  • Journey, the stunning ambient explore-em-up from designer Jenova Chen, swept the board at the annual DICE Awards. Voted for by the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, the awards are the closest thing the games industry has to the Oscars, although the ceremony inevitably involves less dance numbers.

    Already a favourite with critics and a top selling game on SONY's PlayStation Network, Journey took home eight awards, including the big three: Game of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction and Outstanding Innovation in Gaming.

    No other game came close to Journey's haul, but several games came away with multiple awards. The brutally brilliant XCOM: Enemy Unknown took home prizes for best strategy/simulation game as well as Outstanding Achievement in Gameplay Engineering. Microsoft's Halo 4 also took home two gongs, for Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering and Outstanding Achievement in Connectivity.

    Topping off a 2012 that was stuffed with superb titles across all genres, the exuberant Borderlands 2 was crowned Action Game of the Year, while Need for Speed: Most Wanted took the prize for best racing game and Mass Effect 3 was dubbed best role-playing game. Skylanders Giants beat Lego Batman 2 and Nintendo Land for Family Game of the Year, while PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale provided an upset in the fighting game category, as SONY's character crossover mash-up beat such genre mainstays as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Street Fighter X Tekken.

    Telltale Games' gruelling episodic adventure series The Walking Dead, based on the hit comic, also won big. It was awarded Adventure Game of the Year, and also took home honours for story and voice acting.

  • Sly Cooper, SONY's wily burgling raccoon, last had a solo outing in 2005 when Sly 3: Honour Among Thieves launched on PlayStation 2. The character dropped off the radar, but has recently made a comeback. Most notably with the rather lovely Sly Trilogy HD compilation earlier this year, and also as a playable character in PlayStation Move Heroes and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

    Now, finally, the slinky and sly hero will be getting a proper sequel, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Development has been handed over from original creator Sucker Punch to new studio Sanzaru Games, which handled the HD trilogy collection. Gameplay will once again revolve around platforming and stealth, with a delicious cartoon twist.

    Most interestingly, the game will be released for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and buying one version automatically grants you free access to download the game for the other platform. Save files can be synchronised, allowing you to carry on playing from one console to the other, while the PS Vita will also use its cameras for some bonus augmented reality gameplay.

    Anyone who played the previous games in the series will know just how smart and cool the Sly Cooper experience is, and after being patient for over seven years we won't have long to wait for the next instalment. It's out in the UK from March 27th.

  • It wasn't so long ago that suggesting the family gather around the TV to play a video game together would have been greeted with grunts of confusion, if not howls of dismay. That all changed when the Wii came along, and suddenly mums and dads, grannies and grandpas all understood what the fuss was about. Today, putting on a game to pass the time before the turkey is done is just another part of the festivities, so with that in mind here's our pick of the five best party games of 2012.

    Nintendo Land for Wii U at GAME

    If you want to be at the cutting edge of communal gaming, then Nintendo's Wii U is the must-have hardware of the season. Its touch-screen tablet controller, combined with the traditional Wii remotes (you can use the ones you already have) mean that multiplayer games can venture into areas never seen before. For the perfect illustration, pick up Nintendo Land, which offers twelve mini-games ranging from competitive action to cooperative puzzling. Luigi's Ghost Mansion, for example, has one player playing as a ghost, using the tablet controller to escape from up to four other players who are chasing them around a maze. With racing games, shooting games and rhythm music games, it's a brilliant showcase of what can be done when one player has their own screen, and it'll keep you playing together well into 2013.

    Mario Party 9 on Wii at GAME

    Maybe you're not quite ready to take the leap into Wii U? Don't worry - there's plenty of life left in the original Wii, as Mario Party 9 proved earlier this year. Reinventing the evergreen virtual board game series, you'll travel with the other players across various zones in dinky vehicles, rolling a dice to see how far you'll go. There are multiple routes through each area, cooperative boss fights at the end, and with eighty mini-games to try no two games will ever play the same way. Of course, you can play any of the challenges separately if you want to practice, or if you just don't have time for a full game. Bright, breezy and effortlessly entertaining, it's a game that everyone can enjoy.

    PlayStation All-Stars Battle royale on PS3 and PS Vita at GAME

    Perhaps your family and friends are a little more game savvy, and prefer a more focused experience? In that case, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3, PS Vita) should keep everyone happy. Played one-on-one, it's a thunderingly good fighting game (as you'd expect with former Street Fighter man Seth Killian in charge), but with more players it becomes a manic and hilarious romp as characters from SONY's biggest and coolest franchises run, jump and duke it out in wild interactive arenas. If you ever wondered what it would look like if Nathan Drake and Kratos had a fight with Sackboy and Parappa the Rapper, here's your chance.

    Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, PS Vita, and PC at GAME

    All that fighting might go against the spirit of the season, so why not try a competition that's a little less in-your-face? Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, 3DS, PS Vita, PC) is another massive character crossover game, but this time you'll be battling in cool vehicles that shapeshift from cars to boats to planes depending on the environment. There are weapons, but it'll take more than crazed aggression to win these races around the glorious arcade-bright tracks. No matter who's playing, there'll be a character you'll love - whether it's Sonic himself, Shinobi's ninja hero Joe Musashi or movie star Wreck-It Ralph.

    Just Dance 4 on Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U at GAME

    Finally, dancing games are still the default party game and with good reason. From sprightly kids to game-for-a-laugh grannies, everyone can have a laugh with Just Dance 4 (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3). There's a dance battle mode for those who want to prove their moves, a deep "Dance Quest" system for those who want a solid gameplay structure, and a track list that offers something for all tastes. The kids can get down to Justin Bieber, Jessie J and Carly Rae Jepsen, while mums can wiggle their posteriors to timeless hits from Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dirty Dancing, as well as pop classics from Rick Astley and Britney Spears. There's even pomp-rock classic The Final Countdown, which might tempt brandy-sozzled dads off the sofa for a quick shimmy.

    Whichever game you choose, you're guaranteed a great time and great memories. Just remember to share the embarrassing pics on Facebook, OK?

    PlayStation all-Stars Battle Royale on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita at GAME

    What do Nathan Drake, PaRappa and Metal Gear's Raiden have in common? Not only are they classic SONY gaming mascots - but they're also three of the 20 PlayStation icons currently slapping each other silly in the hilarious but surprisingly deep PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

    It's a bizarre sight when you first clap eyes on a cake-loving Fat Princess going fist-to-face with God of War's Kratos. Imagine Gigglebiz's Justin Fletcher beating up the entire cast of EastEnders or Gollum smacking down Jeremy Clarkson. Or a certain boyband singing live. It just doesn't sound believable.

    But the eclectic, eccentric collection of characters featured in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is for real - and the end result? Not a bloody mess but an absolute riot. You'll already know the premise if you're a fan of Smash Bros; a side-scrolling free-for-all brawler where multiple gaming icons slug it out, punching and kicking each other all over the screen.

    PlayStation all-Stars Battle Royale on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita at GAME

    And in the case of PASBR, the 14 backdrops to the action are brain-bending affairs too, featuring mash-ups of key level imagery spliced together from PS gaming greats. Think Ape Escape genetically melded with Killzone. Your head hurting yet?

    You could be forgiven for thinking then that with such outrageous characters and settings that the action itself might be all talk and no kung-fu trousers. But nope, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is the real deal with each character boasting their own in-depth set of moves and combos.

    Then consider the novel All-Stars Points system that replaces the genre's traditional health meter; instead of having to reduce, say, Devil May Cry Dante's energy bar to a bleeding stump, you'll need to power-up and land as many knock-out blows within each round as possible. Smart (and smarting) stuff.

    And such smartness means that by the time the novelty has worn off seeing Bioshock's Big Daddy get gut-punched by Sackboy, you're left with one seriously sorted beat 'em up that offers frenetic local and online multiplayer modes too.

    Actually, come to think of it, we'll never get tired of seeing Big Daddy get gut-punched by Sackboy. Sold.

  • SONY's answer to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros Brawl is out this week, pitting a bewildering array of classic PlayStation characters against each other in wild arena combat. The reviews for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale are coming in, and it seems like the game is worth the time of both fighting fans and long-standing PlayStation owners.

    IGN offers a healthy 8/10, praising SONY's Santa Monica Studio and developer SuperBot for creating "a bona fide fighting game" that is "vibrant and deep". "All-Stars comes packing considerable depth, one of the major things that helps it stand out", says the review. "This makes running through its roster fun, with differences between characters shining through."

    Destructoid goes one better, awarding a glowing 9/10 score and offering special attention to the game's excellent multiplayer battles. "It had to successfully marry both casual and hardcore audiences together, provide a solid fighting game base, and offer enough variety to keep players going and trying out new characters," reviewer Chris Carter reminds us. "For the most part, barring the half-hearted campaign, they've greatly succeeded."

    The Sixth Axis was also impressed, adding another 9/10 score to the pile. The ability to share data between the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the game was a hit with the site, along with the bright destructible arenas. "A brilliant purchase for both PlayStation and fighting fans," is their verdict. "Get some friends around - or play with them online - and have an absolute blast with SuperBot's brilliant debut."

    So if you've ever wanted to see who would win in a fight between Nathan Drake and Sackboy, it seems this is definitely the game you've been waiting for.

    Last week, the GAME online team took a trip to the Eurogamer Expo in London's Earls Court to get our many hands-on some of the top games that we'll all be playing over the coming months.

    The atmosphere at the event was a buzzing and bustling as ever, with gamers coming from far and wide to get their first goes at everything from the Wii U to Assassin's Creed III to Dishonored - which alone had people queuing for over an hour to play!

    With plenty of the team there, we were able to get a chance to play quite a few games. Here's what we thought...

    GAME played Aliens Colonial Marines at Eurogamer Expo

    Aliens Colonial Marines

    Tom
    Colonial Marines has been a long time coming. It was announced 4 years ago, and from the time we had during the Eurogamer Expo, for us the wait has been entirely worth it.

    We got to go hands on with the multiplayer side of the game. Taking up arms as the Marines, we strode into the dilapidated area of the complex on LV 426. It is clear, especially with this level, that attention to balancing the levels is key to how the multiplayer will work.

    There were plenty of places to fight back-to-back and funnel the Xenos through giving the marines a sporting chance, but also plenty of narrow corridors for Xenos to get up close, making guns useless, and dark areas for Xenos to avoid detection and hide patiently.

    The weapons for the Colonial Marines are taken from, and inspired by, the film Aliens. Set just 17 days after the events of the film Gearbox haven't taken liberty with the groundwork laid down by the 1986 film, Pulse Rifles sound and look like their movie counterparts, the shotguns have a similar look to the pulse Rifles, not everyone packs a sawn off in space for close encounters!

    And then there is the Motion Tracker, taken straight from the film, this will be your most used tool if separated from team mates. The Motion Tracker will detect movement around you and give the classic beep when an enemy is close by. Only problem here is that you cannot wield a weapon when tracking your foes, and if they stop moving they don't get picked up.

    You'd think that the marines, with guns and motion trackers, would be superior to the Aliens. This really isn't the case! The Aliens are quick, agile and can crawl through ducts and up walls to avoid gunfire or sneak up on unsuspecting prey. On more than one occasion during our playtime in ACM, we'd have aliens attacking from the front whilst a few craftier players crept up behind us and attacked with tails and inner jaws.

    Gearbox has done a great job with Aliens Colonial Marines by using sounds and files from the film to create an authentic "sequel" to Aliens.

    Marc
    The only Alien game I have enjoyed before was Aliens vs. Predator on the Atari Jaguar - the others have always disappointed. I approached with some caution, and, I'm very happy to say this didn't let me down!

    I also played the multiplayer map very much based on LV 426. We had to play as the Marines against the Gearbox team as the Aliens, and first of all we had to pick the arsenal that we wanted to use. There was a choice of five classes, one of which had the infamous radar on the assault rifle with a shotgun. I didn't find this straight away but when I did I was rocking and rolling.

    The sound effects were fantastic and sounded just like the film, and the screams of the Aliens were cool too. If I had been at home I would even have partaken in a bit of Hudson shouting" you want some too..." at the point when my screen was awash with my Alien bloodbath.

    But for me, the best thing was that we were told that whoever managed to the score highest would win a t- shirt. As a team, we had lost against the Aliens... but I won that infamous t-shirt! After walking away I listened to customers and their thoughts, and it seemed pretty unanimous that it would definitely be on our radar.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown

    Damien
    Fans of the original 90s X-COM games needn't worry that this reboot would be moving too far from the RTS traditions. This is still very much a turn-based strategy game, but one that now shines with enhanced visuals and animation to realise the alien-infested world and the XCOM team tasked with protecting it.

    The mission I got to try out was short and sweet, ideal for the pace of turn-based combat, which in turn makes it ideal for RTS fans. The isometric view works great for moving and controlling your team, intercut with closer angles during firefights and to reveal key evidence.

    The pace may be a little slow for those alien (pardon the pun) to turn-based strategy games, but if you are a fan of the genre, this game will surely be a delight.

    GAME played Rayman Legends on Wii U at Eurogamer Expo

    Rayman Legends

    Robyn
    I Played this in co-op mode with Kirsten. I had control of the GamePad, which mostly showed a replica of the main screen with prompts to guide me what to press/drag/swish etc. I played the supporting role as Murfy while Kirsten took the lead character using the Classic Controller.

    It reminded me a bit of Super Mario Galaxy where player two takes a supporting role of collecting stars while player one gets all the key action, but much more interactive and a greater sense of involvement and contribution. We had a great laugh. It was my first time using Wii U but I think I got the hang of it ok! It was hard to sync up our actions and we gave up completing the level in the time we had, but I could imagine my 10yr old LOVING it - this is definitely one for the kids.

    PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

    Damien
    Fast, furious and utterly bonkers, PS AS BR was another addictive treat. Four of us played together and just had huge amounts of fun trying out the different characters and levels where skill very much took a back seat!

    The four-player scramble battles were very much the best way to showcase this game, and the choice of characters and fighting styles made it so much more entertaining than a standard beat 'em up. Dante, Kratos and Cole McGrath proved to be the most powerful, but the real fun was to be had with the likes of Nathan Drake and Sweet Tooth, who take the infinitely fun choice of shooting their opponents.

    With the interactive environment as likely to take you out as the other players, and a kill vs death ratio determining the winner, this takes the best of beat 'em up battles, multiplayer mayhem and SONY's excellent cast of characters to form a game that will keep you grinning every time you play.

    GAME played Assassin's Creed 3 at Eurogamer Expo

    Assassin's Creed III

    Robyn
    I'd never played an Assassin's Creed title before, despite my friends' insistence.
    I was lucky enough to have a go at both the demos - first up, Naval Combat. Starting slowly (and that's being very generous!), I had a darn good go at taking control of the ship and unloading several rounds of cannon balls onto my target. Well, most went in the sea, but I got the gist in the end... just as my ship rubbed up against the rocks for the last time. Next time...

    It was such a unique experience with fantastic movement that was so fluid on the water. I didn't think about it at the time but when I think back, I got a sense of being on the ship and movement up and down with the waves, a sense of slowness and heaviness. Very exciting and different, I'd really love to have another go, but perhaps without a queue of not so novice gamers stood behind me whilst I batter the heck out of the ship!

    After this, I had a chance to play the 'On Foot' mission demo where I had to make my character climb a cliff face to carry out his stealth mission and assassinate three enemies. I managed to get to two of them but unfortunately my time ran out before I could get number three. Again, next time...

    I was knocked out by the gameplay and the the quality of the graphics and scenery was breathtaking. As someone far more at home with 2D platforms or racing games, I can't wait to have another go.

    Need for Speed Most Wanted

    Tom
    Most Wanted by name, Burnout Paradise by nature, and 20 Years of Convention out of the Window!

    Most Wanted sees you getting behind the wheels of some of the sexiest cars in the world to then throw them around the City of Fairhaven and the best part, most of the cars are unlocked as soon as you put the disc in, you just need to find them. Driving in Most Wanted is similar to Burnout Paradise, but the cars have a more defined sense of handling, acceleration and speed since they are based on real cars, and they look stunning.

    As you blitz through Fairhaven with up to 7 friends, Autolog will document everything you do so that you can send challenges to your friends for almost anything you do.

    GAME played Far Cry 3 at Eurogamer Expo

    Far Cry 3

    Damien
    Bright. Warm. Totally immersive. This first-person sequel has crisp graphics and gameplay that really make you feel like you're on the island, with everything from the effects of the breeze blowing to making your way through leaves and branches moving and reacting realistically. This is a game that truly gives you a sense of being in the first person - and one that really should be played on a high-end PC!

    As one of the more popular games I was only able to get about 10 minutes playing, but during that time I was able to take several different turns and explore several different parts of the island. From lookout posts, to knife-throwing challenges, to hang-gliding and some very vicious guard dogs, the choices of location and action all within mere moments of the respawn point were massive. If the world was this open in just 10 minutes of playing, I can't wait to see what hours of gameplay can offer.

    Plus it was fun to do a first-person game with a bow and arrow for a change!

    GAME played ZombiU on Wii U at Eurogamer Expo

    ZombiU

    Robyn
    First person + dark moody screens + jumpy horror = too creepy for me!

    I declined to play this as I could easily predict I'd upset Nintendo when I launched the GamePad in panic! (I know this as I did exactly that when I first held a real mouse. Ok I was 5, but..)

    So I was happy to watch Kirsten, and I did actually squeal when she was suddenly rushed by Zombies coming swiftly out of the water. She'd been distracted looking at her inventory (as instructed by the game moments earlier), and I can deduce from this that you need to become familiar with the GamePad and get used to referring back and forth swiftly or you'll not survive long.

    I'd like to have a go at playing this in the safety of my own home... if I'm lucky enough for the big fellow in red to drop a black Wii U down my chimney this Christmas. Or at least invite someone with a stomach so I can sit behind the sofa with my cushion and watch them through my fingers!

    God of War: Ascension

    Marc
    Looked fantastic, and played fantastically well, too. It was easy to get to grips with, even for a player who has never played one before. Fast, frenetic and with satisfying button bashing - just what you want in a hack and slash game! The executions were as satisfying as ever and the bosses were amazing - a must for all PS3 owners.

    F1 Race Stars

    Damien
    It's very difficult to talk about this game without comparing it to Mario Kart. many karting games have tried to fill the gap for non-Nintendo gamers, but this may be the surprise title to pull it off.

    F1 Race Stars offers classic karting gameplay, with simple controls and all the fun, charm and addictiveness you'd want - they even manage to throw in the bonus boosts, invincibility and throwing-stuff-at-other-drivers that makes it more than just a racing game. The F1 roots are still on show - get hit too many times or push your car too hard, and you'll need to quickly drive through a pit lane to get back to full working order.

    The drivers and cars may lack the individuality you'd normally get in a game like this, but the tracks - cartoony courses that are like crazy golf interpretations of the real F1 tracks - more than make up for it.

    All in all, this is a fun, addictive karting game that has raced to the top of my must-have list this year. The surprise treat of the day!

    GAME played Dishonored at Eurogamer Expo

    Dishonored

    Marc
    The most impressive game at the show for me was Dishonored. Great graphics and gameplay. The multiple ways to complete a level is a great idea, but it was the diversity in how you can go about those multiple ways that I loved the most. it's not just open-world levels, it's open-choice gameplay.
    Everybody walking away from playing it were talking about how good it was, too.

    Robyn
    I really liked the look of this - great visuals giving a real sense of place and intrigue. Watching the others play it, I wanted to get my hands on it too! The swimming was really realistic, and , the effects of the sun in the water as age tried to swim up wowed me, felt errr swimmy! But I wasn't expecting to see Corvo get eaten by a fish in the river!

    Damien
    As well as getting the chance to play games, the developer talks gave us a chance to learn a bit more about the games. For Dishonored, Arkane Studios' Christophe Carrier (Lead Level Designer & Audio Director) and Dinga Bakaba (Assistant Producer & Game Designer) took to the stage to provide a bit of background about the game, and to show that there really are two ways to play it.

    Supernatural stealth gameplay in Dishonored at Eurogamer Expo

    In their introduction, Christophe and Dinga told us that Dishonored came out of a love of the first-person game and its combination of stealth and action, and a desire to push the genre further. Gone is the rail-like direction of each level, replaced with a series of open-world levels, designed in a steampunky-style and inspired by plague-era London.

    But the biggest point of the game is the choice is gives the player. You can play it stealthily, hiding in the shadows, using your supernatural abilities for minimal combat and fatalities. Or you can go all-out action, with brutal kills and make use of a brand new arsenal of weapons.

    They proceeded to demonstrate this with the same level we'd played on the floor, with heor Corvo out to kidnap the Royal Physician (described as part da Vinci, part Rasputin) . First it was done with stealth, using back passages and rooftops, and possessing people rather than elimintating them. Or at least that was the theory - one mistake and the whole place was alerted to Corvo's presence and bit more force was needed than originally planned.

    The level was then played in full-on brutal fashion, where no guard was left undamaged (heck, even the maid got it!) and all skills were on display. Decapitation, hacking people limb-from-limb, setting razor mines and stopping time to avoid being shot and take your enemy out were all shown to bloody effect - and rapturous applause in places.

    A few extra tidbits came out of the Q and A session at the end of the demo - it is possible to complete the game without a single kill (except bosses). And, most tantalisingly of all - in the later levels, you'll find out that you're not the only one in Dunwall with supernatural abilities...

    Everything we see makes Dishonored more and more tantalising. Cannot wait to play it!

  • SONY's upcoming crossover fighting game, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale contains a who's who of famous gaming characters, but developer SuperBot has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that every character is true to their original nature. In the case of Bioshock's Big Daddy and Little Sister, that meant letting design legend and Bioshock creator Ken Levine write their script.

    "When it came to the script writing, Ken Levine actually took over writing duties and wrote every line of script and dialogue for Big Daddy and Little Sister in the game," producer Omar Kendall told Polygon. "We take this very seriously, and sometimes the IP holders know best, and obviously we want to present the characters in the best way for the developers and the fans."

    The same attention to detail was true for every other character used in the massive melee brawler. Even if the characters in question already belonged to SONY. "It's not a case of if I want to use Nathan Drake in my game I can use Nathan Drake and do whatever I want to that character," Kendall explains. "If I want Drake in the game, I still have to go to Naughty Dog and ... get permission to use the character. And they have complete, 100% approval on what we do with the character."

    "So to be able to amass the roster that we have in the game and pull all these characters off while working with both first and third party developers ... that's never really been done at SONY before. I'm very, very proud of that."

    PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is out on November 23rd for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. If you buy the PS3 version - with your choice of cover star - , you automatically get the PS Vita version for free, which is rather wonderful.

    Published: 05/10/2012

  • SONY has confirmed that it has now revealed all the launch characters for its upcoming crossover fighting game, PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale. The game finds characters from classic PlayStation franchises duking it out in crazy interactive arenas.

    Evil Cole MacGrath (inFamous)
    Colonel Radec (Killzone 2)
    Dante (Devil May Cry)

    Sir Daniel Fortesque (MediEvil)
    Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
    Spike (Ape Escape)
    Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal)

    Finally, there's Toro. Who he? He's SONY's Japanese mascot, also known as SONY Cat. Toro first appeared in the 1999 puzzle game Doko Demo Issyo, and has since turned up as a playable character or bonus costume in everything from Ape Escape and Everybody's Golf to LittleBigPlanet and Street Fighter X Tekken.

    SONY has also announced that anyone who buys PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale for the PlayStation 3 will get a free copy for the PlayStation Vita to play on the move. Nice!

Finally a game worth getting on vita , i was starting to get worried that no decent games would be coming out for the vita but then this gem fell through my letterbox today. i have been playing it none stop, the graphics are excellent as well as the gameplay. the story could have more depth but thats only a minor niggle as this is a brawler at the end of the day. Get this game now!

Get for PS3
It's a pretty good game, but if you're going to get it go for the PS3 version as it should have both the PS3 one & the Vita one as a cross-buy promo from playstation.
