All right, so Sony may have announced some rather dismal news about the PS Vita, and their consumer actions otherwise this week have been less than great, but the following video, running us through a demo of the Uncharted Vita game has made us Sony fans once again, at least for the 10 minutes that it plays.
This portable Uncharted experience looks great so far. The game’s director and writer shows us how good the graphics are, what the gameplay will be like and even some of Drake’s new items. Spoiler: It looks great so far! Now if the rest of Sony’s announcements could just be this good, we would be happy.

Earlier today Eidos Montreal revealed a few details for Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s Missing Link downloadable content. We already know that the DLC will take place on a freighter over the ocean and Adam has been captured, tortured and had his augmentations disabled. But Eidos revealed on their tumblrwho the man in the trailer is that is leading the group of Belltower soldiers.
His name is Pieter Burke and he is a high ranking operative in Belltower Associates. Also revealed was that the DLC will introduce 250 Achievmeent points to the game as well as 10 Trophies depending on what console you purchase it for. But the best thing for fans of the game, is that the DLC can be accessed directly from the main menu and you do not need to start your game over to access the content. There still has been no price announced for the content which will be released in October.
As with nearly every other Japanese developed game, Lollipop Chainsaw has received a new trailer in honor of Tokyo Game Show. The trailer shows off some new gameplay footage of Juliet beating down various zombies with both athletic moves as well as defeating them Mario style by jumping on their heads in continuous fashion.
Grasshopper Manufacture is developing the title for Japanese release on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and surprisingly, Warner Bros. is going to be localizing the game for release in North America. As seen in the trailer below, the game is going to be a brawler-style title where players take control of Juliet Starling a cheerleader who also hunts monsters.

Ridge Racer has always been about super crazy racing with sexy cars and great innovation. However, they may be changing it up in their next game. Namco Bandai recently unleashed a new trailer for their newest Ridge Racer gamer coming to the Playstation Vita. Promising a new “machine” (airplanes, submarines, motorcycles?) this trailer is mainly set in space, and it is quite bizarre. Maybe they are hinting that we will be racing space shuttles or rockets or something? Now that would be cool. I can imagine the title now: “Ridge Racer: The Edge of SPAAACE!” Hopefully we’ll get some concrete details on this title soon, because Ridge Racer has always held a special place in our game collections.

Communities of humanity have fled underground to escape radiation, strange monsters and other dangers. Unfortunately, there are always humans and governmental entities who wish to take advantage of others when the moment is right. Your task in the game: to survive and stop the atrocities. Check out the Metro Last Light Facebook page here.
Shuhei Yoshida, the head of Sony’s Worldwide Studios, announced one of the first apps that will be coming to the Playstation Vita. The Torne application will allow you to look up television listings, remotely set up recordings, and stream television. The bad news about this app? So far, it has only been revealed as a release for customers who buy a Vita in Japan, just like everything else that would have been totally rad. Lucky Japanese Vita owners will be able to get the Torne software when the Vita launches later this year.
