It appears the cat may be out of the bag a little early, as Sony has announced that eight different PlayStation 2 classics will be re-released for the PlayStation 4 today. The news, which could have been being saved for today’s PlayStation Experience panel, was leaked earlier in the week.
The list of PS2 classics which will be available today, which can be seen below, cover a handful of genres. Each of the classics will run between $10 – $15, which is a little more expensive than the PS1 classics were for the PlayStation 3.
Dark Cloud — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto III — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — $14.99 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — $14.99 Rogue Galaxy — $14.99 The Mark Of Kri — $14.99 Twisted Metal: Black — $9.99 War of the Monsters — $9.99
While some may scoff at the price, these aren’t just straight ports. All of the titles has been upscaled to 1080p, and come packed with features such as Trophies, Share Play,...

Sony's Vita may not have been the storming success it had hoped, but it's full of games waiting to be discovered, as Jake explains...
Sony's PlayStation Vita recently turned three years old in the west. Despite being comparable in strength to a PlayStation 3, it still lives in the shadow of Nintendo's 3Ds and numerous smart devices.
The initial high price of the hardware and memory storage, coupled with a lack of Aaa exclusives at its launch, put a dent in its sales which the Vita never really recovered from. Touted as a full console experience at the start, the Vita has since morphed into something a little more unusual and more interesting.
Although Sony have said there's little chance of any new major releases, there's a bit more to this system than a yearly Assassin's Creed title. Here, we take a look at the most compelling reasons to purchase a Vita!

The Revival of Classic 2-D Action Games
One of the less appreciated benefits of the ubiquitous online connections in the current generation of consoles is that it has helped to resuscitate some types of classic gameplay that had all but vanished over the prior two console generations.
Growing up as a gamer, when I wasn’t playing RPG’s or strategy games–which I wasn’t playing very often, since I didn’t have a PC and this was the pre-Final Fantasy VII Dark Age of Console RPGs, when it was something of an event for one to actually get an American release–I was playing 2-D action games like Ninja Gaiden and Contra or shoot ’em ups like Gradius and Sky Shark , or, a few years later, Axelay or Space Megaforce. (Or D-Force, when I was sufficiently bored and desperate to play something that even my preadolescent self could tell was godawful.
