Fans told they can get whatever Nintendo’s offering already Since E3, Sony’s given the impression that it intended to use thePlayStation Vita’s crossover potentialwith the PS3 as a way of competing against Nintendo’s Wii U. This week, the company all but said it, withJohn Koller confidently sharing his believe that Sony could easily take the system head-on. “We tell our PlayStation fans all the time that what the Wii U is offering is something that Vita and PS3 can do quite easily,” said the SCEA executive toEngadget....

A gorgeous, Ghibli-style sim I’m always chasing the high of my first playthrough ofStardew Valley.It’s among my favorite games of all time, and something comforting I reach for during tough times, so having other titles to add to that arsenal is always a plus. We could always use moreStardew-likes. That’s not a saying yet, but it needs to be. It would make looking for new games a whole lot easier. For now, though, I have seen one new game on the horizon that will satisfy my need for a cozy life sim:Spirittea....

And it’s a trailer we’ve already seen During Sony’s announcement event for the PS4, Square Enix announced that their Luminous Engine would be powering games on the PS4. They followed this by playing the same gameplay demo shown at E3 last year (seen above). So, apparently, they wanted to reassure us (and possibly investors) that their hot new stuff is going to work on the hot new hardware? What a tremendous use of a rapt worldwide audience....

Don’t let Simon Belmont stand alone Super Castlevania IVis amongmy top fiveCastlevaniagames ever, althoughsome may have a difference of opinion. But however you may feel about the SNES’ first Belmont outing, I think we can all agree that that it’s completely appropriate for Halloween season.

It’s still looking wacky TheTiny Tina’s WonderlandsTGA trailer is out, and it looks pretty much the same, but with some celebrity sheen for good measure.

Kansas Jayhawks wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe has had a kick-ass season, racking up 78 receptions for 1,206 yards and 12 touchdowns (including three straight 100-yard games). How did he do it? No, he didn’t study game film, like most football players do — he merely played hours ofMadden NFL 09. When theKansas City Starasked what helped Briscoe improve his game the most this year, the sophomore specifically cited the 20th iteration of EA’s football franchise: “I’d have to say the updated Madden 2009,” since, in last year’s game, “they didn’t really roll their coverages as much....

If you have any questions about the game, provided that Icangive you answer (I’m only supposed to talk about the first five hours, but since this is a true open world game, that’s pretty all-inclusive outside of the narrative), I’ll help you out as best I can....
