Reality Fighters makes me look like a man. A muscle-bound man with giant saggy breasts and a really bad wig. Yup, that’s me on the left there. When you start the game, you take a photo of your face which is then grafted onto a body that you customise further. You can make your character really fat and blobby, really [...]

Uncharted: Golden Abyss feels disjointed. I know nothing about how it was developed but playing through, it feels like there were two distinct design styles at work. The first encapsulates everything I detest about console gaming. The second, everything I love. A weird experience but on the whole, I enjoyed it. Mostly. I started out hating the game. Throughout the [...]

While lots of PS Vita games have fantastic soundtracks, there are some that include terrible noises masquerading as music (wub). Fortunately, the Vita allows you to listen to your own music while playing games. How to set up a custom soundtrack: Step 1 – Prepare your good music track(s) You can only transfer music that is either: On your PlayStation [...]

If you want to transfer data between a PC/Mac and a PS Vita then you’ll need to use Sony’s Content Manager Assistant Program. For example, transferring screenshots of PS Vita games, music for custom soundtracks or backing up those all important save game files. It’s a free download from the official website. Content Manager Assistant Features: Copy music, image and [...]

You have two options when buying games for your PS Vita – boxed or download. Unless of course the game is download only like MotorStorm: RC and Escape Plan. The boxed games come on bespoke memory cards that slot snugly into the top of your Vita. The other option is to purchase games from the PlayStation store, download them onto [...]

If you’ve managed to play WipEout 2048 recently you will have noticed that the load times for events aren’t exactly what you’d call quick. Don’t worry, because help is at hand. Those clever boffins at Studio Liverpool have been beavering away on patch 1.01 which does the following: Improves load times by ~25% Enables PS3/Vita CrossPlay Adds a music track [...]

The PS Vita Rooms event arrives in London this Friday, 17th Feb 2012. It’s open to the public, so you’ll have 5 days to check out the PS Vita hardware and 16 games before the official launch on the 22nd Feb 2012. But that’s not all. There’s also performances from Tinchy Stryder and Wiley and the FIFA Interactive World Cup [...]

The thing that strikes you most about WipEout 2048 is how beautiful it looks and sounds. There are so many intricate details on the ships and scenery and I love the way ships expel all sorts of gases and fumes as they race. The video billboards plastered onto the sides of buildings bring the world of anti-gravity racing to life [...]

Ever since Sony first released details of the PlayStation Vita way back in January last year (or the NGP – next-generation portable, as it was being called back then), I was immediately sold on the premise. Then we were treated to an amazing full reveal in June, showing off the Vita’s hardware and amazing line-up of triple-A games. Sony also [...]

I recently posted about the Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track video that appeared on YouTube over the Christmas period which I think signalled the start of Sony’s advertising campaign for wipEout 2048 on the PS Vita. I asked our resident graphics expert who has worked in the videogames industry for 13 years to comment on the video. Expert [...]

On JISTQuantum’s YouTube channel there is a single video entitled – Controlled Quantum Levitation on a Wipe’Out Track. This video shows two wipEout type ships racing around a small-scale track (Moa Therma from wipEout Pulse) that uses a magnetic field to keep them hovering above the surface. So Sony’s started the marketing campaign for wipEout 2048 then. Good job really [...]

The soundtrack to Sony Liverpool’s WipEout 2048 game has been revealed on the Japanese PS Vita website. It’s bad news for all those CoLD SToRAGE fans, like me, who were hoping for remixes of his iconic wipEout music which accounted for 8 of the 11 tracks in the first game. Anile – Change Of Direction (WipEout mix) Camo+Krooked – Breezeblock [...]
