A look at features on the PS Vita that could make it a break-out hit for families (if Sony markets it right).
With Christmas almost upon us and the big videogame releases of the year under our belts, it’s this time of year that a gamer’s thoughts turn to sunshine, spring, and the next round of videogame releases. While the WiiU is still on the far horizon, the PlayStation Vita is starting ...
In the motion controller wars, the Move stands head and shoulders above the competition. Its controller, combined with the Eye camera, allows for accurate movement tracking and integrates well with Sony’s selection of movement games.
