Today is the ‘PS Vita, available at Amazon UK this bundle is seriously the best offer for the console we’ve seen, and here’s why:
You can get the PS Vita (Wi-fi) for £179.95, or the Wi-fi+3G version for £209.99 plus a game for £15 and FREE 4GB memory card!
The games include:
Fifa Football

So the bundles are:
PS Vita Wi-fi + Game and 4GB card – £194.95
PS Vita Wi-fi + 3G + Game and 4GB card – £224.99
This is a complete steal of a buy, and it is unlikely that you will find an offer like this for the console anywhere else as good as this. You can pay in excess of £200 just for the console, where here you can pick up the Wi-fi version, 4GB card and game for less than £195, now that is a deal not to miss!
The Rayman Legends trailer, that we leaked only a few days ago, has now been confirmed by Ubisoft as a sequel to Rayman Origins.
The game should be coming out around the Wii U period, maybe late 2012, and will offer itself on a wide range of consoles, and also will offer a multi-player experience, in which the first game did not.
Check out the trailer and our other post on this below!

Pokemon Black and White 2 will be making it’s way to Japan in the coming months, hitting shelves there in Autumn, and we’re still waiting for a Europe and America release date.
But reports have been coming in reporting an October release for B&W 2, and Europe usually follows or even recieves it earlier. This picture from Game show’s an October 2nd release for the two games, which is only less than 6 months away!
Everyone loves it when popular and amazing games receive a remake by their developers. We’ve had Ocarina of Time remake to the 3DS, soon to have a Pokemon Black and White Remake/Sequel, and now one of the origional Xbox’s and PS2′s biggest title, SSX, has finally his the Xbox 360 and PS3!
Incase you’re not familiar with the SSX franchise, it’s a typical Snowboarding game, developed by EA. Where you travel though some of the worlds best landscapes and and mountains, and try and beat opponents, preform stunning tricks, and also earn medals for your troubles.
The controls work really well together, there’s not many controls needed to play the game, so EA decided to allow most of the other buttons (Shapes for PS3, Colours for Xbox) allow you to preform various tricks, with the A(Xbox) and X(PS3) buttons making the player jump, these work very well together, however some practice is needed to figure out how all the tricks work with each other, and how you can earn more points, but you do have a practice as soon as you load the game for the first time.
There are multiple ways to play this game, you can either race across the globe, which is the main event on this game, you compete with other people on races, and if you get a high enough score, other courses are unlocked, and you progress futher. However my favourite mode is going across all the areas, and trying to obtain the different bronze, silver and gold medals, which can provide a challenge at times, but can get really frustrating trying to obtain these, as most of the achievements needed require you to obtain thise medals, so good luck!
The multilayer aspects work well too, the multiplayer pass which EA give you free if you buy the game new, allow you to race with other people across the globe, and also compete with other people to try and obtain the highest score on an event, if you do however pick up this game used, the EA pass is a must, and it’s unlikely you’ll revieve an unused pass, and if I remember rightly, it’s around 800MSPs on the Xbox Marketplace, so do invest into that!
All in all, we think EA provided us with a really good remake, it does have it’s bad points, and some players will find it hard diving in to this game, however, I think this game is a great way to jump into the SSX franchise, and that I hope EA import this onto devices such as the PS Vita, and also future consoles aswell!
Officially TechSquared – Our Rating 9/10
So some people have the PS Vita in America, by ordering the pre-order edition in the US, with a bundle including a 4GB micro sd card, case and a game, for around $349, 3G version. But otherwise, if we do want to just get the the Vita, with a choice of out own game, instead of the one that comes with the vita, we’ll have to wait until February 22nd unfortunately
But again, we’re just saying now, we won’t be picking one up until the price comes down, or it gets nearer the festive period, when the price becomes even lower anyway. But we are very excited for some of the games like Uncharted: Golden Abyss and of course, one of my favourite games, Rayman Origins. It would be fun to try out that game with the 5″ OLED screen, and the rear touchpad.
So, only 3 days to go for us until the 22nd of February! You pre-ordered yours? Or you going to take the same stratergy as the 3DS, and wait for a price drop?

Earlier, I picked up Batman: Arkham City for the Xbox 360, I’m really enjoying the concept of the story, and I love the graphics the game has to offer. So, the storyline…
The main character in the story is of course, Batman. Who has powers which help you a lot throughout the game, including being able to attack enemies, and also the ability to grip on to objects, like buildings and helicopters. This feature is very fun to use, but can sometimes be a little difficult to control.
The game comes in a heap of editions to choose from. Of course, there’s the normal edition. But the slightly more expensive editions goes as followed. There’s the exclusive Robin edition (Game & Gamestation), the exclusive Joker edition (Tesco) and the version I picked up, the exclusive Penguin edition (Blockbuster), versions featuring Catwoman and Two-Faced have also been released, but are not exclusive. There’s also the more expensive collectors edition, which comes with an artbook, statue and more. The Robin, Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Two-Faced editions come with a steelbook case, featuring the character of your edition on the back, and a picture of Batman on the front. The editions are all the same otherwise.
The game itself is very amusing, and the game gives you a lot of stuff for you to do, including sidequests, objectives and side missions later on in the game. The game also uses stunning HD graphics, and in my opinion is one of the best looking games on the market right now.
However, the game does contain it’s floors. For example, we find that the game can seem a bit dark, not because it’s a Batman game, obviously it’s going to be dark. What we mean is the game can be a little hard to see. Which can sometimes ruin the game, and also make the graphics look worse than they really are.
We’re not saying run out and get this game, it is an extraordinary game. But we find that this game isn’t full marks. We hope that the next Batman can pick up the pieces, and hopefully it won’t be long until we see the next Batman hitting our shelves. 8.5/10

Everyone knows Intel, probably the biggest computer processor company in the world. They’ve been powering our PCs and Macs for years now, and we still don’t look back on trusting them to provide us with excellent quality machines. But now, it will not be too soon before Intel will be powering our smartphones.
At CES, we’ve heard that Intel will soon be powering Motorola and Lenovo’s future smartphones. So instead of having your mobile powered by Skyrocket or Snapdragon. You could see your phone powered by Intel, and we cannot wait to see how fast Intel can make these processors.
That also leaves the question, could we see anymore announcements at CES 2012 about smartphones? Will Motorola or Lenovo release a smartphone at CES, packed in with Intel?
