26w ago - Sony Producer Greg Phillips has announced today that Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault is coming to PS Vita in January, 2013.

Below are the details, as follows: As many of you may know, when you purchase Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS3, you'll also be entitled to receive a downloadable version for your PS Vita system with cross-save and competitive cross-play support.

Our friends at Tin Giant have been working hard to bring Insomniac's PS3 game to PS Vita and to ensure that your experience is packed with all the action and polish you'd expect from a Ratchet & Clank game.

In order to provide the best gameplay experience possible, the PS Vita version of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault will be coming out in January 2013. The PS3 version will still be available for purchase at participating retailers and on PSN starting on November 27, 2012.

As a reward to fans for their patience, we will be giving them the first piece of DLC for the title, the Mini-Boss Skin Pack, as a bonus with their purchase of Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault for PS3.

This skin pack features three fan-favorite boss characters from past Ratchet & Clank games, including Chainblade from Going Commando and the Two-eyed Tyrhrranoid...

28w ago - Today Atlus Manager of PR and Sales Aram Jabbari has shared a video guide spotlighting the application of their Persona 4 Golden PS Vita Skin below.

To quote: Did you know that Persona 4 Golden is only 18 days away? That's 432 hours. 25,920 minutes. 1,555,200 seconds. THAT'S PRACTICALLY NOW, FRIENDS.

Seeing as how P4G's unique blend of social-life-developing and evil-shadow-defeating roleplaying gameplay is a must-own for PS Vita owners (YEAH, I SAID IT), and it's arguably reason enough for those pained on-the-fencers (Seriously, it must be getting super uncomfortable by now.

We have soothing balm on the PS Vita side, come join us...) to hop off already and snag themselves a sexy new PS Vita, we figured why not pimp out the special pre-order bonus PS Vita skin while we're at it?

Oh, you haven't heard of the pre-order bonus? Well, that's quite a pity, because while supplies last, folks who pre-order Persona 4 Golden from participating retailers will receive a DezaEgg protective skin for PlayStation Vita.

Yes, the same DezaEgg skin that's also included in the completely awesome, completely sold out Solid Gold Premium Edition of the game, which also includes a custom HORI Hard Pouch, HORI Face Cover, and a set of nifty stickers....

34w ago - Sony Social Media Manager Sid Shuman has gone hands-on today with Assassin's Creed III: Liberation on the PS Vita console!

Below are the details, to quote: Last week, Ubisoft graciously offered members of the gaming media the first opportunity to go hands-on with Assassin's Creed III for PS3 and Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, the upcoming PS Vita-bound chapter set against the backdrop of Spanish occupation in 18th century Louisiana.

Both games, of course, demonstrated plenty of promise: ACIII for its Revolutionary War-era pomp and Skyrim-rivalling scale, ACIII: Liberation for its sultry new setting and uncanny attention to detail.

But in the five days since the hands-on session, I've unexpectedly found myself reflecting more on my experiences with Liberation. Seeing the series' sprawling, hyper-detailed environments and fluid gameplay so faithfully recreated on PS Vita's luminous 5'' screen bordered on startling.

Protagonist Aveline also struck me as an interesting character with unique motivations, and the game's untapped 18th-century Louisiana setting seems like it could pay off in a big way.

Refined by leaps and bounds compared to its early E3 showing, the updated build of Liberation I played...
