Today Sony revealed that the PlayStation Vita has managed to sell 2.2 million units between its launch many months ago and June 30th. The last sales figures that came out of Sony back in May stated that the Vita had sold 1.8 million units by that point. So at least within the last two months the company has manged to push roughly 400,000 handhelds to the public.

Sony has already stated that they believe that they do not need to drop the PlayStation Vita’s price, or at least won’t have to do so until next year. Then again, a price drop and maybe some actual special edition Vitas would actually help raise the sales of this floundering handheld. Some decent “original” games would probably help too…

Have some Grand Theft Auto V vehicle screens

If you have been pacing around in circles hoping for some new Grand Theft Auto V screenshots to come out of RockStar Games then you probably should keep pacing, because although the company released three new screenshots, there really isn’t too much to see here. Unless of course you love vehicles of all shapes and sizes…

The below images feature a bicycle, a car and a plane so… at least you get to possibly ride/pilot each of these vehicles once the game does come out in the future. I suppose you can be happy about the fact that the car’s license plate happens to say “San Andreas” on it.

In this Darksiders II Video, we have one of the games lead developers: Ben Cureton giving us a rundown on how best to utilise the combat of Death. The trailer is titled: Dealing Death and showcases combat from within the game. Players struggling to master the game might want to give this one a watch.

The combat in Darksiders II is pretty similar to the combat of Darksiders, however, the fighting styles of the two main characters are slightly different. For instance, Death has a more nimble and agile feel, giving him a much more quicker and more lethal feel.
