Indie Games category for Vita added to PS Store Similar to the PlayStation Store’s Indie Games category for PS3, Sonyhas also introducedan indie section for the PS Vita. Looking over this line-up of games, it was only a matter of time. I mean,at least for me, this is the kind of software that makes the handheld so darn compelling.

Kennedy against the massive multi-limbed Verdugo. Yet it was absent in the remake until now.

Developer Playtonic cites recent controversy All the way back in February 2015, developer Playtonic invited YouTube personality Jon Jafari, aka “JonTron,” to be in their gameYooka-Laylee— which is about to launch next month. It was as simple as Jon giving the studioa “callout” on Twitter, a gesture that can make or break small indie projects (just see Elijah Wood’s tweet aboutRidiculous Fishing). But based onthe controversy that he’s been embroiled in the past month, Playtonic has had a change of heart and has removed him from the game....

Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days takes cues from Hotline Miami The easiest time to ignore licensed games is when they’re released in step with whatever (typically bad) movie or children’s cartoon they’re based on. Even when they’re based on a good one. Did you know there’s aJohn Wickgame? Do you care?
