I'm gonna end up beating Uncharted in like 3 days

Playing through Uncharted.......REALLY enjoying it more and more as it goes on. Started a little slow but it is definitely picking up and I can't put it down.

I'm gonna end up beating Uncharted in like 3 days

I felt the same way. At first it seemed like a second rate Uncharted but then about of a third of the way tbrough it started to bmow me away. I still can't believe how amazing it looked.

Going throgh it quickly just goes to show you gow great it is. It sucked me in just like its console brethren.

I'm sure I'll have to run through it on hard or crushing difficulty anyway. Plus there's SO many damn collectibles to get.

Link: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Vita Release Date

Konami confirmed the release date for the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. The game is coming on June 12.

This version only includes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It also features "Transfarring," which enables players to transfer and save data from their Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on PlayStation 3 to the Vita version.

The touch-screen and rear touchpad. are used to zoom in on cut-scenes, peek around corners, interrogate enemies, cycle through weapons, and perform rapid attacks with their knife, Konami says.

Definitely picking this up.

Never played MGS before

Well I beat Uncharted during my morning shit today. Got better and better as I got further into it. Interested to see how badly I do on the crushing difficulty now.

Thinking about picking one of these up in the next couple of weeks so I can have something to do on my roadtrips in the hotel. Too lazy to look up information, plus, I trust you guys. Give me info on what kind I should be looking at and all that jazz...

Don't get the 3G model, go with the Wi-Fi only. You'll also need a Vita memory card, which aren't cheap. However, if you have a few games, the smaller ones are pretty useless, especially if you plan on downloading games instead of buying the game cards. I went with the 16gb card.

What Swarley said.

Well since you two are the Vita Masters around here, looks like that's pretty solid information haha. Thanks.

Also, check your local Targets. They put Vita accessories on clearance a while back. You might still be able to find a case or charging cable.

I get so pumped when my fielders make big plays in my RTTS with my pitcher. Just got called up with the Rangers and Nelson Cruz throws out Pedroia going for a double on a liner down the first base line. Love it.

Ouch.

Link: Resistance: Burning Skies - REVIEW

Final Verdict:
2.0

BAD: 2s are generally awkward games that also lack originality. Any good they might have had are quickly swallowed up by glitches, poor design choices or a plethora of other issues. The desperate or the gullible may find a glimmer of fun hidden somewhere in the bargain bin pit.

 

[KNUBB]

Damn. Hopefully that doesn't destroy the hope of shooters on the Vita

 

[jms493]

Lulz...I had a bad feeling about to game. Next?

 

[Twigg4075]

Yikes. Oh, well. I only paid $20 and it's only one review.

Link: IGN = 5.5

When you switch to multiplayer, you lose the gripes about story and the ho-hum enemies, but you don't find the hook that'll make Resistance: Burning Skies a must have. Good for up to eight players, the online options are limited at best. There are no clans, a handful of maps, and perks that are just unlockable weapons and mods from the single-player campaign. If you're aching for a handheld shooter, the game's three modes (deathmatch, team deathmatch and survival) will be here for you, but I don’t know how much of a community will sprout up around this.

Interestingly, one of my biggest complaints about Resistance: Burning Skies is the game's audio. The orchestral score is beautiful, but it doesn't seem to get used all that often. Instead, it seemed like my soundtrack was my own footsteps as I ran through single-player and multiplayer. In multiplayer, another issue arose where I'd be all alone in an area but gunfire would sound as if it was raining down on me. No matter where I was in a match, it sounded like I was in the heat of battle as long as someone somewhere was using his or her gun.

Resistance: Burning Skies has the honor of being the first true twin-stick FPS on a handheld, but it doesn't do much with it. The story here is forgettable, the action is formulaic, and the multiplayer is simplistic. If first-person action is your favorite thing in the world, Resistance: Burning Skies is at your service. Just don't expect it to shine like we know this franchise can.

Link: PSNation Review

Conclusion:
When we had a conference call with most of our “PS Nation Staff” the other day, we discussed this game, and one of the first things I said was “you just know and feel that Insomniac didn’t make this game.” That’s not to say the game is bad, because it’s not, but it just doesn’t have that “soul” that the other games possess. The story takes a while to really get-going, and the lack of audio punch can take you right out of the experience at times, but overall, this is still a good game. I do still recommend it, but just know that you’re not getting Resistance 3. I had a hard time sticking with this one at the early stages, but I’m now glad that I did, as the last half of the game is very satisfying. As I cryptically posted on Twitter yesterday, “it gets better.

DANGIT. I was excited for Burning Skies! That pisses me off.

I've fallen off the Vita a bit over the last 2 weeks. I blame Diablo 3 for now.

 

[Swarley]

I'm now going to hold off on Resistance until I see some more reviews and impressions.

I'm all in on the Metal Gear though
