Yeah... wha?
I would check their Twitter but apparently my internet is down. Except for GAF. Apparently GAF still works.

That is my time, and still feel I could have a second or two off of it, but how in the world did people at the top of the world leaderboards get sub 20 second times!?

I think I could pull off a 20 second run given infinite time (and a way shorter load time between retries would help, thanks). If I put together the best aspects of all my runs so far into a single run, it would easily be under the 30 second mark.

I'm really enjoying the Hostilities mode on Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified. Is that mode co-op? I didn't see a cop-op option for it. Just want to make sure.

Just impulse purchased Vagrant Story. Amazing it is under 100MB. Will be next after FF VII.

Nope, no co-op. I would have kept the game if it at least had that.
EDIT: Also, another PS+ game for Europeans? Damn, SCEE are phenomenal.

Ok, that sucks. Thanks for the info.
Ubisoft: "We're still working on some Vita-games. I can't announce anything yet, but it's coming. The Vita isn't dead to us yet."
I wonder what they are. Raymand Legends is an obvious one.

Rainbow 6: Patriots! New Assassin's Creed! Splinter Cell! Far Cry! Ghost Recon! Rayman Legends!
....Don't Ubisoft publish Gameloft games? Maybe it's just some lame Gameloft games.
Excellent post and I agree with everything you've said. I think psnstores.com does a better job of promoting PSM titles than PlayStation.blog. The Vita Store and PSM section needs to be unified. They need a top 10 PSM games section within the Vita store. Enable PSM with SEN Store, etc ..
Does anyone have stats on how many PSM games have been released in 2012. How many in 2013 so far. Number of games in the pipeline (known), etc...

Ubi having faith in Vita :|
my guess that it's an AssCreed4 spin off since that the only IP that sells.
famitsu scores mean absolutely nothing.
it was an interview with a Dutch website,I don't speak that language but I'm sure it was an answer to a question about Vita situation/support.

Yup. Whenever Grace graces us with the deals.
Yes, you need a PS3, last I checked.
I needed it yesterday.
PS3 Sigma 2 will stay the best way to play you know.

I picked up the new generation of Chaos game, not that I played either of the other two titles released in America (GoC, and Aedis ecplise), but because I like weird FONTs and ST!NG.
The game plays similar to Ogre battle in how you manage your characters, but the attack/battle sequences are by timing button presses. You can follow up your individual attacks with other characters provided they are in range.
The game is menu driven, and after every battle you have the option to play an additional battle on that map for additional AP and EXP.
AP is used for powering up weapons or you can convert it to EXP.
I have not played it much, but that is the gist of the battles/character systems.
OH, everything has a voiceover, but they are all in Japanese. No dubbing is present in the title.
As Smart As is on sale and some people seem interested in the game, I will write something about it. Bought it at launch and have played around 4-5 hours, mostly daily training and some street challenges. Haven't unlocked every game yet.
It is a good pick up and play game and I find myself picking it up often just for playing the daily training once. The games are varied and most of them are fun to play. The handwriting recognition and overall input works most of the time but can screw you over sometimes, what can be really frustrating because of the impact on your score is relatively big.
The leaderboard features are well integrated. You can see how you are ranked with people in your hometown, country and continent and also rankings for those. Also there are daily questions with two possible answers from which the game compares both groups of answers. The questions are funny and it is interesting to see which group is smarter in the end. In the loading screens the game keeps telling you how good you are compared to others, who is currently the smartest or holds a record for a game.
The Daily Training is the meat of the game as your score will be determined by it. You can play it as often as you want but the first game on a day sets your score for that day. Unfortunately all games played in the daily training mode will be on easy which gets unsatisfying and a little bit boring. I get that everybody has to play on the same difficulty so the scores are comparable but easy gets easy way to fast.
An alternative would be playing the street challenges as the difficulty for the games varies but the street challenges only change every 72 hours or so. Also you can train the games in free play mode and set your difficulty level. Both modes just don't add to the daily score with all the integration it has.
Another point of criticism has to be the voice acting which was surprising for me. John Cleese delivery of the lines isn't that good and it seems to me that they have only let him record like 10 lines overall. They repeat very often and you know most of them after just a short playtime, really disappointing.
Overall, the game is ok and the PS+ price seems fine. Wouldn't disagree with people saying it was way too overpriced at launch. If someone buys it, feel free to add me as a friend, PSN ID is same as here. Need someone to compare scores with

That Shahid dude is tweeting that he loves a bunch of developers, all of them have made Vita games. I don't know if this is anything to do with those secret indie games for Vita or not...
EDIT: Some of them haven't made Vita games, actually. One of them was the Thomas Was Alone dev.

Okay so I am new to the Vita world. I only got mine on Sunday because my IGC was building up and I felt the need!
Anyway I have been looking at PSO2, which appears to be coming out on PC and Vita in the US on Thursday, and that it is Free to Play on both platforms?
Any idea if that is in the UK too? Am I even right about this? Seems like a big deal that no news sites are talking about...

the only place that will have PSO this week will be Japan.
There is an english PC version confirmed for release but there is no date set.
At this time there is no confirmation that the Vita version will get an english release.
when/if they get released though it is indeed free to play.
What? I don't think a localization for PSO2 Vita has even been announced yet.

Urgh ignore me I got totally confused. Went from an article about the US translation to an article about the Vita launch in Japan without paying enough attention.
Carry on!
B-b-but what about the blood?
Or the new sexy outfits for the girls?
60fps+better controls and sticks > all this stuff. (Playing the super fast Ayane in 30fps is just wrong)
I just want to say, for anyone if you have a PS3 and this is your first time with NG2 get the PS3 version.
and I doubt that SEGA will ever do it.

Upcoming stuff is impossible to track since anyone can make a game for PSM.
I did. Bought mine in early December from Amazon (used) and someone here on gaf referred me and it went through fine.
I should've waited on purchasing Urban Trial Freestyle
Renewing my PS+ today (49.99) Getting NGS2+ ($39.99). That $7.99 would've helped push me to $100. Now I have to make up $10 to make it. The Vita sale sucks because I need nothing from that list. Hopefully there will be unlisted sales in today's update.
