It's memories, robberies, and underground monstrosities for PlayStation Plus subscribers next month, with February's line-up featuring Remember Me,Payday 2, and Metro: Last Light. As for Vita, it's the cutesy karts of Modnation Racers: Road Trip, and the less cutesy cross-beats of Street Fighter X Tekken.
No, Plus hasn't forgotten about the PS4, silly billy. Sony's newest console is getting asylum horror Outlast on Plusnext month, but we already knew that. The real question is when: PlayStation UK's website says next week on February 5, so going by PSN traditions that'd mean a February 4 showing in North America. We'll find out for sure soon enough.
Looking at the PS3 games specifically, we'd recommend checking out the"suffocating despair" of shooter sequel Metro: Last Light - no really, it's fun! - and the heist-em-up capers of Payday 2 if you haven't already have. As forRemember Me? Well, if you like neo-action games full of neo-jargon, then sure - but maybe read Ludwig's neo-review first.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch reminds me of "," an old series of short cartoons that used to air during Warner Bros' Animaniacs. The premise was ridiculous: Boo was a giant chicken that pretended to be human. He disguised himself as everything from a superhero to a respected Civil War general, and the punchline was always the same: Everyone around him, even his close friends, finally discovered he was a chicken.
Octodad employs a similar (though funnier) gag, telling the story of a typical suburban father determined to live his typical suburban life while hiding his greatest secret: He's an octopus. Like an episode of Chicken Boo, Octodad is brief and, for the same reasons as the cartoon, that's probably for the best, because you can only rely on the same gag for so long before it ceases to be funny.
And Octodadis funny. The very sight of a yellow octopus, its tentacles stuffed into a sky blue suit, is worth a chuckle on its own, and the humor is only compounded as the boneless curiosity wobbles across the ground, attempting to perform everyday tasks like mowing the lawn or shopping for groceries. It's at these moments when Octodad is at its greatest, as your desperate, flailing attempt to make a cup of coffee results in the near destruction of your kitchen.
But Octodad isn't a cartoon, and it's only when more traditional game elements are injected – boss fights, failure – that it starts to drag.

 Though the screen in the Vita Slim is LCD, it will not feature a drastic decline in picture quality from the undeniably rich and vibrant OLED screen found in the original Vita, according to Sony UK managing director Fergal Gara.
"When we introduced Vita with the OLED screen that was considered - and it was - the pinnacle of screen technology," Gara told VG247. "It was a beautiful screen and LCD at the time would have felt like a compromise."
"What's happened in the interim is LCD screen technology has improved significantly," he added. "Whilst some think there's a subtle difference between the two, we think it's relatively imperceptible." Gara then goes on to explain that the new LCD screen allows Sony to build a smaller, lighter Vita while maintaining its processing power and battery life - a feat not possible with the attractive, but more power-hungry OLED display.
Gara echoed these sentiments in an interview with Eurogamer. "[The LCD screen is] giving bigger advantages than disadvantages - it's helping with the battery life, with the thickness. We think they are bigger wins than any subtle - if any - reduction in visual quality."
As we reported earlier today, the Vita Slim is slated for release in the UK on February 7. The updated handheld has been available in Japan since October, but there is no word yet on when or if it will make its way to North America.

Catalogue retailer Argos posted its best Christmas results in a decade with the help of video games.
The retailer called out gaming – in particular Xbox One and PS4 – for helping it increase like-for-like sales by 3.6 per cent. Sales of tablets and white goods also improved significantly.
The firm has become a significant player in games, and its 737 stores means Argos is now the UK’s biggest games retailer on the High Street.
Towards the end of last year it was picked by Sony and Microsoft to help stranded customers that had pre-ordered Xbox One and PS4 consoles from now defunct retailer Blockbuster.
The firm also launched a special video games mini-catalogue at the end of last year, and has been aggressive in its console bundles and pricing. This week it hit the headlines for cutting the price of Wii U to £180.

Messaging from UK retailer ShopTo has all but confirmed a Western release for the new slimline PS Vita-2000.
Currently only on sale in Japan, the PS Vita-2000 will be made available for pre-order in UK from Thursday, January 30, according to an email blast (pictured below) sent to ShopTo customers on Wednesday. The ad did not specify an actual release date.
This comes just ahead of a Sony press conference taking place on Thursday, at which the firm has strongly hinted it will formally announce the slim Vita for Europe.
 While Sony didn't specifically say what the press event was about, an invite sent to CVG offered a not-so-subtle hint; "Following the biggest launch in PlayStation history, join us for an introduction to the slimmest," it read.
So far the platform holder has made no mention of a North American release.
Sony originally revealed the PS Vita 2000 in September last year. Launched first in Japan on October 10 priced at 19,929 yen (£128 / $200 USD), the Wi-Fi handheld is 20 per cent thinner (15mm) and 20 per cent lighter (219g) than the original Vita.
The redesign boasts a high definition five inch LCD display, rather than the current Vita's OLED screen. It has a built-in 1GB memory card, while Sony says battery life has been extended by around one hour, now offering up to six hours of gameplay and seven hours of video playback.

Stylish top-down f***-'em-up Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is now due in Q3 2014, the developer announced on Twitter. Hopefully the Q3 release means more people will get my Halloween costume. (I'm the pig.)
"New stuff, old stuff, weird stuff and violent stuff all converging with some surprises," the developer added. "Should be worth the wait."It's unclear if the Q3 release is just in reference to the PC/Steam version - as the first game debuted on - or if it will simultaneously hit on its other announced platforms: Mac, PS4 and Vita. I've requested more info from developer Dennaton Games and will update when I hear more.The sequel will play similarly to the original and will follow multiple characters including a pig-headed (well, masked) actor starring in a film about the first Hotline Miami, while a group of Mansonite-esque fans have taken to the gruesome hobby of recreating the psychedelic ultra-violence of its predecessor. It will also feature a Hard Mode for that special type of animal mask wearing masochist."The first game from eccentric Swedish developer Jonatan Söderström and Dennis Wedin at Dennaton Games was an exploration of neon rage whereas Wrong Number will be fueled by an extra layer of sadness," I wrote in my Hotline Miami 2 previewafter seeing the game at E3 - where it was shown in an actual trailer tucked away in a parking lot.

Dynasty Warriors developer Omega Force's highly anticipated monster hunting Vita affair Toukiden: The Age of Demons will launch in Europe on 14th February, but in the meantime publisher Tecmo Koei has released a comprehensive 10 hour demo.
As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, this gargantuan sampler will cover the first chapter and a half of the action epic that follows a team of monster hunters protecting the world from large, cool-looking oni. The demo will grant players access to all six of the game's weapon types, equipment and upgrades, and character customisation options.Like Monster Hunter before it, Toukiden will allow up to four-player online co-op and this demo contains seven of these team-based missions.Given how long the demo is, it's worth noting that all progress from it will carry over into the main game. About the only thing that can't be transferred into the main game are trophies - which are disabled in the demo - and player settings. The demo also only contains one save slot, whereas the full game will have three. But everything else will migrate just fine upon Toukiden's release next month.

Color plays a big part in the vivid world of Borderlands 2, particularly in its loot system, so it makes sense Gearbox is adding a colorblind mode to its shooter. In an extensive post that goes into what colorblindness is and what can be done to help players who suffer with it, programmer Jeff Broome said the mode is coming to all platforms, with more info on its release "in the near future."
Like many loot-heavy games, Borderlands 2 uses colors to distinguish the rarity of the items spread across its wasteland. That color shines out from loot in a beam, and it features on their descriptions in the title. For colorblind players, distinguishing those different colors from one another is problematic, so Gearbox is modifying them to make them more identifiable, as well as denoting the color in text on the descriptions.
It's a shame it wasn't there when the game shipped - it it had, Gearbox would've been able to apply i to just one side of a split-screen, rather than the whole screen. Still, it's good it is being added, and that Gearbox has gone to the lengths of letting players specify different types of colorblindness; when toggling the mode, players can select Deuteranopia, Prtoanopia, or Tritanopia.

DICE is thanking fans for sticking with Battlefield 4 through its launch mess with an entire month devoted to players. Starting on February 1, DICE will dole out special community missions and initiate daily giveaways throughout the month.
Every day players log into Battlefield 4 in February, they'll receive a Bronze (weekdays) or Silver (weekends) level Battlepack, which provide random XP boosts and camouflage skins. Two shortcut bundles, which immediately unlock all grenade types and handguns, will also be made available during February at no cost; however, Battlefield 4 Premium owners will get two additional shortcut bundles that unlock all DMRs and shotguns. Finally, at some point in February, DICE will turn on the XP faucet through a double XP weekend event.
DICE says it will continue to work toward improving the Battlefield 4experience. The developer is actively working to improve the game's netcode, which will hopefully result in a more fluid online experience, and promises to share more details on that at a later time.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will be available sometime between July and the end of September; the game's official Twitter account locked in a Q3 launch window today.
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number takes place before and after the events of the first game, which saw a nameless protagonist fulfilling murder requests left on his answering machine. The sequel ditches the 80s aesthetic of its predecessor for a more touchy-feely early 90s vibe – a large part of the game will be abouttouching characters' faces with baseball bats and feeling their life force drain away.
The first Hotline Miami launched in October 2012 to critical acclaim and commercial success. After making its debut on PC, the game was ported over to PS Vita and PS3 in February of last year, while a Mac version followed a month later. Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number will be available on PS4, PS Vita, PC, Linux and Mac OSX.

The PlayStation 3 version of Minecraft has sold over a million copies since release, Mojang has confirmed.
The company's business developer Daniel Kaplan posted a short news story on the Mojang website announcing the milestone.
 Given that the PlayStation 3 version of the game was released on December 17 in North America and December 18 in Europe, this means it reached the million sales mark in just its first five weeks on sale.
"Minecraft: PS3 Edition comes with everything present in other console versions," said Mojang's Owen Hill when the game originally launched. "They're pretty much identical to play, and will be developed in tandem from now on."
Downloadable skins and texture packs will be available on PSN shortly after the game launches, and while Hill did not confirm that PlayStation-exclusive content would be coming he did say it "would be cool", adding: "Fingers crossed, eh?"
Minecraft was announced for PS3, PS4 and Vita in August 2013. The company has said on Twitter that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game are further back in its development queue.
The Xbox One version of Minecraft was announced at E3 in June. Building off the 360 version, it promises "larger maps for more complex structures, expanded multiplayer features and enhanced gameplay".
In December it was announced that the PC version of Minecraft had sold 13 million copies, with the Xbox 360 version selling another 10 million.

The heavily hinted PlayStation 4 version of Everquest Next has finally been confirmed.
Speaking on a Reddit "ask me anything" thread, Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley was asked if the PlayStation 4 version was in development.
 "Yes, we will absolutely be bringing EQN to the PlayStation 4", he replied.
The statement marks the first unequivocal confirmation that the game is in development, following previous hints from Smedley.
In November, Smedley teased a journalist by refusing to confirm the game but hinting heavily that it was being planned.
"We haven't announced, technically, that we're putting it on PlayStation 4," the exec said at the time, "but it's fair to say that we're a Sony company so, you know, I say that with a smile on my face. I can't wait to see it on the PS4."
Originally announced last August, EverQuest Next is a free-to-play MMO that aims to evolve the genre with fully destructible environment physics that apply to "every piece of the world", more advanced AI and an open-ended storyline that will force the player to face the consequences of their actions and decisions.
SOE's free-to-play superhero game DC Universe Online launched alongside the PS4 in America, and is set to do the same in Europe when the PS4 is released on November 29. Meanwhile, the MMO first-person shooter Planetside 2 is expected to launch on PS4 in "Q1/Q2 2014".

Sony Online Entertainment has spouted a fountain of news. First and foremost, it's closing a quartet of old MMOs: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Wizardry Online, Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures.Not enough people play to justify the upkeep, broadly speaking. Apparently Vanguard had been running at a loss for "a long time" but SOE didn't have the heart to tell players. That's what company president John Smedley told people on Reddit (via VG247).He also said SOE was done with child-focused games like Free Realms. "No more kids games," he stated. "Kids don't spend well and it's very difficult to run a kids game. Turns out kids do mean stuff to each other a lot."Free Realms and Clone Wars Adventures close first at the end of March, and Vanguard and Wizardry close at the end of July.Then Smedley confirmed finally that, "Yes, we will absolutely be bringing EverQuest Next to the Playstation 4!" While talking about that big and promising new MMO, he also said "if you like [Ultima Online], you're going to love EQN", which sounds just fine to me.
He gave an updated estimate for Planetside 2 on PS4, stating that "first half of this year is what we're shooting for". "It's taking time to do this right but coming along great." The Player Studio tool should arrive in the UK in April, apparently.Smedley mentioned an unannounced MMO that SOE was working on which, although being "completely new IP", will be something Star Wars Galaxies players of old should pay particular attention to."SWG PLAYERS," he yelled, "OUR NEXT GAME (not announced yet) IS DEDICATED TO YOU. Once we launch it... you can come home now."Smedley teased a possible rejuvenation for Legends of Norrath, the EverQuest card game, a decision prompted by the popularity of Blizzard's Hearthstone."Actually after seeing what Blizzard did with Hearthstone it's given us some other ideas..." he teased. "LON is an awesome card game. We can take that to the next level."The revised one-subscription-for-everything All Access plan was also announced (FAQ). Pay $14.99 a month and get access to all SOE games, including the upcoming EverQuest Next and EverQuest Next Landmark. Existing subscribers will be automatically upgraded when everthing kicks off on 2nd April.Plenty of new things on the horizon, then, but there's also life left in iconic MMOs EverQuest 1 & 2, and new expansions are in the works. "I've just seen the content update plan for EQ," said Smedley. "We heard the players loud and clear that they want a bigger expansion next time, and they'll get it. We'll be making EQ and EQ2 expansions for a long time to come. "

DualShockers reports that Square Enix will also release a collector's edition, which will bundle content from previous PS3 and PC collector's editions with a Fat Chocobo Mount and a Wind-Up Moogle Minion. DualShockers notes that those who purchased A Realm Reborn's collector's editions on previous platforms will receive the new items for free.
While we didn't have have a specific date for A Realm Reborn's transition to PS4 until today, we already knew that the PS4 beta will begin on February 22. Those that started on PS3 can also try out the PS4 beta for free before deciding whether or not to double dip. Hopefully interested players can find a group they work with out of the 1.5 million accounts that have been registered for A Realm Reborn. And if not ... well, there's always Final Fantasy 15.

PlayStation UK is teasing a new ‘slim’ announcement for next week.
The invitation to a breakfast event set to take place at 9am on January 30th simply reads:
“Following the biggest launch in PlayStation history,
join us for an introduction to the slimmest.”
What could it mean? Well if we were guessing folk, and we are, we’d say it is the news of a UK release for the Slim PlayStation Vita, as released in Japan last year. The new PS Vita is 20 per cent thinner and 15 per cent lighter and replaces its nice OLED screen with a not-quite-as-nice-but-you-probably-won’t-notice LCD screen.
We’ll know for certain next week.

Sony has announced it will perform PlayStation Network maintenance on Monday, January 27, beginning at 9:30 AM Pacific (12:30 PM Eastern). The downtime is expected to run for six hours, until 3:30 PM Pacific (6:30 PM Eastern).
"If you've signed in to PlayStation Network any time since January 20th you will be able to play games online and access partner apps such as Netflix during this maintenance period," a forum post from PlayStation Senior Community Manager Paul Sullivan announced yesterday. The scheduled maintenance will disable access to the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and account management sections of PlayStation devices.
Sony suggests players log into the PlayStation Network prior to January 27 to ensure they can access their favorite online content. If your favorite online content includes running Battlefield 4issue-free, however, maybe throw a prayer to the gods of networking into the mix.

Our sister site Engadget got its hands on a PlayStation Vita TV, which acts as a middle-man for playing PS Vita games on your TV. The device also unlocks streaming of media to your TV through apps such as Hulu, albeit in a max resolution of 720p. PlayStation Vita TV is exclusive to Japan, but that didn't stop Engadget from importing one and whipping up a review of the $144 value pack version.
The Vita TV certainly fulfills a niche role, but the crux of the Engadget review is that while the product is quiet and unassuming, it doesn't do well to instill a need in users. If you really want to play PS VIta games on your TV with aDualShock 3 controller, then it's a rather expensive means to that end – and if the game uses touch controls, you've got even bigger problems.
The PlayStation Vita TV is easy to use thanks to the identical interface and software borrowed from the PS Vita itself, so PS Vita owners will find little difficulty making the transition. As it stands, however, there isn't much reason to consider that transition.
The PlayStation Vita TV is currently only available in Japan and, on its own, costs 10,000 yen ($96). Sony has not announced any plans to launch the Vita TV outside of Japan.
