To quote: Hi everyone! Care for some mind-twisting adventures in HD?

If you were among the hoards of people who spent countless days in the '90s playing games that involved guiding tiny, relentless creatures with green hair through hazardous obstacles to safety, then prepare yourself, because those days are back!

After the PS Vita version released in February, A-Men is back on to Playstation Network for PlayStation 3.

31w ago - Ubisoft Montreal Community Developer Gabe Graziani has spotlighted Aveline the Chameleon today as part of their personas in Assassin's Creed III: Liberation coverage.

Below are the details, to quote: In Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, you play as Aveline de Granpre, an assassin of mixed French and African heritage.

Her assassination skills span multiple disciplines, and she is especially adept at manipulating the perceptions of others in order to move stealthily through all levels of 18th-century New Orleans society.

In order to understand Aveline's talents, it helps to have an accurate picture of the world in which she lived. 18th century New Orleans was a tumultuous place, having just transitioned from Spanish to French occupation.

People from all over the world and all walks of life interacted with one another on a daily basis in all sorts of capacities: rich landowners rubbed elbows with freshly imported colonists and wealthy merchants mingled with indentured servants.

It was a roiling hodgepodge of nationalities, ideologies, religions, social castes and political affiliations - perhaps more so than any other part of the burgeoning United...

31w ago - Sony Product Planning & Platform Software Innovation Director Don Mesa has announced today that Frobisher Says is free for PlayStation Vita on October 23rd, 2012!

Below are the details, to quote: As we continue to create more exciting applications and services for you to enjoy on your PS Vita, we're looking forward to introducing you to an interactive game we've crafted with you in mind - Frobisher Says!. This quirky party game, available exclusively on PS Vita, will make its debut on October 23rd.

Obey the rowdy and childish demands of a peculiar little man named Frobisher. You may find yourself poking otters with sticks, delivering puddings, drawing on eggs or smiling at ladies. With Frobisher, anything is possible.

The application is composed of more than 50 fast-paced minigames, each unique in style and designed specifically to change alongside the art as the games move along. Frobisher Says! is intended for you to use the full range of features the PS Vita has to offer, such as front and rear touchscreen, six axis motion sensor to manipulate the game's environment, and the front and rear cameras to create augmented reality.

Up to eight players can play these crazily entertaining games in addition to the single-player mode. Be sure to check out Frobisher Says! when...

31w ago - GungHo Online Entertainment America Community Associate Antonio Cara has shared a video spotlighting Dokuro: A Bone-a-fide Hero which emerges on PS Vita today.

To quote: In my last post, I talked a bit about the origins of my favorite numbskull, Dokuro, and the story surrounding his heroic exploits. My ever-diminishing pool of skeleton-themed puns notwithstanding, I'd like to go a bit deeper into the gameplay elements of Dokuro as well as the concepts that spurred development choices.

Although Dokuro was inspired by children's books - The Velveteen Rabbit and a Japanese children's book called Kuma to Yamaneko - don't let the adorable chalk-laden game fool you into thinking the Dark Lord's castle is child's play.

At first, Dokuro may look like a pretty straightforward 2D side-scrolling puzzler: You've got a clear goal of escorting the princess from point A to point B, and a seemingly narrow list of what you can and cannot do to accomplish it.

You push a few boxes around, toggle a switch or two, and bash a few bozos who try to hurt your precious princess. The game wouldn't be a fraction as interesting as it is, however, if it simply stopped there.

As you progress through the treacherous castle, you...
