Walmart Manager, ” I have not personally sold a Vita in over a year”
In a recent interview with a Walmart Electronics Department Manager I have been made aware of some frightening information. The Manager, who wanted to remain anonymous, told me that he has not sold a Vita in over a year. He also said that the Vita is a very nice handheld, but he thinks people just prefer playing DS’s. When he said DS, I assumed he meant the Nintendo DS, since he was the Department Manager and all.

Is Sony Reliving Vita mistakes with the upcoming PS4?
Yesterday Sony, after a month of hype, announced the new PS4 is coming this year! To many Sony fans, this is the biggest announcement of their gaming lives! Many are ready to be first in line at the Sony booth to try out the new PS4 this June at the Electronic Gaming Expo.
But what is it that everyone is missing? When news sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. For example, the PlayStation Vita was going to be the second coming. An amazing launch line up, High powered specs, beautiful design, etc. But in the end the price of the System and accessories destroyed sales, and the games released after launch were lacking. Even a year later Sony is still trying to pick up the pieces and find out what they did wrong with the vita. At the recent Sony event, it was announced that the Vita would be able to stream PS4 games, in yet another late attempt to make the Vita look appealing to consumers. That is what the Vita has had to deal with because of its outrageous price!

Call of Duty on PS Vita: Lost potential
We wouldn’t go as far as to say the Vita is dead, it can bounce back, but it is undoubtedly struggling to find its form. Call of Duty, currently the biggest name in gaming, is coming to the Vita, and in theory COD Vita will be huge and prove to be a big help in turning the Vita’s poor form around.

Star Drone Extreme is a touch based space arcade game. Star Drone was released for the Vita and is probably most comparable to Super Stardust Delta though it is more governed as you play. Is this $4 addicting game worth the time?
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection review (PSV)
With the release of Metal Gear Solid HD for the Playstation 3 many of those who missed the PS2 outings finally have a chance to see what all the craze is about. Those who already played those get to re-play them in hi-def at 60 frames per second. The Metal Gear games always looked great on their respective consoles. Its safe to say those old PS2 graphics hold up well to today’s standards when plumped into an HD resolution. Just recently alongside the release of Gravity Rush, Konami released the Metal Gear Solid HD remake for the PlayStation Vita. As a high population knows by now the games are good. But how do the controls and style of the game translate to Vita? Read on to find out

SumiOni: Demon Arts Review
As Many of you should know, we at PS-analog have a love for artistic design. A couple of games come to mind when we think “a painting come to life”. Games like Okami and Valkyria Chronicles, and of course God of War III (according to Our friend Jaffe) had a hand drawn or brush painted type of look to it. With the release of SumiOni: Demon Arts exclusively for the Playstation Vita, we seem to have another game to add to that list.
