Sony's PlayStation Vita retains the familiar general form of the PlayStation Portable hardware series 
while dramatically improving on virtually every aspect of its use with powerful and exciting new features 
including: dual touch pads at the front and rear, dual cameras at the front and rear, dual analog 
sticks, a 5-inch OLED screen, GPS, six-axis motion sensors and a three-axis electronic compass and
 exceptional built-in connectivity via both Wi-Fi* and exclusive to this model, an always on
 3G connection.** Taken together this makes for a handheld gaming device that truly signals 
the entry of handhelds into the world of Next-Gen gaming.

Blur the Lines Between Entertainment and Reality.

PlayStation Vita is designed to blur the lines between interactive entertainment and reality in a 
variety of ways. Reaching beyond the capabilities of every handheld gaming console that has come
 before it, in this model of Vita players have access to both Wi-Fi and 3G functionality, allowing for
 maximum connectivity wherever you go. (An additional Vita model allows for Wi-Fi access only)
 Its 5-inch OLED front multi-touch display brings brilliant images to life and allows for a new touch 
driven navigational system, while the additional multi-touch pad on its back surface will allow users 
to interact with games and characters that they encounter within them with a simple movement of
 their fingertips. The real world and the game world are seamlessly merged with front and rear camera
 enabled augmented reality. Additionally, services created specifically for Vita will be available on 
PlayStation Network. These services are designed help users take their gameplay, as well as
 interaction with other gamers, to new levels.
Additional features include: dual analog stick controls, a 4 core CPU, system-specific flash card media 
support for game and media saves, mobile PlayStation trophy support, built-in three-axis gyroscope, 
three-axis accelerometer and GPs functionality.

Vita-specific PlayStation Network Functionality

"Near" is a core PlayStation Vita feature composed of location-based services, that utilize PlayStation
 Network. Near, developed specifically for this service and the network, will be pre-installed in the 
system to let users find out what their friends in the vicinity are playing now or what they were
 playing recently. Users can meet their friends and new players virtually, regardless of what games 
they are playing, simply by sharing their game information across different dimensions of time and 
distance.
Every game title for PlayStation Vita will be provided with a space called "LiveArea" where users can
 share the fun and excitement with other players. Users will have access to the latest information of 
games provided from SCE and third party developers and publishers through PlayStation Network. 
Additionally, Vita users will be able to view "Activity Log" which is constantly updated with 
accomplishments from users who are playing the same game, which in turn can trigger active real-time
 communication among users.

The Best in New and Classic Content

In addition to containing the best in new handheld gaming hardware technology, Sony's PlayStation
 Vita provides users with the best in quality content. All your favorite game franchises are coming to
 Vita, including but not limited to Uncharted in Uncharted Golden Abyss, LittleBigPlanet, Hot Shots Golf,
ModNation Racers, WipEout and many more -- including all new game launches -- yet to be announced. 
Joining these new offerings, players will also have full wireless access to the PlayStation Store. Here, 
via Vita's improved Wi-Fi capabilities, and/or new exciting 3G connectivity powered by AT&T, owners 
can download new game add-ons, movies, comics and PS One classics ported over for handheld play.
 PlayStation Vita also features full backwards compatibility (via download) to all PSP games. Together 
this powerful merging of hardware and software is destined to create entertainment experiences unlike 
anything else available in the handheld gaming market.

Alliance of Valiant Arms

Alliance of Valiant Arms Overview It seems that ijji is really trying hard to cash in on the MMOFPS craze as Alliance of Valiant Arms (AVA for short), is the third MMOFPS published by ijji. Even though there are already a boat-load of good MMOFPS games on the market, more and more game publishers are putting out their own shooting games. This wouldn’t be a bad thing if these games weren’t all remarkably similar. To be fair, though, even though AVA doesn’t exactly break away from the cookie-cutter tactical MMOFPS mold, it is an extremely polished and graphically impressive game that’s well worth playing. Great Fluid Gameplay Like most modern MMOFPS games, Alliance of Valiant arms looks and plays smoothly. After creating a character players will be asked if they wish to complete the game’s tutorial. Honestly though, anyone who’s ever played an MMOFPS game before won’t need this tutorial, but I recommend going through it anyway – it only takes five minutes and it’s
