PAX: A PlayStation Vita Debut
Posted by IGN on Aug 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Only a few months removed from bringing About a Blob — a cute little side-scroller where players squeezed and slid all around the world as a gooey mass — to the PlayStation Network, Drinkbox Studios has its sights set on the PlayStation Vita. Mutant Blobs Attack is coming, and here are all the mushy details.
Are those blobs attacking?
What is Mutant Blobs Attack?
Mutant Blobs Attack is a 2D, blob-based platformer from developer Drinkbox Studios. You’ll play as — you guessed...

Japan Review Check: Black Rock Shooter, DiRT 3
Posted by 1UP on Aug 18, 2011 | Leave a Comment
A selection of the most interesting games due to hit Japan next week, courtesy the review pages of Famitsu magazine:
- Black Rock Shooter: The Game (9/8/8/8, 33 points): The PSP action shooter, which got its start from a popular character seen around Japanese art sites, does remarkably well considering (or, maybe, because of) its nerdy roots. “The battles are simple but speedy, demanding snap decisions on your party,” Famitsu wrote. “They’re well-balanced, too, getting deeper...
Gamescom: Reality Fighters — A Novelty Title
Posted by IGN on Aug 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Of all the Vita games at this year’s Gamescom, none have left the IGN team as baffled as Reality Fighters. This bizarre title has made one hell of a bad first impression, leaving us wondering whether it might very well be the worst Vita game yet.
Reality Fighters is (surprise!) a fighting game. The twist is that it uses the Vita’s cameras to map your face to a character, as well as to let you battle it out in augmented reality arenas. I got a chance to have my face mapped to a character,...
Gamescom: Frobisher Says! is a Little Rough
Posted by IGN on Aug 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Keeping the software experience fresh, new and exciting on Vita is going to play a huge role in keeping the handheld relevant over the long term. Doing the exact opposite is going to be a detriment to Vita’s success. The good news for gamers interested in Frobisher Says! is that, in premise, it’s certainly in the former camp. A fast-moving minigame compilation similar in nature to a Wario Ware title, Frobisher Says! has a lot of great things going for it. But there are issues that are...
Gamescom: Smart As… What, Exactly?
Posted by IGN on Aug 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The mid-2000’s fascination with games like Sudoku inevitably led to the rise of the ” brain-training” genre, a movement pioneered by the most popular title of them all: Brain Age. Countless clones have since hit the market for just about every conceivable platform, and even several years after the movement has died down quite a bit, they’re still coming out.
And yes. One is coming to Vita.
It’s called Smart As… (with an ellipsis which I will no longer type), an...
Gamescom: LittleBigPlanet’s Fortunate Accident
Posted by IGN on Aug 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
It may be hard to believe, but when we see titles behind closed doors, things don’t always go the way they’re supposed to. When I sat in on a short demo for LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation Vita earlier this afternoon here in Cologne, Germany, things certainly didn’t go as planned. There were minor issues to be had as two developers wielded Vitas and attempted to show us what the game had to offer — sound wasn’t on, the cameraman wasn’t positioned to get a good...
Gamescom: Little Deviants — A Glorified Minigame Collection?
Posted by IGN on Aug 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment
When the PlayStation Vita first came to light as the NGP, a few games were mentioned right off the bat that would take advantage of its special range of input functionality. One of them was Little Deviants, a title from Bigbig Studios, the British developer responsible for the Pursuit Force games on PSP. Little Deviants immediately caught our attention as a title that wasn’t necessarily gimmicky, but rather as a game designed to utilize the Vita’s front and rear touch capabilities in...
