News Disgaea 5 Takes a Tense Tactical Turn Exclusively on Western PS4s in 2015
Grid-based grief
Tactical Japanese RPG Disgaea 5 – which, confusingly, is actually the sixth game in the franchise – was announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference earlier in the year. However, as it was a Japanese event, only an Eastern release date was announced, leaving the usual black cloud over the possibility of a Western launch...

News Wattam Is the Bizarre New Game from the Creator of Katamari Damacy
"Wattam I even looking at?"
Sony's keynote at the PlayStation Experience was packed with brand new announcements, but Wattam was easily the most bizarre.

News Sketchcross for PS Vita Looks Like a Game You May Already Like
Picture perfect
Innovation is overrated. Alright, maybe that’s a bit too much – but, look, sometimes there’s comfort to be found in things that are familiar.

News OlliOlli 2 Brings Skateboarding Shenanigans to PS4 and Vita in 2015

TGS 2014 Type-0 Companion Final Fantasy Agito Is Coming to PS Vita
Still no Type-0
When poor little Final Fantasy Agito was announced for smartphones and tablets, it was vastly ignored in the West, mainly because of its purpose as a prequel and companion game to the unreleased Final Fantasy Type-0.
