Kung Fu Rabbit Karate Chopping PlayStation Vita This Summer

Badass bunny

Neko Entertainment is no stranger to the PlayStation Vita, having drip fed its devilish fluid-based puzzle platformer Puddle onto the PlayStation Store last year. But following a brief dalliance with the Nintendo Wii U, the firm is now planning on porting former smartphone favourite Kung Fu Rabbit to Sony’s handheld system, too...

Dragon's Crown's Dwarf Trailer Flexes Its Muscles

Body slam

If you felt that the previous Dragon’s Crown trailer showed a little too much skin, then you’ll probably be equally displeased with this brand new footage focusing on the Dwarf.

17th April 2013 (Europe)

Mockery of justice

In a strange turn of events, the European PlayStation Store update has arrived earlier than its North American counterpart for the first time in as long as we can remember. Sony’s commemorating that fact with the addition of a slew of content, including Injustice: Gods Among Us, the Journey Collector’s Edition, and

Daring digits

While the PlayStation Vita may feature its fair share of physical inputs, it would be a shame to let the system’s gigantic touch screen remain free of smudges. Fortunately, Mass Creation’s upcoming title Draw Slasher should give you enough of an excuse to coat the delicious display with your dirty little digits. The title –...

Ex-Idol Minds employee spills the beans on troubled exclusive

Do any of you remember Warrior’s Lair? The PlayStation 3 and Vita dungeon crawler – originally revealed as Ruin – made a big splash during the platform holder’s E3 press conference way back in 2011, primarily due to its first real hint at the potential of cross-save. However,...

Yakuza's Kazuma Kiryu Is Teeing Off in Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational

Gangster's paradise

Kazuma Kiryu’s proficiency with the martial arts may have made him a better fit for mascot mash-up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale – but the Yakuza protagonist is no stranger to the golf course either. As such, we suppose it makes perfect sense for the former Tojo Clan chairman to join the roster of Hot Shots Golf: World...

Llamasoft’s founder bleats on about the future of games

The word ‘legendary’ gets tossed around a little too much these days, but Jeff Minter is a British icon whose portfolio is more than deserving of the clichéd term. Since founding Llamasoft in 1982, the Reading-born developer has worked on a laundry list of noteworthy games, including...
