Sorry about that, and thanks for letting us know! I've fixed it.

I continued an enjoyable research project in which I familiarize myself more intimately with the current state of British game shows. There's a lot of good stuff over there. A couple of favorites are The Chase, in which a team of four "regular folks" try to beat one of the show's trivia ringers, and Pointless, a sort…

You're hired

Links are fine.

Yeah, the best answer is "maybe." I wouldn't hold my breath, though.

Excellent question. If it were not my job to talk about video games, I would not buy one today, no.

@avclub-7a23ba7c9a8d850b6d46fd9ed5153a55:disqus  Well, it does technically exist, and there are some games that you can play with it, but yes, they have indeed been overselling it. Again, this could change any day with some firmware updates.
I do wonder how bad the input lag is going to be even when they do support a…

I haven't tested Remote Play because they have barely implemented the feature just yet. There's word of supposed firmware upgrades to come (for both the PS3 and the Vita) that will give Remote Play a respectable lineup of compatible games. At the moment, the situation is barely better than it was on the PSP, as very…

It feels fairly rugged. I wouldn't hesitate to toss the Vita in a backpack, and over the past week I stuffed it into a rear jeans pocket a number of times with no ill effects. So I trust it more in that sense than the late-model PSPs, which always felt delicate to me, like they had avian bone syndrome. However, it's…

The gap between MSRP and real-world prices is minuscule right now, so unfortunately you shouldn't expect much of a discount on the physical media (and of course the download pricing is firm unless Sony runs a sale).

AlwaysBeenTim echoes my thinking, feitclub. Can't put it much better than that.

OK, time to check out for the night. I'll be back during the day tomorrow (Monday). Thanks for the questions so far.

That costs extra.

Good question, and interesting way to think about it. I would say that in general, the sequels to console series feel a bit more slight than their non-portable counterparts. You are right to suspect that Katamari comes the closest to having some sort of heft. It is cleverly written and feels like a full package.…

I only get one "like," same as everyone else, but thanks for cracking me up, sir. "Staggering stew-bum" might be my favorite two-and-a-half words in the English language. As it happens, Anthony John Agnello will be reviewing Golden Abyss.

I did not know that. Thanks, Nert.

Yes, please post away!

You can indeed earn trophies on it, and they intermingle seamlessly with the PS3 trophy system.

I didn't play enough of Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational to include it before I had to put this roundup to bed, but having played it quite a bit over the weekend, I can report: It is Hot Shots Golf. There are the usual new courses and characters and verging-on-uncomfortable ethnic caricatures. Special Vita feature:…

Thanks, nate_boi! You could open a Japanese PSN account to play overseas games. BUT it is a pain in the ass. You have to reformat the device and essentially start from scratch every time you want to switch to a different PSN account. Each Vita memory card is similarly tied to one PSN account. So it's not as easy as…
