As was originally hinted earlier this week, Sony have today announced the PlayStation Vita Slim will be making it's way westward. Don't open your wallet just yet - there's a few things that might raise a few eyebrows. It's good news, but it's definitely not all good news.

Kalypso has today announced that their huge strategy/management sim Tropico will be making the jump to PlayStation 4 in the near future. Tropico 5 has you control an island over hundreds of years, adapting your playing style as your people learn to want and need new things.

It's been an awfully long time since the first episode of The Wolf Among Us was released, and that' s not good for episodic content. I don't remember which decisions I've made or who the main characters are, but I do remember two things: telling Bufkin to 'eff' off, and that final shocking twist in the closing moments of the game. Well, despite the gap, Telltale today released a new trailer for The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2, and that it'll be available to ...

Sony today announced that Killzone: Shadow Fall has sold over two million units. Considering the amount of PS4s that have been shipped, that number is impressive to say the least, rivalling more or less anything on new-gen machines (and quite a bit from last gen as well). By comparison, the last Mario game sold roughly half as much on the Wii U, which has been out for well over a year.

There have been hits in the past that Microsoft might be looking to revisit Halo 2. November 2014 will be the tenth anniversary of the best-selling sequel, so some fans might be hoping that something happens, and that it lives up to their memory of that original Xbox game. A developer visiting Neogaf might just have outed the whole project, even down to the release date.

Titanfall is still a few months away from launch, but that doesn't mean that development has finished on it. There's a beta incoming, and that'll probably result in a bit of tweaking, and what's the chance of a major shooter coming out without a day-one patch to follow? That's not all the Titanfall staff are working on though. EA, via an earnings call to investors, have revealed that DLC is already being worked on by Respawn.

Hot on the heels of Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper is going to be making it into cinemas in 2016. The infamous gang of thieves will be starring in their very own state-of-the-art gorgeous feature film, probably involving a caper or two. You'll almost certainly want to take your kids to see Sly Cooper, especially since you'll secretly (or not so secretly) going for yourself anyway.

The PlayStation Now service is still an awfully long way out for EU users, who probably won't gain access to Cloud streaming until well into 2015. That point has been hit home even more today with Sony announcing PlayStation Now beta invites are being sent out to those lucky enough to have been selected.

There's a huge problem with episode gaming. It takes so damn long. It seems months ago that we were playing The Wolf Among Us, and even longer ago that we returned to Rapture with Burial At Sea. That's mostly because it was months ago, and so the return of Elizabeth via a brand new trailer is something to get very excited about.

An indie developer has spoken out on how beneficial having his game in the Steam Weeklong sale has been. Many developers have been quick in the past to post their surprise at just how much they can make by temporarily reducing the price of their game, but few have gotten excited about the Weeklong sale (which are being torn apart on sites like HotUkDeals).  Joe Wintergreen-Arthur, the director behind InFlux, posted to Twitter today about the success of having ...
