Words cannot describe the sound I'm making about the fact that Sound Shapes is coming. It sounds awesome, and will give me a reason to use my Vita again.

Sev4281d ago

Agreed. This is the one game I've been waiting for since I played it over 12 months ago. Most anticipated game of 2012, even.

Oh, and thank goodness the PS Store Preview is here. Done properly, professionally, and with integrity. Hard to find these days.

will_c_754281d ago

Is planet ps part of your team or did they totally hijack your site's format?

Sev4281d ago

Unfortunately, it's the latter.

Tomdc4279d ago

Sure is shaping up to be a sound game... :D

alexcosborn4281d ago

Hopefully enough Vita owners don't overlook it!

Sev4281d ago

Luckily, even people without a Vita can still enjoy it on their PS3. However, I'd definitely recommend it on the Vita, first. The touch controls seem imperative.

dbjj120884281d ago

Yes. Sound Shapes was the reason I bought a Vita at launch.

TENTONGUN4281d ago

never heard of sound shapes. if yall say its cool i might acually check it out

doctorstrange4281d ago

It's awesome, plus if you get it on one platform, it's free on the other, so PS3 and Vita owners don't have to double dip.

kingdavid4280d ago

No, spend your money on the expendables 2 instead.

decimalator4280d ago

yeah, been looking forward to Sound Shapes since launch. will it just be on PSN, or will there be retail versions too?

Xof4280d ago

The reason for those 12 disagrees, in case anyone is still in the dark over this, is because you mentioned implied your Vita wasn't seeing much use.

A five month period with zero retail releases be damned, you do NOT imply that the Vita has NOGAEMS. That's the PS3's meme and it had damned well better stay on the PS3.

doogiebear4280d ago

Wth? What happened to 3 new games a month? Now its just 2? Also why give away both episodes of walking dead? Most who already own the first episode already got the 2nd too. So now I'm screwed this month. Whats the 3rd game gonna be?

Sorrow244280d ago

You win some you lose some.

doogiebear4278d ago

Yeah but why are we losing out on the promised 3rd game.

Sound Shapes
Payday DLC
The Walking Dead with PS+
MGS4 Trophy Patch

Busy week for my hard drive.

dbjj120884281d ago

It's getting stuffed with all the free PS+ games!

guitarded774281d ago (Edited 4281d ago )

No doubt... I have a 750gb hard drive and have less than 80gb left!!! I have to buy a 32gb flash card for my Vita now too because I've run out of space. Been trying to hold off for a price drop/sale on Vita memory, but I don't think I can :(

I believe uncharted patch also comes out this week allowing more customization, new character and better gun balancing. Yes a busy week for me.

Bowzabub4281d ago

Hope you're right about that, but the last I heard it will be on the 14th.

Summons754281d ago

"Demos - None"

well this is a disappointing week again, me and P4: arena against the world!

Sev4281d ago

Awesome Kefka avatar. One of my favorite villains of all-time.

Rhezin4281d ago

NEED THE NEW RATCHET AND CLANK!

Dragon's Dogma Is Still Amazing

Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

anast52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.

5 Games To Play While Waiting For Dragon's Dogma II

Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.

every gamer should play this game

gold_drake101d ago

cant wait for it, feb and march are busy busy months ha.

SovereignSnaKe101d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan101d ago

I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.

DivineHand125101d ago

Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.

The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.

For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
