The PlayStation Recap – What We’re Reading

Home, sweet home. After a week of free-flowing Kölsch and pork chops thicker than my neck, I’m glad to be back in sunny San Francisco, catching up on all the news from Gamescom.

Two bits that seemed to make people happy this week: PS4 launches in North America on November 15th, and all PS Vita models are now $199!

Man, how about all those new game trailers? I am so ready for some N++! Other highlights for me: Resogun, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, the new inFAMOUS Second Son trailer, Wasteland Kings, Hotline Miami 2, Volume, and Borderlands 2 on PS Vita.
