    I liked Velocity Ultra, but wow, Velocity 2X is really something else. The ship sequences are still as fun as ever, but what really stands out are the old school Metroid-like 2D action/platforming sequences, when you’re out of your ship. I like how you go from one to the other throughout a level, and the…

    I’m a bit surprised considering I’m not big into fighting games, and that I know this game didn’t do well in general, but I’m actually having a really fun time with it (it’s currently free for Playstation Plus members). I’ve only been playing on Vita so far, but I took Ratchet and just loved going…

    I love the Joe Danger games so much, I’ve played all of them – including the fantastic iOS versions – and I’m still happy to be playing the first one, this time on Vita. It’s still fun, and it does feel really good on Vita. I’m of course so excited for No Man’s Sky, but…

    What a fantastic game. Minter’s been releasing psychedelic shooters for what seems like forever, and this is absolutely the best game he’s released as Llamasoft. It looks gorgeous on the Vita screen, and although it takes some time to get used to Tempest controls with a stick or even d-pad (which I prefer), I’m loving…

    The visuals on this game are really fantastic – it really does come off as a series of infographics come to life. It’s a puzzle platformer, with your interaction with the environment displayed through percentages and axises that you influence by moving/jumping around. I’ve only played through a few levels so far – on Vita…

    I want to play it on PS4 too, but so far I’ve been playing it on Vita, and wow, what a great game to have on a portable. I can’t remember how it compares graphically to the 360 version, but the pixel graphics are so nice and crisp on the Vita screen.

    I’m finally playing this, on Vita, and it does indeed make for an interesting experience. I’m not sure if the Vita version offers anything different from playing it on other platforms, but the one thing I wish I could do is experience Aliceffekt’s Purgateus, a mod that you can only install on the PC/Mac version.…

    I still think that Sorceress character is embarrassingly ridiculous, but I’m sure having a good time playing this on Vita. I really do love the art style – as I do with all Vanillaware games – and it just feels like the perfect thing to be playing on a portable. I’ve played a couple of…

  • 1001 Spikes

    This is a really great game to have on your Vita. First off, the full title is Aban Hawkins and the 1001 Spikes, and yeah, it’s an Indy-esque flavored game with the difficulty of a Spelunky, and incredibly difficult environments to traverse. And even though I’m usually not that into playing games that like to…

    We got lots of free goodies through PS+ last week, starting with PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate, a combo of the two games that have been released so far, with a fresh graphical paint job on PS4 (as far as I can tell, the Vita version features the same flat graphics from the originals, which I do…
