Belmont, you got taste.

@ZeD I've certainly had issues with it in the past few days. Might try it on my Xbox though!

Me too. Sarah's been my main since VF4E and I can't wait to Dragon Smash Cannon some ninja. Although Kage should be in it too so he can face off with Ryu of course.

In fact, I think I want a DOA/VF crossover in the vein of SFxTK.

Jacky would become the most balanced fighter in the DOA roster which is what really frightens me. Lion would be cool but let's face it, they're going to add a woman.

So different reviews may give it different scores? Interesting...

Sarah and Vanessa pls.

Bring it on.

@Order-Sol I won't make excuses for being a fan of technical fighters. Also, what's with all the "this guy" stuff? You know who I am :3

For me a fighter has to challenge your dexterity and your mental acuity, and SFxTK doesn't do enough to satisfy me. As always, your mileage may vary — and it certainly seems from reading other sites that I am very much in the minority — but my job is to call it how I see it and this is a strong 7/10.

@Tasuki Lots and lots of preowned

@Zergling When we find out what it's carrying, we'll surely do that

He should win easily.

PS3.

Glad to see I'm not the only one out there clamouring for a proper Shining Force game, but it seems these days SEGA is more interested in letting Tony Taka drain every ounce of military influence from the game and create real-time action games than proper in-depth strategy RPGs. It would be nice for a proper turns-based return to form but I think there's more chance of a translated SFIII trilogy, tbh.

Just caught this now — there was absolutely no need at all to show that little clip of the sex scene. Seriously trailer guys, grow up.

I don't even have any gold ones. I need to play more.

Hey, Goro... long time no see.

@seeafish Recently GAME's credit has become less reliable forcing it to pay cash up-front for stock. Obviously the bigger the game, the more stock it needs and the more cash it needs. It seems EA and GAME were unable to reach an agreement, so there won't be new EA games in GAME stores for the foreseeable future.

@smallclaws I have experienced absolutely no drawbacks whatsoever: I can still play online just as before, and nothing has changed (that I can see) other than I now access Netflix.

I very much doubt Netflix would cancel your account — and therefore lower their own income — because of changing your DNS settings. But hey, this sort of thing is at your own risk, as always.

@jonwahlgren Yeah, I expect this won't last forever, especially now I've publicised it on the damn internet. Hot damn.

"Imagine what Fallout's wasteland would look like on PS4"

Brown. Really, really brown.

@Master-Nas You might need to ask our friends over at Nintendo Life about that one; I only have a UK 3DS so can't check.

@SanderEvers I don't see why not! You'll need a UK PSN account to download the Netflix app — not sure about the requirements to create a Netflix account — but this should be OK. Why not give it a try and let us know?

@SamFisher Any review is one person's subjective opinion, and your mileage may vary of course We're not saying this is the definitive verdict on Smash 'n' Survive — it's our take on it. If you enjoy it, good for you — have fun

@SamFisher We review a game in the form it's released, as it's clearly at a stage where the developer and publisher feel it's ready to be purchased. We can't say what will and won't be patched but, if you buy the game today, this is our honest appraisal of what awaits.

@PlatinumGamerX Not that SEGA's announced!

Agreed, second one is the best, but I'll gladly take Vampire Savior any day

Wouldn't expect this to get better treatment than Space Channel 5, Sonic Adventure etc. — reckon it'll stay resolutely 4:3 and probably lose some of that fantastic music, like Crazy Taxi did.

Still... Jet Set Radio.

Now, SEGA.

@SkeeterHarris Should be live in the PlayStation Store by now!

@eliotgballade Blood Simple is a Coen brothers film.

@Azikira "AND with the idea that they want to make a game work on only ONE console"

Sorry, what? Is this about the unsubstantiated rumour that the next Xbox won't work with pre-owned? Because we should all know that's just not going to happen

You can't beat buttons can you?

"It amazes me that Sega took so long to go back to the Sonic 2 special stages."

I for one was hoping they'd give it a rest for a bit longer; I'm so fed up of racing down tubes to collect rings.

Yeah we don't have Targets in the UK at least. Can't speak for the rest of Europe!

@Mr_Reece SEGA WHY NOT MAKE A HD GAME THAT'S JUST LIKE THE OLD SONIC GAMES.

THIS IS RUBBISH, IT'S JUST LIKE THE OLD SONIC GAMES.

Not at the moment, PS3-only for now

@WolvsRein610 Afraid so! Sony confirmed it last week. If you want to play PSP games on your Vita, you'll need to buy them from the PS Store.

@MitchConcannon God Hand is amazing as long as you don't mind getting completely destroyed over and over while it beats you into shape. No other fighting game out there like it!

Best PSP game ever, probably.

God Hand for £8? Yeah, think that's coming home with me this week.

@eliotgballade I thought you'd have made it to 128-bit at least judging from your avatar

@fchinaski It's still PSN, the whole SEN/PSN thing was a little blown out of proportion

Damn good game, cycle or no cycle. Probably one of my favourite Sonic games of the past five years.

@ryanthehedgehog You wouldn't be saying that if you had a PSone while everyone else was enjoying online gaming and HD

Yes please. Though I really should finish the first one...

@MinerWilly Thanks for your kind words! Glad you enjoy our little corner of the 'net

It's confirmed for a European release so you could always import that version

It's not just "pretty rad", it's "rad as hell".

@zaphod At the moment we don't know when new games will be made available. Sony's said it's working on it but we don't know any more than that.

As for PSone Classics, they won't be Vita compatible at launch but that functionality will be added later, so I'm told.

@billy-beauts He wrote both of course but 28 Days Later is probably more famous than The Beach

My most anticipated game of 2012. No joke.

Give it to me now.

@Wonlee It's just going to be a straight port of the PS2 version with no enhancements, sadly. A shame as the Sharp Shooter worked so well in K3!
