Push Square: "For many, the Joe Danger franchise will forever be associated with PlayStation. After struggling to find a publisher, Guildford-based indie developer Hello Games signed up to Sony’s widely-publicised ‘Pub Fund’ scheme – a move which provided the studio with financial support in return for exclusivity. The game proved to be one of the PlayStation Network’s biggest hits of 2010, prompting positive word-of-mouth from multiple corners of the PlayStation community.
"In the eyes of some fans that viral promotion ensured Joe Danger’s success, so the confirmation that its sequel Joe Danger 2: The Movie would launch first on the Xbox 360 caused a minor backlash. Hello Games has since revealed that it wasn’t allowed to talk about the PSN release due to contractual obligations – but it has produced the port in record time, promising an additional 10 hours of content for patient players.

"In order to celebrate the game’s overdue arrival, we sat down with Hello Games’ technical director Ryan Doyle to discuss delays, inspirations, and the future of the Joe Danger franchise."
Microsoft is offering three additional free games for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers in addition to the regular lineup of games this month.
And still the contradiction of getting something for "free" from a service you pay for continues.

Neil writes "This week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale is full of bargains for both Xbox Live Gold members and indeed those with a Silver subscription. But which are the ones you should be making a bee-line for?"
I'm really tempted to grab Tomb Raider at that price, but I can't shake the nervousness that it'll be a free game for Xbox One as well soon.
GA:
I feel like I should like Joe Danger 2: The Movie a lot more than I do. After all, there's nothing particularly bad about it. In fact, it has more than its fair share of positives, all stemming from the fact it doesn't feel like Hello Games had to make any sacrifices to move their game from home consoles to the Vita. The controls are pretty easy to figure out, and they're every bit as responsive as they should be. It looks fantastic, even on the smaller screen. It's got a fun, simple narrative (a stuntman is making a movie!) that doesn't require any knowledge whatsoever of the series' first game. Taken on its own, it's about as unobjectionable as you can get.
