Game of the Year Best PlayStation Minis Game of 2012

Mini marvels

If this year proves to be the last for Sony’s short-lived PlayStation Minis initiative, then at least the platform holder can boast that the service bowed out with a bang.

News FuturLab Laments Lack of Trophies in PlayStation Minis

Valuable trinkets

Trophies sell games, of that there is very little doubt. Licensed pap such as Hannah Montana: The Movie and Trivial Pursuit have enjoyed cynically long retail legs due to their mind-numbingly easy platinum trophies.
