Well ... Didn't see that coming

Following a successful launch, the PlayStation Vita has already proved a worthy adversary to it's console cousins taking first and second place in the UK top 40 games chart. Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Fifa Football soared straight to the top of the charts respectively, somewhat putting to rest doubts toward Sony's latest contribution. There are some interesting releases on the way for the Vita including ports for Blazblue and Street Fighter X Tekken (SFXT) making this a space to watch. Full story on videogamer.com.

Personally I would not have predicted the Vita to do as well as it has done in terms of these two games so soon at least. During this economic climate, a handheld that is more expensive than any of it's console big brothers at around £250 should not have done this well. Sony however, has defied logic and taken yet another mile forward in it's quest for world domination. As much as I would like to get my hands on and give it a go, I'd rather put that money toward March's big releases: Dragon's Dogma and SFXT!

I'm now very curious to see how the PlayStation Vita develops in hardware and releases over the next few months. I'll be posting all updates as soon as they come in, until then ...

Press Start!

UFC Undisputed 3: First Hands

Truly bringing the fight experience to your living room, THQ's UFC Undisputed 3 - released Friday 17 February (tomorrow) - has continued the series' reputation of engaging gameplay combined with a sharp presentation and attention to detail.

Despite being relatively unrivalled, the exception being EA's poorly received attempt in 'MMA', Yukes' latest offering still pushed the boundaries and attempts to take the entire experience to the next level. The fighting mechanics are mostly the same as the previous games with a few additions and changes, the most notable being the new submission system that involves a cat-and-mouse type minigame.

The third instalment of the series is definitely worth a look for veterans of the previous games and also for newcomers to the franchise.
