F1 2011 PS Vita review

Phil Iwaniuk at 02:00pm February 20 2012

Here’s the quandary for any Formula 1 game – the sport attracts a special breed of hardcore fan so caught up in rear-blown diffuser measurements and 107% rulings that nothing short of an actual F1 car could ever sate their desires. Appealing entirely to these superfans is madness, because for the mainstream crowd your game becomes more unwelcoming than a cuddle with Bernie Ecclestone. A good F1 game lives and…

Virtua Tennis 4 PS Vita review

Joel Gregory at 03:59pm February 13 2012

Of all Vita’s launch games, none represents the console as a handheld PS3 better than this. Which is partly a good thing – it’s a fully featured version of an excellent game and looks stunning on the machine – and partly a bad thing, because there’s little here you haven’t seen before, other than some new triple-A features. That’s triple-A for ‘afterthought accelerometer additions’. Duh.

Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend PS Vita review

Phil Iwaniuk at 03:14pm February 13 2012

This is one of PS Vita’s strongest launch games in so many ways – a feast for the eyes and the thumbs, crammed with so many features that the main menu alone has 20 options. At its core it’s an immaculately engineered fighter, buffed up with six new characters and more story material – including all of prequel Calamity Trigger’s unfathomable narrative.

Little Deviants PS Vita review

Louise Blain at 03:07pm February 13 2012

A deviant: one who breaks the barriers of social norms. Not the only thing you’ll want to break once you’re a few levels into this misnamed lemon created to showcase Vita’s control system. Bigbig Studios has ignored the opportunities offered by a pair of dual analogue sticks and decided to focus instead on a series of repetitive tasks that mean coating your shiny new Vita in a layer of smudgy…

Everybody’s Golf PS Vita review

Joel Gregory at 03:03pm February 13 2012

If you didn’t know what to expect from an Everybody’s Golf game…well, it’s a wonder where you’ve been for the past 15 years. But if this handheld version is your first exposure, then you’re likely to be confused. Happy, possibly – what with all the bright colours and smiling people – but mostly confused. There are clubs, balls and well-landscaped areas, but it looks more like you’ve stumbled across the…

Uncharted: Golden Abyss PS Vita review

Joel Gregory at 02:00pm February 13 2012

If we could have anyone to hold our hand as we cross the frontier of a new games console… well, it’d probably be Rachel McAdams or a stern but comely geologist packing a flask full of single malt whisky. But – daydream fantasies aside – Nathan Drake would also be pretty high on the list.
