If you're a fan of the cult favourite Persona series then you've probably been waiting very patiently for the much-anticipated Persona 4 fighter game, Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena (I know I have). A few days ago, Atlus released a very cryptic teaser email to its subscribers hinting at the game's stateside release and those rumours are now proving true. Today, Atlus announced plans to localize the game for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, under the title Persona 4 Arena.

Resident Evil 6 is out on November 20th, which means that Capcom can't really have a slow drip-drip-drip of information but more needs a constant stream... and so it has began, and even their mum yelling at them they're wasting water isn't going to get them to turn the tap off. Um, not that they're streaming water, but information, which you can't really waste.

Unless you were one of the people who ordered a PS Vita "First Edition" Bundle, you actually don't have a PS Vita in your hands right now (and even if you did order it, you might not, literally, have a PS Vita in your hands while you read this, unless you're reading this on a PS Vita, which seems totally possible.) However, even with the handheld not being officially released until the 22nd of February (next Wednesday) you can buy pretty much the system's entire launch slate already. Ubisoft got in touch with us to let us know all about the games they've put on the system that you can buy right now, so we're going to spotlight those. Other video games from other publishers are available!

Nostalgic video games certainly have a way of pulling at heartstrings. A game doesn't necessarilly need to be considered retro in order for it to be nostalgic. As long as you share a sentimental bond, lingering memories of that time can re-emerge in some of the most amazing ways. Here's a 20-minute behind-the-scenes video remembering the original Jak and Daxter games and delving into the development behind the newly released Jak and Daxter Collection.

A new cinematic trailer for Far Cry 3 has now been officially released, the latest trailer to emerge since its debut at E3 last June. While the trailer doesn't include any new gameplay footage, it does feature more than our fair share of beautiful CGI graphics (it's amazing how realistic video games have now become) and dubstep music (not sure how I feel about this one). Check it out below:

Skyrim! Or to give it its proper title, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Of the people I know, it's actually the game they're all still playing the most, with nothing else having quite managed to drag them away from it. And to be honest I'm starting to worry that nothing will pull them away from it, with Bethesda having recently launched the Skyrim Creation Kit.

Tech enthusiasts have been lighting up news pages of Google for weeks and now the day before the official North American launch of the one of the most anticipated Android devices ever, the Samsung Galaxy Note. I first discovered a love for the device at CES 2012, and am enjoying reading the positives reviews...
When I wrote my predictions for 2012, I'll be honest - I pulled them out of my .. um, well I pulled them out of thin air. That said, I did say Infographics would explode, RIM would be in trouble, and IPOswould be big. I'll take 3/3 on those.
When a company like Deloitte comes out and makes predictions, they do a little more research.

There have been a lot of titles released for the iOS platforms that, you know, should make us feel like it's a "serious" games platform. Something that's absolutely on the level with the DS, the PSP... maybe even the 3DS and the upcoming Vita. Titles like Infinity Blade, let's say. But for some reason I can't ever quite buy the narrative, and you know, I play tons of games on my iPod touch! Maybe it's that lack of buttons thing. I just can't see it. But... you know... Capcom releasing Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, really not that long after it was released on Nintendo DS, well, there's something to be said for that.

Yep, you read that right. Kinect! For Windows! Except... well, not quite yet for consumers, but there's a lot of promise in today's announcement that "any business" can now develop applications for Kinect in Windows. I mean... it could revolutionize human-computer interaction, right?
