24w ago - Sony Co-Director Chris Reese of Bend Studio has announced that Uncharted: Fight for Fortune launches today on PS Vita.

Below are the details, as follows: Last month I announced Uncharted: Fight for Fortune, an original PS Vita title building on the Uncharted universe, was going to launch exclusively on the PlayStation Store in December. I'm here now to let everyone know that you can download it today!

Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is an action-adventure turn based card game featuring all the heroes and villains that you have met throughout the Uncharted games, including Uncharted: Golden Abyss on PS Vita, which directly ties into your experience in Fight For Fortune.

The learning curve for card games can be steep, but rest assured we spent a considerable amount of time in the early design of Uncharted: Fight for Fortune to make sure it was going to be easy to learn, engaging and a whole lot of fun to play. You will be playing within minutes of booting up the game.

The first thing you will probably want to do once you launch Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is kick off the Fortune Hunter single player campaign.

24w ago - Comcept Founder Keiji Inafune has posted up a video today showcasing both Leviathan and Ghost Mode in PS Vita's Soul Sacrifice below.

To quote: Today, I'm pleased to reveal a new monster, "Leviathan," and to share its backstory.

Meet Leviathan

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away, there were two twin princes. The older twin excelled at everything, and the younger one failed at just as much. The two were so different that it was a wonder that the same blood flowed through their veins. It was like pairing up a giant and a dwarf.

The younger brother grew up with a severe inferiority complex and developed an extremely dark personality. He started to enjoy collecting ferocious animals, one in particular being a crocodile from another kingdom. He put the crocodile in a cage, where he tormented it. It was the only time he could ever feel strong.

Years went by, and it was finally time for the heir to take the throne. Of course, the chosen heir was none other than the eldest of the twin brothers. Jealous, the younger prince stormed off to his room. He sat there, staring at his crocodile.

"If only I could get the crocodile to kill my brother..." he thought. Just then a strange voice resonated in the room and the prince could feel his body...

Below are the details, to quote: As we edge closer to the release of Lets Fish! Hooked On we're very excited to share the first official trailer with the PlayStation community, exclusively, to show some of the features that we first revealed on this very blog back in September.
