Big releases for Sony's PlayStation Vita handheld have been few and far between, and as a fan of the system it came as big news that Soul Sacrifice was putting up solid sales numbers in Japan, and that its release there resulted in the Vita outselling the Nintendo 3DS in the Japanese market for the first time since its launch last year.

One of the biggest complaints about the PlayStation Vita is the lack of titles that have any real substance.

Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer told Polygon at the Xbox One reveal event that a Rare-developed franchise may be announced at E3 in June.

Not to be confused with Mega Man 10 , Mega Man X introduced players to new mechanics such as dashing, wall-jumping, and finding hidden upgrades throughout the levels, something which would carry on and become an essential part of each X game to follow.

Complete with high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience, the fear that was originally brought to players in Resident Evil Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS system returns redefined for home consoles.

Meanwhile, EA announced that those who pre-order the game will receive the Battlefield 4 China Rising Digital Expansion Pack at no extra cost.

The debate around video game violence and whether it leads to actual violence has once again come to the fore this year since the Obama administration asked for funding to study the matter.

This week may belong to the Microsoft and its impending reveal of the next generation Xbox tomorrow , but we'll still be treated to a few interesting and meaty game releases over the next few days with horror, colourful adventures and gunslinging to partake in.

Some of the best games in history feature a deep and rewarding inventory system and The Last of Us looks set to elevate the gameplay practices of scavenging and crafting to new heights.

I'm currently playing through Metro: Last Light and just like the original, the game is dripping with so much atmosphere, you'll need a special bucket known as the atmosphere of collecting to hold it all.

The fear that was originally brought to players in Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS returns redefined for home consoles complete with high quality HD visuals, enhanced lighting effects and an immersive sound experience.

Nintendo has detailed this week's eShop releases, with highlights including the digital releases of Resident Evil: Revelations and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D .

The image begins with the original Xbox, launched in 2001, with two rare special editions, translucent green and crystal edition, that were released in 2003 and 2004, respectively.

We often talk about how games purpose-built to be played on a television lose something in translation when ported to handheld, but the reverse can be true, too.

The original soundtrack for Mega Man 5 is now available for $8.95 on Capcom's official shop ; it's almost as if they planned its release to coincide with the debut of Mega Man 5 on the 3DS Virtual Console.

The upcoming console/PC iteration of Resident Evil: Revelations will include a trio of confusing new costumes for Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield and Keith Lumley, Capcom has announced .

JP Kellams, creative producer at developer PlatinumGames, confirmed the news on Twitter but declined to offer more information.

If you have a PlayStation 3 retail copy of the game you can download the Vita version to your PS3 and transfer it to your Vita by accessing the "Disc Benefits" option from 22nd May.

And, as you can see above and below, it really does look that damn good. If you don't know, this is the next game from Naughty Dog, creators of Crash Bandicoot , J ak & Daxter and Uncharted .

To mark the high-definition release of the Resident Evil Revelations video game, Capcom will be opening a "blood-filled" swimming pool near the Olympic stadium in London.
