Sony’s gamescom conference held many surprises but Japan Studio announcing two new games – Rain and Puppeteer – really seemed to have excited people.

The titles look so different to each other, so it’s a real testament to the creativity of the developers at Japan Studio.

Media Molecule, the team behind LittleBigPlanet, have announced their latest title, cute platformer Tearaway, as an exclusive to the PS Vita.

The hero is an unusual fellow named Iota who is a messenger from his world made out of paper. He wants to deliver a letter written specially for you and considering his head is an envelope, we imagine that’s where he will stow it away.

Electronic Arts has announced Battlefield 3: Premium Edition, as part of the publisher’s Gamescom press conference earlier today. Intended for new players, it will include a copy of the game plus a subscription to Battlefield Premium and a few extra goodies.

The PS3 and PS Vita have seen a handful of Cross Buy titles (purchase one version of a game, get the other for free) in the last few months, including MotorStorm RC and the recently released (and brilliant) Sound Shapes, but up until now they’ve all been relatively small PSN games, not full retail titles. Well, that’s all set to change later this year.

It really exists. Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified actually exists. We were told it was coming, long before PS Vita launched. But the secrecy surrounding this title left us in doubt.

Did Sony accidental tell us they secured a Call of Duty but forgot to check with Activision? Was that embarrassing logo moment at E3 just a cover, an attempt to secure more time?

Vita support for PSone Classics will be available with System Software Update v1.80, Sony announced today at their GamesCom press conference. In addition to Classics support, the new update will also add a few new features, supported files, and alterations that’ll make the Vita all the better.

EA has released the first trailer for upcoming third-person shooter Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel and, this is a total shot in the dark, it would seem as if something has gone terribly wrong in Mexico.

Killzone coming to Vita doesn’t surprise anybody but it’s still great to have Sony finally confirm it at gamescom.

The reveal trailer was heavily multiplayer based but there were also some story hints, as is obvious by the title, that show that the game will focus on mercenaries rather than playing from the perspective of the ISA and Helghast.

Sony have announced that Ratchet and Clank: Q-Force (or Full Frontal Assault in the US) will be coming to the PS Vita and, better yet, it will be a cross-buy title which means that if you buy it on PS3 or Vita, you will get the other version for free.

The release date for Dead Space 3 has been solidified with it still releasing in February but now we can confirm that NA will get it on 5 February 2013, whilst the UK and the rest of Northern Europe will see it on the 8 February.

EA and Visceral Games have also revealed a new feature for the game – weapon crafting.

Capcom has announced a free online stat-tracking system to release alongside Resident Evil 6 called ResidentEvil.net.

It will record your in-game stats such as your number of kills, deaths, headshots, accuracy, etc, and will offer rewards depending on how well you do.

Darksiders II opens with Death charging up a frozen keep on Despair, his fearsome steed, hacking the few enemies brave enough to get in his way. The next stage sees him running up and across walls, clinging to pillars, shimmying at speed across hand holds and taking out ice skeletons with ferocious combos. A boss battle soon follows, which is surprisingly more intense than what you’d normally expect at this early stage.

Remember Me, a new IP from French developer DONTNOD Entertainment, has been revealed by Capcom.

It is a third-person sci-fi game that follows protagonist Nilin as she travels through futuristic Neo-Paris, 2048.

Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening is considered the best game in the franchise by many so it comes as no surprise that Dante’s Yamato-wielding twin brother Vergil will be making an appearance in the upcoming DmC reboot.

Everyone’s favourite feline is joining the fight in Injustice: Gods Among Us – the latest fighting game from Mortal Kombat developers NetherRealm.

She will be utilising her trademark whip and claws as she strings together combos and we hope, for his sake, that she is on Batman’s side as there is nothing quite like a woman scorned.

Sound Shapes is a visceral side-scrolling platforming game combining a classic graphical appeal with the sounds of some of the most talented beat-making musicians. The result is one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences on the Vita. Read the PS3 Attitude review to find out what was the most frustrating mode in Sound Shapes?

We’d like to think that not all our spare time is consumed by banging away at a few rows of keys, but is also spent mashing the buttons of our DualShock 3s and Vitas. So why not share with you a little bit about the games that we have found the time to play amidst our busy summer schedules.

The President of Superbot Entertainment , Chan Park, has taken to the PlayStation Blog to announce that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been delayed by one month.

The team feel that this will allow them to release the game at a higher quality so that they can have the ultimate brawler this Winter.

If there is anything that is for sure, its exactly how dumb John Cleese will make you feel if you fail a challenge in Smart As, the upcoming grey matter trainer for PS Vita. Do you think you are smarter than John Cleese?
