Welcome to winter. It's snowing in Fargo today and the northeast is about to get some of that white stuff too. But I hear Italy is lovely this time of year. Wouldn't you rather be seaside in some adorable little European villa? Picture it: Sitting in a small bistro, overlooking the sea, sipping something delicious...why, it's a little slice of paradise. Then you hear the WHUPWHUPWHUP of rotors overhead, and your exquisite view is obscured by smoke from a nearby grenade. Sorry, pal, you're not on vacation – you're in the thick of the conflict, because you're in Piazza, one of the two new <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3/">Modern Warfare 3</a> multiplayer maps that are reaching <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/11/08/call-of-duty-elite-ps3-walkthrough/">Call of Duty Elite</a> premium members today via the PlayStation Network.

Last week on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/the-tester/">The Tester 3</a>, we saw the gamers endure a rigorous challenge inspired by <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/uncharted-golden-abyss/">UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss</a>. Their ability to overcome a demanding obstacle course and quickly adapt was tested. Nolan North also came by the PlayStation Loft to show off his new PS Vita title, and an unexpected double elimination caught everybody by surprise. If you missed it, watch it right <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/shows-and-tv-series/thetester/episode/2012-thetester-episode-3.html">here</a>. This week, the fight literally begins with <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/street-fighter-x-tekken/">Street Fighter X Tekken</a>. Not only will we see head-to-head competition in the upcoming new game, but each gamer’s creativity will be tested when they must create new game characters and choreograph fight scenes for guest panelist, Capcom Special Combat Advisor, Seth Killian.

Primal grew from a warm, happy, and long-lost place where we were insanely fortunate enough to have an amazing team, an exciting new platform to build for (<a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps2/">PlayStation 2</a>!), and the freedom to make the game we wanted to make. Core influences were some of the awesome TV shows of the day: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Dark Angel to name the foremost. We wanted to build a game that captured the vibe of these shows whilst also showing off some of the cool technical and artistic things we thought we could achieve with the (then) new <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/ps2/">PS2</a>. The premise was a classic: pretty girl meets gargoyle, explores demon worlds, acquires demonic powers, and (spoiler!) has to kill her boyfriend to save the universe. We were lucky to hook up with our dream voice cast to bring these characters to life - Hudson Leick (best known from the Xena: Warrior Princess) and the fantastic and sadly missed Andreas Katsulas (whose work on Babylon 5 I so admired). Together they brought a truly unusual warmth to our main characters that stood out at the time, and remains quite special even to this day. More...

Wow, here we are! <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/modnation-racers-road-trip/">ModNation Racers: Road Trip</a> is out and the feedback from gamers who’ve played the game sounds like they are loving it. Personally, I must confess to being a little more than enamored with the game and my <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PlayStation Vita</a>; so much so that I couldn’t wait any longer to get my copy of the game. I actually purchased mine at retail a week early because… well, “I’m not only the Community Manager for ModNation Racers, but I’m also a clientâ€! lol. True, but lol. I honestly don’t think you can beat the gaming value found in <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psvita/games-and-media/psv-modnation-racers.html">ModNation Racers: Road Trip</a>. For $29.99 you have in your possession well over a lifetime of great, and most importantly, fun kart racing experiences. I could go on and on singing the game’s praises ad-nauseam (too late!) but no expensive, highfalutin, big city words can describe the experience until you have the game in your hands. In our ModNation Labs research we found the term “Wow!†came closest to an accurate description. More...

If you’ve picked up <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> then you’ve probably been too busy plowing through the dense launch line-up to have spent much time browsing the Settings menu.

Ice Cream Anyone? The longest running franchise in Playstation history is back! After a huge announcement at E3 2010 Twisted Metal has been on everybody’s radar and wish list since then but does it live up to the franchises name? Will it satisfy your “Sweet Tooth?†Read on to find out! Singleplayer: Your wish is granted! The Twisted Metal is greatly knows for its crazy characters and ridiculous (or in TM Black’s case dark) endings and has never disappointed with them and have always been in great quantity. They did it a bit differently in this game though. Instead of the usual pluthera of characters there are only three. Sweet Tooth, Mr.Grimm, and Doll Face. Instead of being able to pick whichever character you’d like it goes in that order. To make up for it though you can choose whatever vehicle you want in each level and unlocked more and more as you progressed in the game (Sweet Tooth’s icecream truck is still my favorite though). In each level you can choose three vehicles and if one is low on health you can run to a garage and change (or find Calypso’s mobile health truck to completely restore your health). Also instead of the usual carton cutscenes they are all in live action. One of my favorite additions. The biggest change in Twisted Metal’s single player is complete destructibility. All but the largest of buildings you can completely demolish by running through them. Nuking the Statue of Liberty was an awesome moment and something I never thought I’d do in a game. Like I said earlier you have to play the characters in a certain order and each characters levels are harder than the last. I don’t mind some difficulty but there’s a fine line between difficult and throwing your controller across the room and breaking it (one level made me do it and I don’t ever rage!). Bottom line the singeplayer had a lot of good parts but it didn’t have the heart of the last games. Multiplayer: This is where this game really shines. The online area in Twisted Metal has already shown massive potential. I don’t think this multiplayer will be the type people play for around a week then go to (insert mainstream shooter here). After the patch shortly after launch has fixed almost all network issues so you should have no trouble getting into a match. The AI in single player are fun to face but it’s even better going up against your friends and fellow Twisted Metal fans. The multiplayer has a nice set of game modes set across raked and non ranked matches this multiplayer will prove its worth within minutes of play. Earning experience also unlocks special rewards in ranked matches, such as unlocking new cars, sidearms, and skin packs. And if you play enough you can even unlock augmented techniques to employ in the match. When it comes to Twisted Metal I have few complaints but the controls throw you a steep learning curve because of how different they are from any other car combat game. The lock on system is also frustrating when you are in a high speed chase and it picks the wrong target by clicking the L3 button this causes a target switch which helps but it costs you valuable seconds in a battle. Also the faster cars like Crimson Fury and Reaper will not survive long in a multiplayer match. Even though they have super speed they have next to no armor. You may be able to keep them alive for a awhile but death comes quickly to these weaker vehicles. Bottom Line: Just like its predecessor 15 years ago Twisted Metal gives gamers fast paced crazy action that any gamer will have a blast with. It has an enjoyable singleplayer and incredible multiplayer. It only falters with its story telling, and annoying lock on system. Any game that lets you turn an ice cream truck into a giant ass kicking robot deserves some respect. 8.5/10 More...

The much anticipated launch of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> is finally here, and gamers can now get their hands on the most robust handheld platform ever to enter the gaming space. The introduction of new technology often brings a multitude of questions, and while several were answered in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/16/ps-vita-the-ultimate-faq/">PS Vita Ultimate FAQ</a>, we’re still getting additional questions related to the 3G feature set and how this “play anytime and anywhere†approach to gaming will change the way that we consume content and compete with friends via the PS Vita. Check out the following FAQ regarding the always connected 3G compatibilities of the PS Vita and how to best take advantage of the features it offers. <strong>1) How can I activate my 3G data service on my PS Vita?</strong> Activating the 3G data service doesn’t require going to an AT&T store or even being at a computer. From right on the PS Vita’s home screen, touch the icon entitled “Network Operator†to launch into the process. More...

So <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/02/22/playstation-vita-is-now-available-in-the-us/">PS Vita is officially out</a>! Many of you are probably holding it in your hands right now, basking in that “new system smell†and lovingly polishing that beautiful screen to a glossy sheen. I know I am! Still, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> is dauntingly new and different from what I’m used to as a gamer. The touchscreen and the rear touch pad are like strange creatures to one such as I, having played mostly <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psp/">PSP</a> titles since 2006. Even brief stints with other touchscreen devices couldn’t have hoped to prepare me for the subtle sensitivities and nuances of PS Vita – to say nothing of the way it harmoniously mixes its multi-touch functionality with traditional analog stick and button controls. As more and more PS Vita games utilize these unique features (and game designs get more and more complex and challenging in the process), learning to switch between analog controls and touchscreen actions on the fly, or learning when and how to get the most out of the rear touch pad, will become absolutely essential to your gaming survival.
