Skyrim Dawnguard Expansion Now Available On PC
August 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A bit late on this story, but worth posting nonetheless. Bethesda made a surprise announcement yesterday at QuakeCon, revealing that the Dawnguard DLC expansion for Skyrim is now available for PC Players to enjoy. The expansion is available for purchase on Steam at this very instant for a price of $19.99. Conveniently, if you’ve yet to get your hands on Skyrim itself, it is half of on Steam this weekend as well. The Dawnguard expansion made its way to PC just about a month after it hit XBox Live. Sadly, it looks like PlayStation 3 gamers will have to wait a little longer. Bethesda also announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Dawnguard is not yet in a presentable state and will not be released before that. No estimated time of release was given.

Puddle Heading To PlayStation Vita Next Week
July 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Earlier this year, Neko Entertainment released a pretty good puzzler game on PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3. Next week, the game will make its debut on the PlayStation Vita. While the goal of the game is still the same, to get your puddle to the goal at the end of the level, the game has been improved and tweaked to suit the PlayStation Vita. The game has been made more user friendly with small tweaks such as being able to skip levels, tips on every loading screen and a menu reshaped to suit the Vita’s touchscreen. The game’s control setup have been given some flexibility, allowing to tilt the console, use the left stick, the should buttons or even the Vita’s rear screen. Neko Entertainment’s post on the PlayStation Blog also hint at some sort of easter egg in the background of the main menu. Read More!

PlayStation Vita Sales Hit Record Low in Japan
April 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
The Japan sales figures from last week are in, and it seems that the PlayStation Vita has sunk to an all time low. The PlayStation Vita had a weak launch in Japan and has since, failed to get a huge boost. The Vita sold a total of 8,250 hardware units last week, coming behind the Nintendo 3DS with 63,796 units, the PlayStation 3 with 17,765 and it’s older-gen relative, the PSP with 13,116 units. Certainly not surprising, as the system has not gotten much attention since launch, in terms of software titles. It lacks a lot eye-catching titles, especially to the Japanese gaming crowd.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss Review
April 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Vita launches and this is said to be the star leading title of the Vita launch line-up, priced at $50 at launch retail as opposed to the traditional $40. This is Sony putting their best foot forward, as the Uncharted series is acclaimed for being an action-adventure series of games, known for a cinematic linear narrative equipped with puzzle-solving, landscaping and of course, action, being either hand to hand combat, shooting your foes down, finding whatever ammo you can find (having to be resourceful and conservative at times) and even some stealth. Now with the complete Uncharted trilogy on PS3, the series has put itself, Sony and the Playstation 3 on cloud nine. Now we have this brilliant cinematic console experience and put it on a portable system and we get Uncharted: Golden Abyss. A prequel to the Uncharted trilogy, is this pocket-sized installment of Sony’s Indiana Jones experience something that needs to be experienced or does this prequel to need to stay in the past and forgotten?
