[RoboticMonk3y]

I have toukiden.
I think I need to finish off that before I pick up another monster grinder on the vita.
It looks good though, up to 8 players sounds great!

[adwild1982]

That's why I went for it that and the fact it's £20

I think with Isaac, it's a special case as the game's official release date is tomorrow.

edit: Or not. The official blog states 5th Nov. Ho-hum, I guess i'll be playing the PC version first, then!

Dammit I meant to bring my Vita to work today to play Binding Of Isaac on my break >_< Anyone know if the store update is live yet? I might go home and get it

[dezm0nd]

Nothing yet, sadly.

[Indiana747]

Usually 4 or 5 oclock before it updates for me, so nothing yet.

I picked up the Sega Megadrive Collection for Vita (PSP) in the sale a couple of weeks ago. I already own the PS3 version but it gets very little play time, I thought having it on handheld would be perfect. How very bloody disappointing!! The PS3 version is awesome, has all the Streets Of Rage Games, which are nowhere to be seen on the PSP one! I didn't realise there were less games on the handheld version. I haven't investigated it properly so I'm not sure what else is missing, but I'm feeling a little cheated really!!

That PSP game is an older release than the Ultimate Collection that was released for 360/PS3. It was originally a PS2 and PSP title circa 2006/7:

I picked up that PSP collection for under £3 in a sale and it's worth that but to be honest, the emulation isn't the best. Though improved, nor is it on the 360/PS3 Ultimate Collection - especially the PS3 version which is slooowww.

In my experience the finest way to play the Streets of Rage trilogy today is by far this XBLA compilation, from the brilliant M2:

Just got home and downloading this month's games. Looking forward to Binding of Isaac. Is it co-op at all?

[adwild1982]

Has any one checked out little king story before? Looks interesting

[ratsoalbion]

It was a PS+ title at one stage but I haven't touched it. The original Wii version is brilliant but by all accounts the Vita version is very different and not nearly as good.

Took a punt on it for £10 sounds like it has some interesting ideas. RPG and city management happy days
