Sony is ready for the influx of new Vita users, but may have made a costly mistake.
As of this morning, the PlayStation Store was flush with content for the newly released PS Vita. Sony dropped a metric crap-ton of new content onto the store, most of which is engineered to interact with or be played on the Vita. You’ll find new games, new apps and a few demos—plenty of content to keep you busy for your first few hours with the device.
There are three “augmented-reality” games currently available; Cliff Diving, Fireworks and Table Soccer all use the Vita’s cameras to detect player movement, which then influences gameplay. New games include Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack and Touch My Katamari. There’s also a new Twitter app, full Flickr support and Netflix, all for the PS Vita.
One curious tidbit has been raised by attentive gamers, though: some of the PS Vita demos are labeled as “PS Vita Game” instead of as demos, and are the full size of the actual game. There is speculation that Sony may have pulled another “Undead Knights” and accidentally released full games as demos, which would mean that you can currently pick up Rayman Origins, Dungeon Hunter, Hustle Kings, Little Deviants and others free of charge.
If you picked up a Vita at launch, now would be the time to check out those demos to see if Sony screwed up. Let us know how it goes in the comments.

The publisher once again proves that it’s run by thieves and sneaks with a new Vita-specific price hike.
Have you played Dragon Hunter: Alliance? You know, the game you can pick up for $12.99 on PSN, or for $0.99 on the iTunes Store? It’s a pretty cool little game, priced exactly right for what you get. Unless, of course, you’re getting it on the PS Vita.
That’s because Ubisoft, publisher of the game and money-grubber galore, has pushed the price for the Vita version up to $39.99. And it’s not like the Vita version is a different experience designed specifically for the Vita—it’s a simple port with a few additional features.
I’d do the math on exactly what percentage that mark-up would be, but I’m not good with numbers. So, I’ll just assume it’s a markup of shitload percent, which I’m sure is fairly close to the actual amount. Ubisoft isn’t really known for caring about its customers, but a price gouge of this magnitude is almost unprecedented.
So, yeah, if you want to play Dragon Hunter: Alliance, just pick it up on your iPhone, iPad or PS3. Or, if you’re into throwing your money away, on the Vita.

Despite an ongoing rivalry, EA has nothing but positive remarks for the “games as services” philosophy Activision has adapted.
Call of Duty Elite is a premium subscription service that launched with Modern Warfare 3. The service comes with a few perks, such as future DLC packs and advanced clan support. And while many gamers lamented CoD Elite as yet another cash grab, Electronic Arts sees it as an opportunity in the making.
In an earnings call with investors this morning, EA CEO John Riccitiello fired off a quick compliment to Activision, EA’s primary competition in the FPS market. He noted that adding a subscription to an FPS game (MW3) was a “best-in-class performance,” and that EA would be looking for similar ways to further monetize its franchises. Battlefield Elite, anyone?
The “games as services” movement is picking up steam, with companies like Activision leading the charge. Publishers are on the hunt for any method of expanding revenue, and the massive success of CoD Elite has gone a long way towards proving that the subscription model works.
What do you think? Would you pay for a CoD Elite-type service on Battlefield or Mass Effect 3?

But if you’re a PS Plus subscriber, you can play the beta right now!
Starhawk, the upcoming PS3-exclusive, has an official release date. The game, which is in many ways a successor to Warhawk, will officially be hitting store shelves on May 8, 2012. But that’s not all! If you happen to be one of the many PS Plus subscribers, you can access the game right this very second via a public beta. Assuming, of course, that you’re not trapped at work.
If you’re not a PS Plus subscriber, you still have a couple of opportunities for accessing the game before release. Purchasers of Uncharted 3 will earn access on January 31, while regular PSN accounts can jump in February 21. Finally, GameStop and IGN will be hosting beta code giveaways – GameStop’s is scheduled for February 7, while IGN’s is set for February 14 (Valentine’s!).
Here’s what you can expect to see in the beta, straight from the PlayStation blog:
Classic Arcade Flight-Mode: Private Beta players asked for it and we’re happy to include the classic arcade flight from Warhawk.
Host Migration: When the host leaves the game, the hosting duties transfer to another player and gameplay will continue, provided the option is checked.
Language Support: European and Japanese languages are included. Korea, China, Latin America and Brazil will be in English…but these will include the appropriate languages for the full game.
Skills: Players will be able to collect unique Skills to use in gameplay based on their performance. Playstation Network Friend Integration: Friends status, messages, and friend requests.
Bug Fixes: Lots and lots of bugs have been addressed.
Are you going to try to get in on the Starhawk beta, or will you wait for release?

Restrictive copy protection may make it difficult for you to improve your gaming PC without losing access to your games.
Nearly every games publisher builds an install limit into their games. Put simply, when you buy a game, you are authorized to install it on a certain number of machines before you hit the limit and have to buy a new copy. It’s a relatively fair way to ensure you’re not sharing the game with all your friends or up to some other nefarious purpose, and most gamers rarely encounter the install limits on their software.
Ubisoft, however, seems to have taken a different approach to the situation. It seems that their DRM is tuned to detect hardware changes in the system, which means if you upgrade the graphics card in your computer, the game you’re playing will consider the new card to be a second install. Once you’ve made a few upgrades to your computer, you’ll find your Ubisoft games unplayable as you will have “used” all of your available installs.
The issue was discovered by Guru3D, who was attempting to do graphics card comparisons on the new game Anno 2070. Once the game had been activated on three PCs (the install limit), it refused to boot up if the graphics cards in any of the PCs were switched, instead telling Guru3D that his install limit had been reached.
Thinking this block to be nothing more than an error, Guru3D contacted Ubisoft to let them know what was going on. Their response was not encouraging:
“Sorry to disappoint you - the game is indeed restricted to three hardware changes and there simply is no way to bypass that. We also do not have seven copies of the game for you."
So that’s that - if you want to play Ubisoft games, you are limited to three installs. Changing anything about your hardware setup could potentially count as an entirely separate install, and Ubisoft seems completely content to leave it that way.
What do you think of this limited DRM? Is Ubisoft about to end up on the wrong end of yet another DRM fight?

Nintendo 3DS titles score the top three slots for 2011 sales.
Japan’s gaming market is very, very different from the one here in the west. Japanese gamers are big fans of portable titles, and they’re not really that into the AAA FPS blockbusters that seem to do so well in the U.S. and in Europe. With that in mind, the 2011 software sales tallies for Japan don’t really come as much of a surprise.
Mario Kart 7 landed firmly in first place, followed by Super Mario 3D Land. In fact, of the top ten games, five were exclusively available on a Nintendo console. The rest of the list belongs to the PlayStation 3, with not one Xbox 360 title breaking into the top ten.
Here’s the full list, courtesy of Edge:
01. Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 3DS)
02. Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 3DS)
03. Monster Hunter Tri G (Capcom, 3DS)
04. Final Fantasy Type-0 (Square Enix, PSP)
05. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, PS3)
06. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (Capcom, PSP)
07. Minna No Rhythm Tengoku (Nintendo, Wii)
08. Tales Of Xillia (Namco Bandai, PS3)
09. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 Professional (DS)
10. Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, Wii)
What’s really amazing about Mario Kart topping the charts for the year is that the game didn’t hit shelves until December 1. That means that every one of the 1.16 million units sold moved in just a rough 30-day period. Not too shabby there, Nintendo. Also interesting is Final Fantasy XIII-2’s presence on the list, despite the fact that the game opened relatively weak and many news outlets lamented it as a failure.
So what do these numbers tell us about the western market? Nothing at all, of course!

We want to know which games you still hear in your head.
When it comes to game design, the importance of music absolutely cannot be overlooked. Music brings us into the environment, manipulates our moods and sticks with us long after the game has been turned off. Great games with bad music aren’t great games at all, and an amazing score may be the most memorable thing about an otherwise shoddy title.
When you think back on your long history of gaming, surely there are a few songs that stand out. Upon first glance, I can remember most of the music in Ninja Gaiden II, Mega Man II, various Mario titles and pretty much every Zelda game ever made. And if you asked me to pick one game that I thought had the best soundtrack ever, my answer would be The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Every piece of music in Wind Waker, from the epic overworld theme to the slightly altered Ocarina of Time themes present on each of the game’s tiny islands, is an absolute joy. I find myself humming tunes from that game at random, simply because they had such an impact on me.
So what’s your favorite game soundtrack? Something retro? Something new? Sound off!

The only thing better than performing bloody fatalities is performing them on the go.
Fans of fights to the death rejoice, for Mortal Kombat is coming to your PS Vitas. The game, developed by NetherRealm specifically for the Vita, doesn’t have an official street date quite yet, but all indications point to a spring release – Fatality!
Details are scarce on the upcoming fighter; what we know is that the Vita version of Mortal Kombat was built around portable gaming and features a few new game mechanics to take advantage of the Vita’s unique control scheme. Look for details over the next couple of months, as all we have to go on at the moment is the official announcement from NetherRealm.
Mortal Kombat is just the latest in a fairly long stream of fighters for the Vita – Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter x Tekken and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend are all expected in the first few months of the system’s western release.
Will you be compelled to buy a Vita now that Mortal Kombat is heading to the system?

The Nintendo 3DS has a strong pre-Christmas week, moving over 500,000 systems.
It’s been a pretty great month for the Nintendo 3DS. Ever since the launch of Monster Hunter 3G, the device has been flying off shelves in Japan. Thanks to the last-minute rush of the holidays, Nintendo managed to snag 510,620 unit sales in just the last week – a 39 percent increase from the previous week.
The Nintendo 3DS outsold the PS Vita by 13%, but it’s not clear what, if anything, that could indicate, considering the relative age disparity of the units and possible availability problems with the Vita. Either way, Nintendo’s once-maligned system is making a strong case for its future.
Mario also had a good week, with fans snapping up over a million copies each of both Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. There’s no longer any room for argument that the 3DS is a system in trouble – now it’s up to Nintendo to convince investors and get their finances back in the black.
In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how these big Japanese successes ripple through the western market. They could mark a new trend for 3DS sales over here, but they might not.
What do you think?
