Capcom Introduces New Ways to Play Resident Evil.
Resident Evil has been an important series in gaming for a long time now. Games like Resident Evil 2 and 4 were revolutionary landmarks in survival horror and third person gameplay. Despite its lineage of quality titles, the series has been often criticized for its departure from survival horror and its venture into more of an action oriented style. Resident Evil 6 aims to combine the best of both its past horror-focused outings and the action-oriented gameplay of its more recent titles.
Co-op with your PlayStation Move Controller.
For everyone with Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3, another pack of DLC will arrive later this year. Utilizing the PlayStation Move, the new pack of DLC, titled Back in Motion, will include missions optimized for the aforementioned controller. The content had previously only been enabled for use with the Razer Hydra peripheral on the PC.

While rumored for a few weeks at this point, Sony made official last night that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be coming to Vita alongside its console counterpart. Like many games available on both platforms, the two will be interoperable in a few interesting ways.
Sony's latest will debut with a special book/game from JK Rowling.
During last night's Sony presentation, the company lifted the veil on their latest work, Wonderbook.

The Wonderbook appears to be a platform of sorts as it will host a variety of different books, first and most notably, Book of Spells from JK Rowling.
Batman and Robin's latest outing answers some questions, and raises even more.
Batman: Arkham City was arguably one of last year's best games. Not only did it provide a ton of fan-service for Batman fanatics, but it also was a fantastic game, providing a great story, addictive combat, and brilliant production values. One of the most memorable parts of the game, for better or worse is how it ended. Harley Quinn's Revenge deals with the shocking conclusion to Arkham City, and its effect on not only Harley, but the Caped Crusader himself.
This review contains some spoilers of the ending to Batman: Arkham City. You have been warned!
