Spring has sprung a Rayman redone!
Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc HD was announced a little over two months ago. The series has seen a slight revival with the release of Rayman Origins in November and Ubisoft is going to capitalize on that release with this HD remake. Rayman 3 HD now has a release date and it's March 21, 2012.

As I made my way through the game's default Director Mode, I experienced 18 mini-game toys that were all completely unique in their construction.

Could Monster Hunter be just what the Vita needs?
It’s hard to say that the Japanese PlayStation Vita launch has been a resounding success. Slow sales have many gamers proclaiming the handheld’s demise even before it is launched in North America and Europe next month. Even with near abysmal sales, PlayStation France CEO Philippe Cardon doesn’t believe there is anything to worry about, saying that the Japanese launch only lacked a special something that will be coming later this year: Monster Hunter.
