And now the end is near....

There comes a time in life where you the a look at all the good times you have enjoyed and realise that now is a good time to part. I am of course talking about my PlayStation Vita! I spoke back in October on how I was considering trading in my Vita.  Thankfully Minecraft came out and saved the Vita for a few months. Now though it's sat in its  box,  wiped clean of all our memories and ready to go to Game.

Minecraft PlayStation Vita Edition - First Impressions

So last week, I wrote a piece expressing my doubts over the future of the PS Vita. Well, its amazing how much difference a week can make. Minecraft finally came out last week on the Vita and I have been sucked back into it on a new level. This yet another version of a game that has appeared on all Sony platforms but is best suited to the Vita.

PlayStation Plus Update - August 2014

Yes I know, I missed a month, but with good reason (see my latest Little Gamer Update). To be honest July's offering for PS Plus was was not the greatest. Although that is all going to change today with the August update for PS Plus subscribers. This month sees two exclusive indie titles that I have been looking forward to released for FREE! Two more classic indie titles that most people should already own, a LEGO game for another easy platinum. Oh! and Crysis 3.

Little Gamers Update - The one where I forgot to post

Erm, Hi! Remember me? We used to hang out a few months back... Yeah that's right, I would write about gaming and you all had to just read my opinion and accept them. Guess what, I'm Back!

So what excuse have I got this time or letting the site slip into almost obscurity. Too much work? Too much home life issues? Nope, for a change it is none of those problems. The reason I haven't written a post for so long is that I have been seriously gaming and having an absolute blast doing so.

Batman: Arkham Origins Week - Day 4

Batman: Arkham Origins - Comic-Con reveal

Comic-Con International in San Diego, is well under way and in between the hordes of fanboys and cosplayers, WB Games Montreal held a little screening of what to expect in Arkham Origins later this year. Detailing new skins for Batman, including exclusive PS3 Knightfall and "Sixties" Batman costumes.

There was also a new trailer showing one of the eight assassins brought in to Gotham by Black Mask to kill Batman. That assassin is Copperhead and looking quite a bit different from the comic books.

Hotline Miami - Review (PSV/PS3)

Due to the high level of brutal violence, this game is not for Little Gamers (EVER!)



Hotline Miami is the kind of game that the Daily Mail loves to write about. It is essentially the fabled murder simulator that people on Fox News have been banging on about for years. It should be banned, there should be liberal parents and moral do-gooders campaigning constantly that this game will destroy us all. Is it because of the games retro styled graphics that it can away with it in this era of 3D realistic shooters?

I know the real reason why... its because its so damn fun!

Hotline Miami - Coming to PlayStation this week

This week sees Indie hit Hotline Miami, released on both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. More importantly it comes out on the Vita. Hotline Miami is perfect for the Vita and is yet another instant must buy for the handheld. Once again, its is a cross buy title, so buy it once and get it on both PS3 and Vita.

If you have been living under a rock the last few years, you may not of heard of this game. Hopefully though you may of heard of the film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling. Drive feature a nameless getaway driver, who after a job goes wrong exacts a brutal and bloody war on the men who orchestrated the job in order to save his neighbour and her young son. The film is outstanding and two things that stand out the most in it is the ultra violence towards the films climax (its the film with that elevator scene) and its hypnotic eighties electro score.

Two developers, Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin saw Drive and took the next logical step. What if it was a video game, and so Hotline Miami was born. The game is a top down affair where the objective of each level is to kill all of the enemies in the level. The only snag is you are just as vulnerable as your prey, so one wrong move is fatal. The soundtrack is amazing, graphical style is pure eighties and the gameplay is so addictive you will be playing this into the early hours every day.



If you do one thing this week, buy Hotline Miami (£7.29 / €8.99 / $9.99). I fyou do two things this week, watch Drive and then buy Hotline Miami. You wont regret it!

Killzone: Mercenary - Gameplay Trailer

The latest trailer for the latest Killzone game hit the internet today. No, not Shadow Fall on the PS4. I am talking about Killzone: Mercenary on the Vita. After two missed attempts at an FPS on the handheld (Resistance: Burning Skies and COD:BLOPS Declassified, both developed by the same company) Guerilla Cambridge look set to deliver the Killer shooter the Vita not only deserves but needs. Take a look at the trailer and bear in mind that it features entirely in game footage and it is running on a handheld.

Get resurrected as a mystical Luchador and set of on a quest to rescue her.

Persona 4 Golden - The first ten hours

2013 seems to be year for Japanese Role Playing Games (JRPG). Maybe this is also due to my switch from Xbox 360 to Sony PlayStation, as Microsoft's console has not attracted much attention from the Japanese developers over the years. So now I find myself well into a playthrough of Final Fantasy VII, with Final Fantasy IX sitting there waiting, 10 hours into Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and now I have to throw Persona 4 Golden into the mix as well.

Surprise New Game Day

Took a few days to actually track a copy down in a high street store, but I finally got Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 PLus. Only managed to get stuck into the first level, but so far it is awesome and another testament as to why the Vita can offer more than mobile phone gaming. You just can't do this type of game justice on a phone.

RocketBirds: Hardboiled Chicken - Review (PS Vita)

Due to the Violent content, this game is not recommended for Little Gamers.



If there is one thing I cannot stand in the world more than anything, its penguins. They are always trying to take over the world. Just take a look at the lot in Madagascar movies, smug little $@#! Now I find out there is a whole army of them trying to destroy the free world. There is only one thing to do.... send in the chicken!

Killzone Mercenary - New Gameplay trailer

Sony have just released the latest trailer for new Vita shooter, Killzone Mercenary. If this footage is anything to go by, not only are we looking at the best looking Vita game to date. Also, We are looking at a system seller that the Vita really needs right now.

Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD - Out now on Vita

Brand new to the PlayStation Store today is the long awaited release of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD on the Vita. Strangers Wrath was one of critically acclaimed First Person Shooters on the original Xbox, behind Halo and Half-Life 2. Arriving late in the Xbox's life, this platform exclusive failed to find an audience and sales were poor. This may of been down to a poor marketing campaign by EA. 

Anyway, that is good for us as now we can enjoy this new HD remaster on the go. Rather than just running at a higher resolution, like some HD remasters. Just Add Water have gone the whole hog. New textures, high resolution character models, new lighting effects and normal mapping and the addition of touch screen features as well.

The game follows the Stranger and his journey to save enough moolah for a life saving operation, by rounding up Oddworlds most dangerous bandits and criminals. Played as both a first and third person game and some of the craziest weapons in history. Get ready for the greatest adventure yet in the wonderful Oddworld.
