vita Remake
Oh Mana
Final Fantasy Adventure, a Game Boy title that originally released all the way back in 1991, has a curious history – namely because it's not technically a Final Fantasy game at all and is actually the predecessor to Super Nintendo classic, Secret of Mana. Either way, a remake is in development for the PlayStation Vita and smartphones,...
News Free-to-Play Fave World of Tanks Targets PS4
Tank you very much
As rumoured earlier in the week, free-to-play competitive multiplayer title World of Tanks will be rolling on to the PlayStation 4 in the near future.

Coming to PS4 and Vita
A blink-and-you'll-miss-it reveal during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today, the elaborately named 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a PlayStation 4 and Vita sci-fi title from Vanillaware – the developer perhaps best known for Dragon's Crown.

TGS 2015 Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force Stomps to PS Vita
Gun-damn, this looks good
There was more PlayStation Vita during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference today than every E3 media briefing ever combined, and Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Force was just one of the titles on display. Series enthusiast Robert Ramsey has bogged off to get some lunch, so it's down to this clueless author to try...

TGS 2015 Resident Evil Umbrella Corps Gets Competitive on PS4
Dead to rights
Between all of the Resident Evil remasters and the surprisingly strong Resident Evil Revelations 2, you may be forgiven for thinking that Capcom's flagship horror franchise is returning to its roots.

Mai goodness

TGS 2015 Project Morpheus Officially Renamed PlayStation VR
To the point
Project Morpheus is set to release in 2016, so it probably deserves a proper name.

TGS 2015 Toukiden 2 Goes Open World on PS4 and Vita in 2016
A slayer's duty never ends
We probably should have seen this one coming. Given the success of Koei Tecmo's Toukiden: The Age of Demons and sort-of-sequel Toukiden Kiwami, it's no surprise that the franchise is moving onto its second iteration with the aptly named Toukiden 2. All that we have to go on right now is a brief teaser trailer, but the...

A newly formed internal development team over at Sony is working on the new project, entitled Hardware: Rivals, and it...
News Activision Demands Your Milk Money with Deadpool PS4 Port

News Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Will Conquer Vita Along with All of Its DLC
At least in Japan
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires launched earlier this year in the West on PlayStation 4.

News Gal Gun: Double Peace Plans on Bringing Its Risqué Pheremone Business West on PS4 and Vita
Careful now
If you've ever seen footage of Gal Gun: Double Peace, then you'll know why we put the word 'risqué' in the headline.
