Hands On With the PlayStation Vita
This year’s EuroGamer Expo will be remembered for years to come as the expo with the most AAA content. Of the 70 games on show around 90% of them were day one buys.

Wanderson75.net was lucky enough to get hands on the Vita and put it through its paces. Here’s what we thought. Read On »
Crimson Alliance DLC Slashing its Way to XBLA this October!
Certain Affinity is releasing a new DLC pack for their Summer of Arcade’s finale dungeon-crawler, Crimson Alliance, on October 12th!
According to Max Hoberman, President of Certain Affinity, “From the start we wanted to keep the adventure going by giving players new places to explore with their friends. When we finished the game back in May we had a few months to wait before the Summer of Arcade was over. So we devoted ourselves to building the kind of maps that we wanted to play: fiendishly difficult ones that are perfect for co-op.”

2011 Eurogamer Expo Day 1 Wrap
Wow, what a day! Between the chance to play with Sony’s PlayStation Vita and OnLive giving away their console for free (yes, for free!) to the lucky early-birds, it was a blockbuster opening to this year’s EuroGamer Expo!
Of course, we headed to the games straightaway. We got the chance to sit down and play with some of the biggest games of the Christmas period, with titles including Final Fantasy XIII-2, Rift, Skyrim, Battlefield, Sonic Generations, Forza 4 (just to name a few!). Keep tuned in to Wanderson75.net for a more in-depth look at these games.
We also had the privilege to finally sit down with OnLive’s cloud gaming service and got the chance to see the system working on tablet devices. Needless to say, it looks to be a fantastic system that is fluid and lag free. It offers the chance to play games on the move, at console standard, with no chop to speak of. We’ll be taking an in-depth look at OnLive soon!
There are so many games on offer here and we haven’t even looked at the indie games show, retro games, careers fair, and everything else that is available at EuroGamer 2011. The next few days promises to be busy! So keep yours eyes on Wanderson75.net for more news and views on the games and consoles that you will want to buy over the coming months.
In the meantime, take a look at these photos (we’ve got more coming!), and if you’re in the area and have the opportunity to get down to the Expo, you really, really should!
