Sony made it very clear that the PS Vita was dead to them this year by ending production back in March. But oddly, they’re still updating it. Usually, when a company is done with a product, they cease all operations. Not just in building them, but also with updates. However, that’s not the case with […]
At the Tokyo Game Show this year, Sony announced that it will be halting production on the PS Vita handheld console in Japan over the next year. Currently, Japan is the only market that is confirmed as ending production, though it is likely other production lines will shut down as well. Especially considering Sony’s American […]
The PS Vita may be looking at death’s door int he next year or so, as Sony has started to shut down production of something vital to the portable unit’s success: physical game cards. It’s not really talked about among diehard fans of the system, especially those who love the ability to play their games […]

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was a fairly well received sequel to the cult favourite original. The episodic structure was a weird stumbling block, but now the full game is out you can have at it all in one go. And if you are a PS Vita owner, you’ll soon be able to experience the title […]
By Jared Cornelius Welcome back to Sweet Release! Bleeding Cool’s look at the new games hitting store shelves and digital platforms. I’ve been preaching about summertime being the dumping grounds for smaller titles for a few weeks now, and the climate really hasn’t changed. With our last entry being almost all digital only fighting games, the calendar […]
I have championed Crypt of the NecroDancer in a big way ever since I got my hands on the game. I even gave it a highlight award in Bleeding Cool’s Game of the Year awards. I really do have a major soft spot for this rhythm based dungeon crawler. If you can’t get the game […]
The Vita got one solitary mention during the Sony E3 Press conference, but I’d be surprised if you remembered. It was name dropped alongside World of Final Fantasy, which is also coming to PlayStation 4. Sony totally haven’t forgotten about the handheld though. They promise. To prove it, they released this trailer quietly on the internet […]
I’ve played Mike Bithell‘s Volume a couple times during its development and enjoyed it each time. Last time I played it at EGX Rezzed was certainly the tightest build of the game, and if you like old school stealth games like Metal Gear Solid, this will be right up your ally. We finally have a […]

Mike Bithell has really become a one of the most recognizable faces in the indie video game scene. The man behind Thomas Was Alone has been working on his next title Volume for a little while now, and I’m pretty intrigued by it. I’ve played it a couple of times and if you are a […]
I reported two days ago that Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is coming to Xbox Live for free in February and, conversely, we now know what what PlayStation Plus are offering subscribers starting February 3rd. PlayStation Blog revealed that SuperGiant Game’s Transistor will be available on PlayStation 4 to players with a subscription to the […]
It’s no secret that Japan’s gaming habits are quite different to the West’s. Where as North America and Europe largely prefer gaming at home on consoles, Japan loves the mobile and handheld market. The country prefers to game on the move and that has sustained sales of the Nintendo 3DS for years. It turns out that […]

By Jared Cornelius Welcome back to Live(ish) From The Games Shop. With San Diego Comic Con and E3 out of the way, it looks like we’re finally in the home stretch of summer. I know we have a whole month left, but one of the telltale signs of summer ending is the games release schedule is picking up. This […]
By Jared Cornelius Welcome back to Live(ish) From The Games Shop. It’s another week of the maddening summer lull and it seems that the major publishers and developers are content to leave money on the table with another blank slate of retail releases. While the console crowd has mostly left out in the cold this summer, the […]
