Viva La Vita! Anxiously Awaiting the PSP Vita's Arrival

The Sony family is expecting their new baby handheld, the PSP Vita, on February 22nd, 2012. This adorably tech savvy and absolutely brilliant bundle of joy is at about 182 mm in length and 9.8 ounces. Unlike its siblings, the PSP GO and the first, second, and third generations of the original PSP, this little guy will give PlayStation fans what they’ve always been looking for.

This handheld features baby smooth front and rear touch pads, dual analog sticks, front and rear cameras, motion sense technology, and because we get super bored sometimes, there will also be downloadable applications.

DC Comic Book of the Week: Justice League #5

So the DC book of the week is by far Justice League 5. I know it might seem cliche that the biggest title for DC is my book of the week and I can likely promise that for February when JL 6 comes out that will be too, but understand this book is unreal. Geoff Johns is incredible and Jim Lee is kicking-ass with the art. The story line is the perfect book to infant DC readers getting you into the main characters, weaknesses, showing each for how special they are, and integrating the team element into a great title, so without further ado here is the review.

Underworld Awakening Review

Ever since the first Underworld I have been addicted to the series. To be quite honest, vampires are a guilty pleasure of mine. That's really why I love True Blood. (And just for the record I'm really not a fan of the Twilight franchise, just to get that out of the way.) Another really big factor for why I love the Underworld franchise so much is because I literally grew up with the series. On top of that I have been madly in love with Kate Beckinsale since I first saw her in the first Underworld film.

The premise of this film is that the Lycan's (werewolves) and Vampire species have been discovered by humans and now they are on a campaign to completely wipe all of them out. In midst of all this is Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and a girl called subject 2 who inadvertently convinced an entire vampire coven (vampire hideout) to fight back against not only the humans, but the Lycans as well.

Starhawk Beta Impressions

When Incognito Entertainment (now Lightbox Interactive) released Warhawk on PSN in 2007, it was considered by many to be one of the best multiplayer experiences available at the time. It was a multiplayer-only title unlike anything that had been seen at the time. Warhawk put 32 players in a massive arena, dropped vehicles into the mix, and let the pandemonium ensue. It was critically well received and was a sucess for Sony.

Fast forward five years---Lightbox is finally releasing an unofficial successor to Warhawk in the form of Starhawk. Dubbed as "Warhawk in space", Starhawk takes all of the elements that made Warhawk so great, while also introducing some unique new features. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of playing Warhawk, but that doesn't mean I couldn't enjoy Starhawk.

The game is currently in public beta (it should be noted that only those with a code that was povided in retail copies of Uncharted 3 and subscribe to PlayStation Plus have access to the beta) and I have been having the time of my life with it. It makes me regret missing out on Warhawk. After three solid hours with Starhawk, I can confidently say it's one of my must buy titles for the year
