Has anybody here got a PS Vita. Just looking for some views on it? I've had the PSP Go but given you can get a Vita/game/memory card bundle for £200 i'm tempted to move up.

I'm not going to comment on AC3 as I haven't played it yet, but with regards to AC as a series I disagree it's the best there is. So far (obviously excluding AC3) there has only been one I would consider a great game, which is AC2. The original was more about the promise and potential of the idea but was actually pretty bad in execution, Brotherhood was a good game game, but fairly average as a follow up to AC2, and Revelations was pants.

I would personally put Uncharted, GTA, Zelda, and Prince of Persia all ahead of it as game series, and possibly God of War too. If Mass Effect 3 is anywhere near as good as 2 when I play it there's another as well.

AC isn't a patch on GTA, Gears, Uncharted or Halo which are IMO, the best games series.

Anybody played the Okami HD yet? Never played the original but always wished I did. Is it worth the money?

I haven't played HD, but thanks to hype I have bought the original 2 times now (ps2/wii) and i've never even reached the half way point.

Just bought fable 3 - £7.99 from zavvi, enjoyed fable 2 but read a lot of comments that 3 was a big step back so held off buying it until now. Also just realised I have had Fallout 3 sitting on my desk for about 2 years - still unopened!

Excellent game, remedy the situation.

Never been able to get into RPGs like Fable, Fallout and Oblivion etc.
I just find them really boring and tedious. Not sure I've got the patience to complete games with a 50 hour+ story.
GTA isn't far off as long as it gets for me.

Does that mean it's crap or what?

Honestly I think it's crap, but I am definitely in the minority so didn't want to come out and say it

Do you like Zelda?

Never played it. Only Nintendo thing I've ever owned was a Gameboy colour. Played on a few SNES, N64s and GameCubes, but never played on Zelda, just things like Pokemon, Goldeneye, Mario and Star Fox.
