PS Vita TV Thoughts

Hey Guys?

Unless you haven't heard, there is a new model of the PS Vita! Along with that, there is the PS Vita TV!

           The PS Vita TV alongside a DS4

The PS Vita TV is a set top box that can play select Vita games. It can also be used as a PS4 remote play set top box so you can do a pseudo Wii U 2nd screen thing. The PS Vita TV Will have Ethernet, HDMI, USB and can play games if Phsyical games or Memory cards.

      The inputs on the newly announced box

The little guy can also play PSP and PS1 Games, making the PS Vita TV a nice little device. I will most likely be picking one up to use for my youtube channel (I have one, and have had it for about 2 years, but never got around to making something proper, everything I did is scraped or pointless by now) and for fun. Because. Anyway, KXM would be awesome with a DS3 so I think I might be able to see that little box of joy on my TV organizer in the future.

Retro City Rampage Review (PS Vita)

Hey Guys!

I just picked up Limbo and RCR in the PAX prime sale and have some impressions. I've had RCR for longer (by about 2/3 days) so RCR comes first. Expect a Limbo review in the next week or so. Retro city rampage is an ambitious and beautiful demake (shout out to Eric Ruth!) of what seems to be closes to GTA III, but this game is even crazier than that, so I really don't know what to compare it to. You can drive, play cabbie, gamble, hunt for cheats and loot bags and, most important of all, "Blow Sh*t up". RCR was the first indie to be stuck in development hell, but with good reason. RCR is mainly a parody of GTA III, but parodies pretty much everything it can while fitting it all in nice and tidy at the same time. As you can now imagine, the game is open world, with world mechanics akin to its reverse spiritual successor???(kind of) and Skyrim(also kind of), leaving you to venture off into the tall grass and chase butterfly's. The glorious pixels of RCR look like a New 'n Tasty (Yes, pun intended) NES game (with shadows cuz #YOLOSWAG)

It looks great on the large OLED Screen of the PS Vita. They could do with some salt, however. The soundtrack of RCR is extremely well done. The chip-tune ballads of Norrin Radd, Virt and Freaky DNA. They sound just like those good days where there aint no static and ma beeper keeps beepin' (Today was a good day, G). The soundtrack make the purchase worth it by itself.

OVERALL

8.5/10

Today was a good day(RCR was 66% off), nothing more, nothing less.
