'Pokemon Black 2' and 'Pokemon White 2' Officially Announced

Looks like we will be able to play the first true sequel in the Pokemon series this year. If you live in Japan, or are an importer/exporter like Art Vandelay, you'll be able to get your cheeto-covered hands on this DS title in June. If you don't fall into either of the above categories, you'll have to wait until... well, no one really knows.

All we know is that details will be emerging throughout the year.

Is this something anyone is actually excited for? 

Guide: 'Uncharted: Golden Abyss' Treasure Locations (Turquoise Glyphs)

There are 40 Turquoise Glyphs to be found in Uncharted: Golden Abyss. They are located within each chapter of the game, and can be extremely difficult at times.

Luckily for you I am logging every one of them that I find.

And trust me when I say that I am finding them all before I move on to the next chapter.

'Uncharted Golden Abyss' New Game+ Glitch May Ruin You

For those of you out there who flew through your first run of Uncharted Golden Abyss, beware - there's a New Game+ glitch that may just ruin your life.

Apparently after the game is over you have an option to start a new file or overwrite your old one with a more difficult setting. This is where things get sticky. If you choose to overwrite your old file, everything will be deleted.

Yes - including all your Treasures you so painfully searched for.

Facebook Vita App is Gone - Boo Hoo Hooooo the Eff Cares

The Playstation Vita is epic. It's absolutely wonderful in every possible way. "But does it have Facebook?" you ask. Yes and no.

You see, while the app was originally available in both Europe and North America, it has been recently pulled from the PSN Store. This is apparently a big deal to a lot of people, because why would you spend your time playing games on your games system, when you could waste spend time on Facebook.

I find it refreshing that Facebook is gone. Maybe this will prevent Zynga from infiltrating our PS Vita space.

'MLB 2k12' Demo Comes Home on Tuesday

Oh baseball season, how I love thee. Not just due to the fact that spring is right around the corner and baseball is the greatest sport ever, but because it marks the release of all baseball video games.

2k Games is releasing the demo for MLB 2k12 next week. It will be available on both Xbox360 and Playstation 3. It releases for reals on March 6th and will hopefully fill the time between this demo and the release of MLB 12: The Show that other game.

Fake Pokemon Yellow App Jumps to #2

If you're one of the thousands of individuals who saw Pokemon Yellow on the App Store, and purchased it, you're now part of a very angry mob. Turns out that the $.99 cent app is a fake. All it does is flash an image of the Yellow Pokemon case and then crash the app.

Was I one of those victims you ask? Yes. Yes I was. Or rather am. I don't know what it is, all I know is that I'm pissed.

Friends don't let friends buy fake Pokemon Yellow apps.

Guide: 10 'Twisted Metal' Tips to Help You Win

Twisted Metal is more than just a bunch of cars driving around blowing each other up. Okay, so it's really not much more than that actually - but it's much more difficult than it sounds.

Especially if you want to win.

Whether you play as Sweet Tooth, Mr. Grimm, or Juggernaut, these next 10 tips will help you destroy your opponents. Just remember that while I can teach essential skills, I will never be able to teach true talent.

'Call of Duty' Coming to Vita this Fall

Totally didn't see this one coming *insert sarcasm here*.

Guy Longworth, Sony's SVP of Marketing told Gametrailers in an interview that his kid's can't wait to play Call of Duty on the Playstation Vita this fall. He also mentioned that it's going to be an absolute "... gamechanger."

No one has heard exactly which title will be dropping onto the portable awesomeness, but rest assured there are going to be guns in it. Phew.

Review: Twisted Metal - Destruction Derby Perfected

I wasn't one of those kids that played every version of Twisted Metal. In fact, the only time that I can remember playing any of the past titles was at a friends' house in 7th grade and the game froze before our first match was over.
 
The reason I'll never forget that day is that it marked the first time I had ever heard my friend curse. The moment the game froze he screamed the words "Jesus f***ing Christ" as loud as he could. Needless to say he was immediately grounded and I was sent home wondering what had just happened.
 
Trust me this story is going somewhere.
