Left and right on the back pad, or the touchscreen, I forget which. Touchscreen, I think. Back pad is for L/R3, I reckon.

I should have let Zaphod answer shouldn't I. I don't know, something on the front or back. It's a touch thing anyway; touching somewhere on the Vita where you're supposed to touch it. But not in a creepy way. I mean, don't stroke it, just like bang your finger on it. Fingerbang, if you will. No, no, not finger bang. Anyway, I'll let Zaphod clear it up.

i think Sat liked Kick n Fenix

6. Kick and Fennick - Vita - I've said it all over the place, but this is such a surprising delight. A genuinely novel and new 2D platformer. Game of the Year contender. I'll be wittering about this all year. Fantastic. As I said in the PS+ thread, there is something really primal and entertaining about parabolas. Must be evolution getting us to enjoy chucking rocks at mammoths. Or the use of urinals. Or something. But whatever the reason, a 2D platformer based on the recoil from a sniper rifle sending you flying in beautiful parabolas across the map is just superbly enjoyable to play. Binged and completed it over 3 days. Didn't outstay it's welcome, and bar a tiny dip in the middle where there is too much of a focus on timing puzzles, it fires on all cylinders throughout.

Wipeout is good, if you like that sort of thing.

Paul Daniels was good on it.

He is quite the math genius, too and a decent coder. He had a hand in creating the forerunner to quick acess computer memory, and SSDs using a daemon to swiftly retrieve data: The Wizbit.

New game from the Drinkbox team (Guacamelee) - available April 26th

I love their art style but releasing on the Vita assures that it'll be a huge flop. I hope it doesn't tank the developers because I'd love for them to do well.

true. Weird that they've not gone for iOS. Not that I'm complaining. Vita needs more good stuff.

Thans. Glad i could refrain myself. Tomorrow long trainride to Maastricht. Perfect timing.

Update to the latest firmware, and go to this website on your Vita browser, and you got Vita homebrew.

My Vita deserves more love than it gets (tbf so does my 3DS but my gf has that at the moment). I think I've just gone off portable gaming - I don't even play games on my phone anymore.

This morning, somewhere between Gatwick and East Croydon, I was actually in Canada blundering through an alien abduction. Nigella Lawson's sniper got herself killed on the first move by climbing atop a train carriage and making a sitting-yet-sultry duck of herself (forcing a reload. I know I know, but she was my only sniper).

Then Mark Ruffalo went carousing through that same carriage into what I thought was cover but turned out to be a prime position for a sectoid to knock six health off him. Having lost Ross Kemp, Fern Britten and Alexis Petridis in the two prior missions, I was keen to keep casulaties low so I kept Mark back and hunkered him down. A more sensibly positioned Nigella was able to pick off his assailant and the little dude who was brain-docking with him.

Louise Wener was charging forth with her shotty to grab the Meld, supported by Princess Diana. Now we had the Meld, we just needed to clear up the aliens, but couldn't find them anywhere. Suddenly, two came from behind us, where poor old Mark Ruffalo was marooned on his own. Luckily, and awesomely, Mark Ruffalo took one of the aliens down with Overwatch while everyone else dashed back to support. But before they could get there, Mark Ruffalo took down the other alien with a very long range and speculative round of machine gun fire.

Which is definitely the best thing I've done on a train.

I don't know if this Plus version is a little harder, but I'm finding the aliens more aggressive than on other versions. I am only playing on Normal because I am a wuss.

This isn't the dreams and nightmares thread.

Steamworld Heist has been getting a good airing during my commute, although I've hit an annoying difficulty spike.

Which bots are your preferred companions? Payday and Beatriz seem to be my regulars, though I feel bad for leaving my buddy seabrass at home so often. He's now too many levels down, as is the red neck bot, whose kill shot could be a valuable perk if I'd known about it earlier.

I favour mobility and fast killing, so Sally (for Kill Shot), Payroll (for speeeeed), often Piper for Inspire/heal (but I don't often give her sniper weapons), Ivanski (for heavy weapon support and tanking when I fuck up my party movement.)

As someone who'll be spending almost thirty hours on planes in the next three weeks, this interests me.

Don't know if you tried Neon Chrome, a ps plus freebie recently. Just started it and seems to be a very enjoyable rogue game. Cyberpunk setting, excellent synthy sound track.

I have. I initially hated it because it's one of the Vita games that uses too much RAM, so you can't go into Settings without quitting the game. But then Bose fixed the bug on my headphones that meant I had to toggle Bluetooth on and off before I could get sound, so now I think I can play it again.

This is totally a multi-format game, but sounds ideally suited to the Vita:
