TGH Writes:
"Asphalt, for those who do not know is a high octane racing series created by Gameloft and seems to release on just about every mobile or portable platform imaginable. Their latest entry, Asphalt: Injection, for the Playstation Vita looks to continue the launch window tradition of Asphalt titles. Can this racer live up to other launch window racers like Wipeout 2048 and Ridge Racer or does it lag behind?"
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Ever since the advent of full-game downloads on consoles, it seems the market has slowly been shifting towards a digital future where games are delivered through internet connections rather than physical disks. While the convenience this brings is undeniable, and plenty of gamers have embraced having a stuffed memory card in their Vita, there are major pitfalls that are slowly beginning to show, one of which is that games can be delisted without any prior warning, leaving them lost to time unless you bought them before they disappeared."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
In addition to the Back to 2013 sale and PS Vita 2nd Birthday sale (both of which are live), a Ubisoft sale on PSP and PlayStation Vita games has begun today as well.
Dungeon Hunter : Alliance & Raymond Origins for $7 each ?
These prices are actually awesome.
* Was thinking of getting a Vita soon, I might have to go get one tomorrow, as I was planning on picking up Dungeon hunter for sure.
How long does this sale last ?
From what i've heard it's not bad but it's not great like a lot of gameloft games. There is a demo for it on the ps vita or ps3 if ya wanna try it on the big screen.
There's a demo? Hmm, must've missed it on the store. Thanks for the heads up! I'll go download it and test it out.
Not a bad game, just has a few dents in the armor. Still fun and enjoyable
I've been waiting to see how the racing genre would play out on the Vita; it's good to see some early titles getting decent scores!
