This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks. December deals : Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details . PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK (another £10 off for refurbs) Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale). Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!) First up is Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

Its a riot of Vita game reviews in this week's Famitsu, and while Watch Dogs might get the top award, Sony's latest big monster hunting hope Freedom Wars is only a point behind. Other Vita games do pretty well too, including the promising Robotics;Notes Elite visual novel, while the PSP continues to pop out games with the relatively indie Black Code, also a visual novel.
The big loser is Panzer Girls, which despite acres of preview content and heavy marketing does not quite live up to expectations, although every trailer I've seen seemed to have gaping concept and execution holes in it. At least, I guess, this proves Famitsu can't be brought (all of the time).
With most of these games out in a couple of weeks, will it be enough to propel Vita sales back to rude health? Or will Freedom Wars prove another short-lived hit for Sony? On the plus side, at least we're getting it in the west!
Watch Dogs (PS4/PS3/360) – 9/9/9/9
Freedom Wars (PSV) – 8/9/9/9 (Sci-Fi Monster Hunting)
Robotics;Notes Elite (PSV) – 7/7/7/9 (Visual Novel)
Aiyoku no Eustia: Angel’s Blessing (PSV) – 7/8/7/7 (Visual Novel)
Black Code (PSP) – 7/7/7/7 (Visual Novel)
Cross Channel: For All People (PSV) – 7/7/7/7 (Adult Visual Novel)
Panzer Girls (PSV) – 6/6/6/5 (Action)
