 In Japan, Hatsune Miku Project Diva F is a big enough game to command its own Vita hardware bundle, featuring a special-edition console and everything. In North America, it's something I randomly happened upon in Sony's E3 2012 booth, completely unheralded and unexplained. This difference in status makes sense, given that it's a music game about, starring, and featuring music by a virtual anime idol with a synthesized voice. In Japanese.
Called simply "Hatsune Miku" in its demo station, the game has you hit X and O in response to on-screen prompts (X and O icons flying into them), along with timed touchscreen swipes and directional presses, while Miku dances around on the screen. You're graded on the timing of each hit, and if you miss, it pops up as "WORST" which hurts pretty bad, guys.
The song I played was called "Catfood." Did I mention that I was surprised to see this in North America? There was no release info, or really anything. Just a demo unit sitting there.

The European version of Sony’s PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection has been detailed by SCEE.
As revealed at Sony’s E3 presentation last night, PS+ has been revamped with a significant amount of extra content on offer to those who sing up to Sony’s annual £40 subscription service.
As of tomorrow (Wednesday June 6th) subscribers will be able to access ten full games free of charge. Three of the list will change each month, with a minimum of ten available at any one time. That’s two fewer than US gamers are set to receive.
The debut offerings will be Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Chime Super Deluxe, Darksiders, Renegade Ops, Outland and Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD.
In addition, three Sony titles – InFamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, Motorstorm Apocalypse – will be available for the next 12 months.
On top of that there will be a PS+ Game of the Month each month, with Sega’s Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown claiming the June spot.
Exclusive to European PS+ subscribers will be an additional scheme called PlayStation Plus Presents, which will each month offer a free indie title. This kicks off with shooter Retro/Grade later this summer.
A total of over 45 games will be offered within the first 12 months – beating the numbers promised by Sony America.

Sony has announced at E3 2012 that a DLC update will enable PS3 players of LittleBigPlanet 2 to control the game using a PS Vita.
Announced on stage moments ago by SCEA president Jack Tretton, the 'cross-controller' DLC will let players use the Vita's front and rear touch capabilities on their PS3 in singleplayer, and enable simultaneous multiplayer on PS3 and Vita. It will also add a new story mode, costumes, stickers and decorations.
Sony also confirmed that SuperBot's Smash Bros-style fighting game, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, will also be released for Vita, and will support cross-platform multiplayer with the PS3 version.

Following an introduction from Sony's Andrew House at the company's E3 2012 conference, a slightly bemused Dave Ranyard came on stage to talk about his team's latest project, Wonderbook.
"Welcome to the reinvention of the story book," he said, just after commenting on how surprised he was that Sony had managed to keep it a secret until now.
Wonderbook uses PlayStation Move to augment the traditional story book with interactivity and on-screen effects.
Placed in front of the PlayStation Eye camera, Wonderbook uses the AR techniques we're now familiar with to bring books to life, but does so with a little more panache than usual.
Sony couldn't have chosen a more fitting writer than J.K. Rowling to demonstrate its ambitions for the technology, and the Harry Potter author'sBook Of Spellswill be the first title to be published.
As you might imagine, the book teaches players various spells from the Harry Potter universe with the PlayStation Move controller acting as a wand.
The demonstration showed the Incendio spell being learned, the book being set on fire by an escaped dragon. The player can blow out the flames by waving their hands, before wiping soot from the pages.
Although not explicitly mentioned, it sounds like David Tennant is the narrator, too.

Every June, Nyko outs all sorts of gaming peripherals at E3, and this year is no different. It's latest is the ambidextrous Free Fighter arcade-style joystick for PS3 that can be set up for either left- or right-handed gamers. It can be further customized to suit button-mashers of all styles with two variable-speed turbo keys and four programmable macros to let you perform complex combos with a single press. Plus, every button's backlit, and the whole thing comes with a detachable, expandable base to keep it from sliding around in your lap while you're hurling hadoukens and slinging sonic booms. It'll hit store shelves in September with $180 price tag, but if you can't wait until then, check the gallery of press pics below and stay tuned for our hands-on from the E3 show floor.

Taiwanese OEM joins Sony's PlayStation Certified licence programme.
The move has been rumoured for a few months now, and a short statement from HTC has made it official.
For Sony, this is a minor breakthrough as the firm has been keen to expand the range of Playstation compatible devices away from just its own handsets.
Sony (then Sony Ericsson) launched the The Xperia Play in spring 2011 as its first PlayStation phone. The device features PlayStation-branded buttons, a flip-screen and links to the PlayStation Suite platform, which allows gamers to download PSone and Android software.
"HTC is focused on delivering innovative mobile experiences for people everywhere and SCE's immersive world of gaming will bring compelling entertainment to HTC One customers across the globe," said Kouji Kodera, chief product officer of HTC.
In another corporate re-think, Sony will rename PlayStation Suite to PlayStation Mobile and seek to accelerate the expansion of PlayStation Certified devices further.

No longer will Digital Reality's purty shmup Sine Mora be confined to Xbox Live Arcade. Sine Mora will debut on PS Vita "soon," along with a new character (Wilhelmine Muller) from cult Japanese studio G.rev – the studio responsible for shmups such as Border Down, Strania and Under Defeat.
There aren't many other details right now regarding the PS Vita port – we've no idea how "soon" the PS Vita version will launch, along with changes beyond the new character, "new special weapon and new chronomes."

Ubisoft Toronto is working on Splinter Cell: Blacklist, shown in a dramatic trailer at the Xbox 360 conference. In the trailer, Sam Fisher (voiced by a new, non-Michael Ironside actor) infiltrates a desert warzone; this time, he's taking out a terrorist organization called the "Blacklist."
Kinect functionality is featured, allowing you, as Sam, to yell at dudes to distract them (and your family). You can also command troops, to call an airstrike, for example.
Spy vs. Mercs competitive multiplayer returns, and there's a cooperative mode as well. The game is due spring 2013.
Update: Ubisoft has released the first details on Splinter Cell: Blacklist, announcing the sixth console title in the series will hit the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
Sam Fisher's return marks the first production from Ubisoft's new Toronto-based team, with support from Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Shanghai.
In the game, "a group of rogue nations have had enough of the United States' military presence in their countries. In an effort to force the withdrawal of the U.S. forces, they mastermind 'The Blacklist,' a countdown of escalating terrorist attacks on U.S. assets."
Update 2: The role of Sam Fisher will no longer be played by Michael Ironside,EW reports. The part will now be played by Eric Johnson, who will be lending both his voice and body to the title as Ubisoft will be employing performance capture technology to implement his acting into the game.

Grand Theft Auto V will be released in October, if information from a lead artist working on the game is correct.
OXM reports that a CV revealing the date was posted on Grand Theft Auto fansite GTANetwork, which was taken down completely shortly after.
The conclusion arrived at by the internet, of course, is that Rockstar stepped in in a damage limitation move.
Analysts recently pointed out that Take-Two’s financial predictions for the current fiscal year would not add-up without the release of GTA V before the end of March 2013, though a Q1 release next year was predicted.

Ubisoft will release Assassin's Creed Liberation, a standalone adventure starring a brand new protagonist, for PlayStation Vita on the same day Assassin's Creed III hits shelves.
The game appears for the first time in the latest issue of Game Informer, details of which have been posted on NeoGaf. Set in New Orleans, Liberation is being developed by Ubisoft Sofia and stars a female, Afro-French assassin named Aveline.
This seems, then, to be a genuine departure from the main series. While Game Informer's preview apparently says that the game features "true Assassin's Creed gameplay," this will be the first game in the series not to feature Desmond. Bad news for Nolan North, then, but a nice change for the rest of us.
Expect more to be revealed during Ubisoft's E3 conference, which you can watch live here on Edge Online and kicks off at 11pm BST tonight.

'It is difficult to see a market with a critical mass of players such as Vita' says Cevat Yerli
Crytek will not be developing games for the Nintendo Wii U or PS Vita, the company’s CEO has claimed.
Speaking to German site Golem, Cevat Yerli said the Crysis developer currently had no plans to develop titles for the consoles, although users of its CryEngine platform may create titles for the systems.
He claimed that whilst the Vita was technically an appealing system for developers, he felt that it had come to the market “slightly too late”.
“For the Wii U, there will be games which run with the CryEngine, but that come from licensees,” said Yerli.
“The PlayStation Vita is currently too uncertain to us as a platform. Technically I find the Vita very appealing, you have fun with it, no question.

Assuming all that gaming, Facebooking and Tweeting isn't enough action for your PS Vita, Sony announced tonight it will get a YouTube app by the end of the month. Considering the built in web browser doesn't handle HTML5 or Flash video, native apps are still necessary to fill out its video streaming lineup. The company's US blog hasn't posted any pics yet, but Engadget Japan has a few screen grabs of what it will look like. Check after the break for another pic, while we wonder what other surprises Sony has planned in the run up to E3 2012.

In the interest of keeping cool this summer, we've put together a list of the hottest products out right now. From smartphones to e-readers and everything in between, there's no time like the present to re-up that post-spring-cleaning stash. So grab a popsicle or a cold one and dive in -- the water's just right.
 The summer months are home to one of the most bittersweet events in gaming: the Electronic Entertainment Expo. E3 flaunts the year's biggest news in video games, exciting players with peeks at upcoming titles, glimpses of new consoles and soul-crushingly distant release dates. Need something to kill time with? We can help. Sony andMicrosoft may not be unveiling next-generation hardware at this year's expo, but there are still a few things you can do to put yourself on the bleeding edge without a console. If you simply can't live without dedicated gaming hardware, however, you still have some options -- though you'll have to wait until the fall or beyond to get your hot little hands on Nintendo's upcoming Wii U. Read on, and we'll see what we can do about subduing your post-E3 anxiety.

NVIDIA GTX 690
Looking for something to lord over the competition at your next LAN party? Try the GTX 690, NVIDIA's flagship Kepler graphics card. The epitome of overkill, this $999 beast features two chunks of silicone based on the firm's latest GPU architecture, giving users the benefits of running a dual-card, SLI configuration with a smaller energy footprint. Too rich for your blood? Take a look at the $499 GTX 680 and $399 GTX 670 to melt your eyes without liquefying your assets.
Price: $1,000 at Newegg |

Sony PlayStation Vita
If you're looking for the latest in console gaming, the PlayStation Vita is your ticket -- not to mention the industry's most powerful handheld to date. Dual-analog controls, a vivid, 5-inch OLED touchscreen and killer handheld graphics put the portable in a class of its own. Watch out for that battery life, though -- three hours isn't going to get you through even one state in that big cross-country road trip you were planning. If you're itching for a successor to the home consoles the Vita hopes to emulate, however, you'll need to wait for E3 and beyond. Until then, viva la Vita.
Price: $240 at Amazon |

MSI GT70 / high-end gaming laptops
It may not be sporting NVIDIA's aforementioned Kepler silicone, but the MSI GT70 is still a heck of a gaming beast, flaunting an Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz processor, a luxurious 17.3-inch screen, an NVIDIA GTX 670M mobile GPU and one of the best keyboard and touchpad combos we've ever used. It's not the only game in town either -- PC manufacturers are building a new generation of gaming portables, from lightweight rigs like the Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3, to oversized behemoths like MSI's latest number. Sure, you may miss out on the geek cred of building your own gaming setup, but there's something to be said for the portability of a laptop.
Price: $2,000 at Newegg |

Sony isn't about to let Nintendo and PC games get a leg up on it in the downloadable content (DLC) arena. That's why the company's European arm (which also runs the show in Australia and New Zealand) is taking its digital wares to GameStop, where customers will be able to use cash, gift cards or trade credits to purchase activation codes for PlayStation Network games and add-ons. All told, some 1,600 stores in Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland will soon be offering the ability to purchase content usually ordered from the comfort of your couch and Crash Bandicoot boxer shorts. The complete PR awaits you after the break.

Sony's PS3 Wireless Stereo Headset made a splash when it landed last year, but there were two inescapable quirks: a lack of bass and a lack of any wired fallback for your other devices. The brand-new Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset Elite Edition should solve both. Its earcups now carry a new trick, BassImpact, that reportedly delivers the headset's eponymous pulses and just that bit more punch at low frequencies. We also can't help but appreciate having a 3.5mm headphone jack (and cable) to plug in anXperia S or, if you're daring, a device that goes without Sony's logo. The noise-cancelling microphones and the overall headset are considerably subtler as part of the remake, to boot. Gamers will have to go without the Pulse-upgraded headset until the fall -- not to mention pay a higher price, at $150 -- but they can get a video overview after the break to bide their time.
