I've got a massive backlog of recent games.

I could easily do this. I just don't see myself playing on a portable at home, which is where I do 95% of my gaming.

Dante1124416d ago (Edited 4416d ago )

Good find, Trend. If I didn't have a Vita already I would probably roll with this.

sulack4415d ago

I find I do a tonn of gaming at home on my vita. When I dont feel like getting out of bed or getting bored during commercial breaks I play a bit. Its worth it for just that alone, and I also find bus rides, waiting for food, and long work days go by in an instant when I have the time to pull the vita out. Never thought id use it but I always do.

TooTall194415d ago (Edited 4415d ago )

I use my vita at my place sometimes. It all depends on how interested you are with the Vita. Don't buy something just because there is a deal. If you ever do want a portable I would strongly recommend a Vita.

Jason1434415d ago

ever since I got my vita it has swayed my opinion on console gaming. It changes everything up and is worth giving a second thought about imo.

I would definitely be all over this deal if it was in the US. Nice find!

TrendyGamers4416d ago

Yeah, it's a pretty good deal.

Soldierone4415d ago

Was ready to go to Gamestop right now when I read it, but like always these deals go everywhere else until the Vita is cheaper here....lol

Need a second Vita for the GF

Spenok4416d ago

This is a very good find. To bad for me i already have it. Oh well, it was worth a purchase anyways.

tiffac0084415d ago

Same here and I'm not in the US either. We never get these kinds of deals in my country, no matter what the console is. :(

Topshelfcheese4416d ago

I got rid of my original DS and PSP with the disc games and got the Vita for 32 dollars with a 16GB card. I had no need for the old systems anymore so it was well worth it. I will love the vita even more when I can play my PS1 games on it...

TrendyGamers4416d ago

I downloaded all the cheap Final Fantasy games this week so I don't pay full price when the Vita can finally play PS1 games.

Brash_Attack4415d ago

The link on the site just leads me an iTouch trade in. Where do we trade in for the Vita?

TrendyGamers4415d ago

The list of games to trade in is on that page. For some reason Future Shop made it an unadvertised deal, but pick any 5 games from the list on the page and take them into your local store.

honkyjesus4415d ago

The list is like six games possible or something. Do you have a complete listing for it? I go from the link and it is talking about an iPod, so I click on possible 360 game trade ins and it lists six games.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing699h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker9h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing699h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos15h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto14h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8814h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies4h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
