Is Vita cross-play feature an attempt to steal Wii U spotlight?
'Sony didn't shy away from attempting taking the wind out of Nintendo's sails. It's looking for any reason to help sell Vitas, and this functionality certainly doesn't make it any less attractive

WOW Breaking Bad was freaking awsome tonight!
Yeah me too a bit ....
I continued with this:
And the game continues to be a steady hack & slash experience. I'm getting closer to the end and its getting really tough now. All the abilities and high powered weapons I've gotten are making it pretty fun though.
And I started playing this:
And this game is pretty fucking killer so far! I wasn't sure at the beginning, but it picks up quick and once you see all the ability & item pickups and powerups you can do, as well as meet the merchant...this quickly becomes some great adventure gaming action. People compare it to Zelda, which is true...though I think it seems to have even more in common with Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver.
Metroidvania meets Vanillaware style graphics? Yes please! Thank you!
Anyone getting Sleeping Dogs this week? Or next?
On the fence.
I think I will get it eventually. Not too enthused about the U.S voice actors, they went to all the trouble of setting it in Hong Kong, a few accents would have been nice. One of the reasons I loved Shenmue 2 Euro version was the japanese voice acting, yeah I know they speak cantonese in HK but it all added to the eastern flavour.
Anyway:
Long live luscious 2D platforming goodness! Beautiful beautiful stuff.
Yes, please! Thank you!

Just let it be GTAV on GI.
I'll take HL3 as well.
EDIT: From twitter
Just because I'm tired of reading the news. GI Australia is not revealing GTA V or Half-Life 3.
FUCK YOU. Bah it happens during the EA conference so its probably Battlefield or some shit.
There's no option to use the asian voiceovers? Because I had it in mind to do that when I get it...
Hmm, what game could that be? Big title being announced tomorrow?
Fucking Darksiders is awesome...really liking it. As I'm playing, I keep thinking of how cool a game like this could be on the U Gamepad...mapping everything to the screen for easy access. Definitely think I'll be grabbing Darksiders 2 on the U.
I bought it...
Nintendo is taking the piss. £40 for downloading NSMB2? Really?
Really?

It's some stupid shit. No boxart, no cartridge, no distribution costs, no cut for a retail store. And it costs £10 more than you can get the boxed version for online. Really?
Nintendo characters dominate the Olympics
PC version?
I'd like to know if the 10 hours report is true. (OXBM UK said it was).
My, "Man I overestimate the average gamer" moment of the month:
"More than five months after Mass Effect 3 was released, only 42 per cent of players have completed the game.
That's less than Mass Effect 2, where 56 per cent of players finished the final mission."
Of course.
Well, Mass Effect 2 WAS the better game. And it felt a lot fresher than ME3...I could see some people who aren't HUGE fans giving up on it.
If anyone is interested 8-4 play podcast has over an hour of hands-on impressions of DQX in their latest podcast. The whole podcast is about 3 hours long and clocks in at 100 MB, so beware:

They speculate that DQX won't be released in the west for the Wii, which makes sense I guess given the Wii U comes out in 3 months.
