June Update: PlayStation 6 and PlayStation Portable future visions

 The recent PlayStation video about the "simulated" technology in development, discussed between AMD and Sony engineers that will power the PlayStation 6 was interesting from a geek point of view. But from a gameplay perspective, there is - IMO - no need for a PlayStation 6 for another few years.

Pure Chess coming to Vita today

The best looking chess game I've seen will be hitting PSN today. The game is developed by VooFoo and will be published by Ripstone and aims to reflect the beauty and depth of the widely respected game.

The title aims to appeal to a wide audience with various tutorials to allow beginners to take part, improve their chess skills and become a Grandmaster in their own right. Pure Chess is a classic strategy board game which is brought to life with stunning graphics and a series of interactive game modes. More here.

UPDATE: Just checked with the publisher's PR and you can buy the game on either PS3 or Vita and then play it on both devices. ANOTHER UPDATE - Or not, the developer says it is two distinct purchases... guess we'll find out soon enough.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
