Playstation Vita's problem wasn't that it had a bad line up. It was incredibly strong, but it lacked a killer app. That usually isn't a problem because a reputable companies products can sell at launch on brand name alone. However, the problem with Vita's launch is that it came at the tail end of Nintendo unleashed Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land AND a Monster Hunter game for 3DS. Coupled with the 3DS being half the price of the Vita, It's clear why Vita's figures dr...

Skyrim is mine. Although I'm enjoying it. What the reviews and vast majority who played it said to me, was completely different to what I got.

There isn't enough time for equal love I think. I own all current gen systems and handhelds, but I hardly find time to play say, my Wii and I don't play my PSP as much as I used to. I only get the two systems out when theres that handful of games that I MUST play every few months, then put them back down again.

Even my 360 to a degree takes a little bit of a backseat as recently, my main systems of choice have been my 3DS and PS3, my PS3 being the main gaming console ...

I think Skyrim is a great game. Hours of content, great lore, well crafted world with some great gameplay ideas. But, it's overrated to the extreme. Why? The execution of said good points isn't up to scratch, and the only people who seem to be hailing it as the second coming of christ are people that don't play RPG's. If people wouldn't pound me with insults and disagree's, I'd like to explain why I think this.

Skyrim's problem is quantity over...

I knew the PS Vita was in trouble when the weekly sales of the 3DS in Japan were coming in pre-Vita launch. Not to mention Nintendo had the ultimate trinity of games (Monster Hunter/Mario Kart/Super Mario 3D Land), but I didn't expect the sales to drop off this much. I

In Japan at least, I think Sony made a huge mistake....allowing Nintendo to secure 2 Monster Hunter games exclusively for the 3DS. So now, not only does Nintendo have Dragon Quest, Pokemon and Mario games e...

This. Why does God of War need co-op? In what way will it enrich the experience. If any of you have seen the disgrace that is Ninja Gaiden 3's multiplayer, you'd know that it's not needed in hack n' slash adventure titles at all.

You obviously haven't played Super Mario 3D Land, while I really enjoyed LBP2 and I loved what I played of Rayman Origins, which I'll be buying for PS Vita, Super Mario 3D Land was a masterful platformer. While Little Big Planet, in my opinion, is a far more content rich and ambitious game, the platforming mechanics are left in the dust by Super Mario 3D Land as they aren't as polished.

A few of us, have no such loyalty. I have a PS3, 360, Wii, 3DS, PSP,DS and I'll soon have a PS Vita. I will buy WIi U, PS4 and 720 on Day one if money permits it. If theres anything I'm loyal to, its gaming and the upholding of said hobby.

Better than the PS2? I loved my Gamecube but that's bullsh*t and you know it.

Basically, what he's actually saying is that he will give out new information about the games releasing on Nintendo platforms between now, and March of this year. So expect release dates for the likes of Kid Icarus and Luigi's Mansion 2.

I don't think it matters too much. The most important thing for me is that both must succeed in order to quell rumblings of smartphones and tablets killing dedicated gaming devices from the handheld gaming scene. Of course it won't happen, but a lot of the idiots who claim otherwise are going to need concrete evidence. Hell the 3DS has sold 4 million in Japan already? More than the DS did. I wouldn't say handheld gaming is failing.

Had my 3DS since launch and I pl...

I wouldn't say the Xbox 360 killed it at all. Sure I got a lot of games for my Xbox this year, but that's purely down to the fact that a lot of them were games from 2009-2010 that I had missed and got on the cheap. Only new Xbox releases I got were Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City and Skyrim.

Don't get me wrong, the Xbox didn't have a bad year. But I wouldn't say it killed it. I was treated to far more frequent 1st party/excl...

Dark Souls:

- Superior Combat system
- Better Online Features
- More of a challenge
- (In My Opinion) Stat progression is superior

Skyrim:

- More detailed World
- Better Story (though neither have great stories if I'm honest)
- Far more to do

I like them both for different things. Between Skyrim and Dark Souls, you have all your high fantasy RPG needs answered I think. Started Sky...

Gotta hand it to the 3DS, can pump out some great visuals. I pre-ordered Resident Evil Revelations last week from Zavvi. This is for those of you who live in the UK. Although I don't like that Circle Pad Pro, Zavvi are offering the Resi-Revelations/Circle Pad Pro bundle for £29.99 which is a steal imo. So It's worth checking out because you're essentially getting a free circle pad. Would never pay money for it personally.

I tried out Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capc...

No. I'm a fan of games. I got a 3DS at launch, and I'll be doing the same with Vita lol There are loads of us who just want to play good games, and don't care what platform holder makes what.

I don't understand that though. Granted, it'll be cheaper, but why can't they just do a hard copy like they have in Japan?

Lol wait until you reach the Special Worlds man. It's actually quite challenging. I'm currently on the 2nd Special World. I think that Super Mario 3D Land proves why real handheld gaming demolishes smartphone gaming. Brilliant game.
