Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Sony Europe promising massive UK Vita launch

Sony needs to hit the ground running with the Vita, having seen the launch stall in Japan quite dramatically. So, the company is promising a massive campaign for the hardware and software, running all over 2012 to hype and promote the new gadget.

Sony's recent advertising has been pretty hot with sponsorship of key movie channels and decent adverts. As long as it doesn't get sucked into the smartphone-led wanky-lifestyle adverts, it should do fine. Stores too should be pimping the console like the second coming, having had appalling sales over Christmas, with HMV the latest to fail miserably. They'll also want people buying physical copies of the game, rather than running home and grabbing those slightly cheaper downloads.

Again, so far, the device remains uncracked, keeping the spectre of piracy at bay - long may that continue!
