This is huge for any PS Vita owners and even for future PS Vita owners because aside from getting free games on your PS3, there will also be a set of free games for the PS Vita. Aside from the games, Vita owners will also get 1GB of cloud storage for your saved games.
Here is the list of games for PS+ on the Vita: Uncharted: Golden Abyss Gravity Rush Wipeout 2048 Jet Set Radio Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!!!
Free games aside, the v2.00 Vita update will also allow you to access your Gmail and Yahoo! Mail accounts, enhanced web browsing features, Wi-Fi connectivity from your Vita to your PC, and custom touchscreen and rear touchpanel settings for your Vita. If you haven't subscribed to PlayStation Plus and own PS3 and/or PSVita, now is the perfect time to do so.

Grand Theft Auto V's second trailer
Rockstar just released a second trailer for Grand Theft Auto V. Finally more footage since I'm sure everybody is with me when I say "it's about freakin time!". Check the trailer below.
You can check out the first trailer over at Rockstar's official site, just in case you missed it. GTA V is expected for a spring 2013 release.
DmC demo hits PSN and Xbox Live next week
Can't wait to check out the reboot to Devil May Cry? Well the demo comes out next week on PSN and Xbox 360 so you should look out for that. To be exact, the demo will be out on November 20 for US and 21 for EU.
The demo will contain two missions, and one of them will be a boss fight. A couple of difficulty modes will be included, as well as some weapon upgrades for us to experience, and some sort of secret during the demo. I wonder what that means.
Still a bit skeptical with Ninja Theory in charge of the Devil May Cry reboot, so I'm definitely going to look out for this demo next week. I'm really crossing my fingers hoping that the gameplay will feel like past Devil May Cry games, and if it does in the end, then they can change Dante as much as they want.
DmC is still next year, or rather, a few months away. It comes out on January 15, 2013 on Playstation 3 , and Xbox 360.
Together with the news of the demo, Capcom added more info on the Vergil DLC that was announced recently. Yes, its free for those who pre-ordered the game, but it won't be released on 'day one'. For the people who don't want to pre-order but plan on getting it after, it will cost you $8.99/720 MSP.

Zombi U's multiplayer trailer
Zombi U, Ubisoft's zombie survival for the Wii U is coming out next week, and a new trailer for the game's multiplayer just hit the web. Play as a survivor and see how long you can last with a friend trying to kill you with the Wii U GamePad.
This has to be the best implementation of the Wii U GamePad's small screen so far. The multiplayer brings FPS and RTS gameplay together and it looks like this mode will create a lot of hilarious stories among friends.
Zombi U comes out next week November 18 exclusive to Nintendo's new console the Wii U. I'm not much of a day one console purchase kind of guy since starting lineups are usually not that impressive, but if I had to give a reason to why I want a Wii U, it's Zombi U and Nintendo Land... nah, just kidding. Just Zombi U.
