Remote Play – that is, using your PSP or PlayStation Vita to play PS3 games streamed from your main console – is a severely underutilised feature in the current gen. I can count on just one hand the number of games I won that actually work with Remote Play. It seems that’ll change with the PlayStation 4.

Sony planning a massive PS Vita push at E3
I’ve not left anyone in doubt about my doubts of the usefulness of the PS Vita, I really see no purpose for the device at all. However Sony believes differently and if two different rumours are to be believed this morning they are seeing the PS Vita as a big part of the PlayStation future.
Sony to bring the Vita back to life
Sony’s newest handheld, the PlayStation Vita isn’t doing particularly well in face of competition from smartphones and tablets, and most importantly, Nintendo’s 3DS. Sony’s biggest enemy with regards to the Vita at the moment though seems to be Sony itself; with not enough of a title push, the company’s said it expects to sell fewer than 5 million of the things in FY 2014. Sony, however, believes it can turn that around.
Preview: Soul Sacrifice
I'm not one to believe that a single piece of software can save ailing hardware, but Kenji Inafune's latest work has been instrumental in revitalising the Vita in the land of the Rising Sun. It's true that Japanese and Western tastes are not always in sync, and sometimes there's probably a lot of eye-rolling from both sides of the artificial cultural divide.
Table Mini Golf review – Putting at Par!
If you've ever visited friends or family in Cape Town, there are probably a whole list of things the locals will try to get you to do. From cage diving, to hiking up Skeleton Gorge to even spending a lazy afternoon in Kirstenbosch Gardens. Now, if your friends (or foes) are true Capetonians, they'll insist you buy a gatsby and with a full belly, make your way to Green Point for some “Putt Putt” (mini Golf).
For the first time, the Vita has outsold the 3DS
Sony’s PlayStation Vita, successor to its PSP has had a bit of a rough ride. Like Nintendo’s Wii U, it’s great bit of gaming tech that nobody seems to give a damn about, with sales not even nearly hitting expectations. That looks to be changing, as for the first time, the Vita holds its place as the best selling hardware in its native Japan – beating out the 3DS.
What are you expecting from the “Future of PlayStation?”
Later on tonight (or rather, really early tomorrow morning), Sony will be hosting an event to showcase the “Future of the PlayStation.” It’s widely expected that the company will reveal s few details on its as yet unannounced PlayStation 4, using the event as an excellent platform to get in before the competition; but what else can we expect?
The Vita just got a price cut
Sony’s just had a Japan-focused, Vita-centric event – and in addition to a couple of rather Japanese exclusive games coming to the system, the big news is that the Vita has finally received a price cut.
A new PlayStation Vita on the way?
To say the PlayStation Vita is a little bit of a failure, is to say that Darryn is a little bit unattractive to members of the opposite sex. Though the hardware’s magnificent and the launch titles were pretty fantastic, there’s been little in the year since its release to convince gamers to part with their money in exchange for the handheld. It quite desperately needs two things; a price cut, and some blockbuster system-selling games. Instead, it looks like it’ll be getting a slight hardware update.
Two games to make you want a PlayStation Vita
As a PlayStation Vita early adopter, I’ve been disappointed by the relative lack of stand-out titles for the system, specifically during the post-launch period. There are some great games available, but it seems that Sony and its developers just aren’t really trying hard enough. It’s why I’m looking at Killzone: Mercenaries with hope.
LittleBigPlanet Vita review – fun in the sack
Don't you just hate it when a reviewer launches off on a monologue about how a certain title is the reason why a specific platform was created, or why this one solitary game makes a plastic contraption a necessity? I don't know about you, but who are they kidding, right? Silly reviewers sitting in front of their silly electronic typewriters, stroking their moustaches.

Nintendo 3DS crushing the Vita in Japan
I recall quite vividly that when the Nintendo 3DS was first released it was called a gimmick and the beginning of the end for Nintendo and while sales started off slow they have definitely picked up a gear.
