Same here. Started Hard and trying to find all the treasures but I'm still missing some. I'll need a guide.

my one gripe w/ Uncharted is the treasure system. there's like 300 treasures and no matter how hard i look in a given Chapter, i cant find them all. i just dont understand how im missing them. also, i missed a TON of treasures in the early chapters b/c i just didnt understand how to look for them or what they were exactly.

Aren't some obtained by doing certain things? I know I've also picked up some treasures from Near/Black market.

Theres some in cutscenes as well, you have to look for the flashing and tap on them with your finger while cutscene plays, missed a fair few that way.

Well, yesterday I went to my supplier.

Initially wanted to pick up Rayman Origins and Wipeout 2048.

He was out of stock for Wipeout.

I managed to pick up the last, that's right, last copy of Rayman. Wipeout will be available on 8th, same day as Mass Effect 3

Still haven't got the time to play it. But my friend is coming by in an hour or so, so I'll try it out, and share my thoughts

I just bought Little Deviants from PSN. I played the demo and really liked it, certainly different to the other games I've played.

I like how the trial games are locked full versions like the apps and games on Windows Phone.

Only some of them are full games and requires the 100kb unlock download.

Curious to hear what you think. About to play some more myself now, although part of me is thinking of finally checking out Hot Shots Golf, I just am hesitant to have so many games going at once, as I will never finish any of them.

Rayman is definitely the one you should try first ! But hot shots golf is good too.

Kiss a bunch of your time good bye if you start playing HSG! :laugh: I played it like 5 days straight without touching anything else.

In fact, I've pretty much just been playing my Vita since I got it a week and a half ago. I've neglected SWTOR and SSX because of it lol. I just got Rayman and Uncharted in the mail, so I'm excited to dig in to those 2 games. I started the first few levels of Rayman and I'm having a good time. Will start Uncharted later tonight since my wife wants to watch me play.

Oh no doubt, I have started Rayman actually, been playing it for a good few nights. Loving it. I already know I will like, more likely than not love, HSG, as I have liked all of the earlier ones, so that is my game I go to when there is nothing left to play, if I ever reach that point, as I now have Unit 13 and MLB the Show 12 coming from Gamefly.

:laugh: Same here with neglecting everything else. I checked out SSX on Saturday, and just wind up not digging it that much and picking up the Vita. It is absolutely right now my go-to gaming device.

And would like to chime in I decided to check out the Mod Nation Racers demo since I downloaded it the other night. Truly a stinker and I see why it is getting such bad reviews. Atrocious frame rates at times. It is a prime example of a game that was created just for launch IMHO.

Anyone else experiencing Game Goods in Near saying they have a long expiration time than they actually do? Before I had something from Hustle Kings that said an expiration date of 10 days, went to download it and it gave me the no longer available message. It is about the 4th time it has happened out of at least 20+ times or so. So it is not a common occurrence but it has happened. Literally every time I start up the Vita I have at least 3 new game goods. I swear I have to have every song on the Stardust soundtrack twice by now.

As time goes on, I get more impressed with the Vita. I truly do. It really has done exactly what I was hoping it would for my situation, and that is offer me more gaming time. I put a headphone in one ear, watch TV with my wife, and all is good. :shiftyninja: :rofl:

Okay, spend some time playing Rayman.

First off, this thing is a beauty. Seriously. I mean, this game has everything a platformer must have. Fantastic gameplay, one of THE best art design I have seen in the games, the awesome animation which is smooth and silky, an awesome sound track and .... much more.

This game is seriously awesome. Anyone who has a Vita owes it to himself to try this out.

The level design is great too. It gets challenging as you progress, and will give you some real tough times at some points.

Anybody played it in Co-Op mode? I heard its great fun.

Another friend of mine is getting his Vita tomorrow. I'll check it out too.

Oh and whats the player limit on Co-Op? 2 or 4?

Oh and did I mention that it is hilarious too?

Many a times, I found myself laughing out loud. (Y)

Does CO-OP mode exist for the Vita version? I thought they took it out.

Unlike the console version, Rayman Origins on the PS Vita has no co-op mode, which is strange given the handheld is more than capable of supporting multiplayer.

Players will have to make do with a ghost mode which allows them a chance to obtain timed achievements.

Cons

  • Doesn't use the full potential of the PS Vita, especially with the touchscreen component.
  • Co-op removed from PS Vita version.

Bottom Line

Fans of good old-fashioned 2D side-scroll platformers will appreciate Rayman Origins in their PS Vita games collection. The title looks and feels great on the new Sony portable console although a lack of co-op multiplayer is a bit of a disappointment.

So I have rented Unit 13 and MLB The Show 12 for my Vita. Have started checking out Unit 13, and I like it much, much better than the Vita. Takes a minute to get into the controls, but once one does they are actually pretty good. It is basically a Vita version of SOCOM actually. Run N Gun gets you killed real fast. So have to be pretty tactical. It is by no means a great game, but it does provide a nice little diversion. So much so I may decide to Keep It Now. Just have so many games to still play.

Will check out The Show over the weekend probably.

Funny thing is that I picked up MLB The Show for Vita, but I don't have a Vita yet... I hear it's good (if you're a baseball fan). Sony was doing a $20 off deal if you buy the PS3 and Vita versions together. Couldn't resist. Now I just have to buy a Vita.

The PS3 version is really good.

Gonna check out Unit 13 soon. The damn demo made my Vita crash, have you had any issues with the proper retail version?

BTW I added you on PSN but you haven't accepted or declined. Just thought I'd let you know in case you missed it.

I got both and have only tried the Vita version so far. I'm enjoying playing RttS. Graphics aren't the greatest but gameplay is pretty awesome.

Super Stardust is a must buy I would say (my favorite twin stick shooter). For 10 bucks it's a great game and if you like score chasers then this will definitely be a game you'd enjoy (they do have a demo for it as well if you want to try it out).

By the way anyone who plays SSD feel free to add me, it's probably the game I play the most right now as I do a fair bit at work. :shiftyninja:

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
