The latest in the Lumines series brings light gameplay enhancements and gorgeous visuals.
Given the overwhelming success of Lumines on the PSP, as well as all of its subsequent releases on other platforms, it's not particularly surprising to see a new edition of the title on the PlayStation Vita at launch. Little has changed since the first rendition of the game, but Lumines: Electronic Symphony still packs quite a punch thanks to the sharp visual fidelity of the Vita and the well-tailored soundtrack.
Vita sales and Pokémon sequels are featured in PB & Jason's 77th issue!
How many sevens does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Seven! Don't worry. That's the only seven-related joke in PB & Jason 77. In fact, seven isn't really a factor in this week's PB & Jason at all!

Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios knocks this one out of the park.
It’s hard not be struck by deja vu while playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, as it’s an amalgamation of every major Western RPG of the last five years. The art style and vibrant color palette are heavily inspired by World of Warcraft, the loot system rivals that of Borderlands, and the character development is an interesting Dragon Age: Origins/Fable hybrid. While Reckoning is quite liberal in its search for muses, it expands beyond many of them to forge a unique identity. Reckoning is to the games it borrows from, as baseball is to itself from 40 years ago; the concepts are basically the same, but everything is on steroids, making it far more enjoyable.
