Journey Launch Trailer: An Instant Classic Not To Be Missed (The Game, Not The Trailer, Silly)…

It’s officially out on the 13th through PSN and yes, I’m urging you to give it a shot even if you’re automatically conditioned against indie games, downloadable games or quirky stuff you think you wouldn’t like based on some bias blocking your thought process and sense of wonder. Trust me when i say you’ll be awed and thrilled once you see what thatgamecompany has crafted. Journey is a game that feels ‘handmade” with its gorgously stylized visuals, simple, compelling gameplay and innovative online mode that actually makes it the safest online game to date (which should be good news to those with kids in the house who are wary about letting them play any online games). Anyway, tgc and Sony need to get this on out on the Vita and on a Blu-Ray so more PS3 owners can play it, but again, that’s all up to them. Personally, I’d spend the time and money on production of a retail version, get the word out on how great it is and see what happens..

Another Happy Dance Thing: Phantasy Star Online 2 Is Coming To The Vita With Cross-Platform PC Play

 

I’ve been seeing this rather cool news in a few places for days now, so I may as well make it something worth noting, as I like sharing bouncy happy game news. It turns out that Sega’s formerly PC-only Phantasy Star Online 2 will be coming to the PS Vita sometime in 2013. Even better, characters created in the PC version will be playable on the Vita and vice-versa, which begs the question: “Where’s the PS3 version of the game?” I’d imagine we’ll all get an definitive answer to that at some point soon, but from what I’ve read so far, there are no plans to do a console “port” at this point. I’d be the first to say it’s a no-brainer that PSO 2 should be on every platform, but of course, Sega has the final word on where their baby ends up…
