New Games This Week: PS Vita and Twisted Metal

This week the gaming spotlight moves over to Sony as they release the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle and Twisted Metal for the PS3. Here’s a closer look at this week’s new game releases.

Tuesday Feb 14

Twisted Metal makes it’s long-awaited return to a home console after an 11 year hiatus. Developer Eat, Sleep, Play might be making headlines for recent studio layoffs and the soon departing David Jaffe but they’ve delivered a classic car combat experience.

UFC Undisputed 3 (360, PS3) offers gamers a chance to ground and pound your favorite UFC fighters into undispution!

Tales of the Abyss (3DS)
A 3DS remake of Namco’s 2005 RPG classic originally on the PS2.

Wednesday Feb 15

Today you get the chance to be an EARLY early adopter by grabbing the PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle which includes a WiFi/3G Vita along with Little Deviants, a 4GB Memory Card, and a carrying case. A one month pre-paid AT&T 3G voucher is also included.

Getting the Vita early wouldn’t do you much good if you didn’t have games to play on it so most of the launch lineup is also landing on store shelves. The obvious purchases for new owners will likely be Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, wipEout 2048, and Lumines: Electronic Symphony.
