Just a few weeks ago, we were picking over Gran Turismo 6 rumors, and now here we are with our very first preview. I was surprised to walk into a hands-on opportunity just one day after the title was officially announced. Surprised and pleased.
It may not have been the PlayStation 4 launch game I was hoping for, but it's never really a bad time for more Gran Turismo.
E3 will be here before we know it. Can you feel the excitement in the air? Ever since February -- well, long before then, if we're being honest about it -- we have been eager to see what Sony's new console looks like. Here it is! Whatever you do, don't blink.
Sony will (fully) unveil the PlayStation 4 during its E3 press conference on June 10 at 6:00pm Pacific. Unless someone were to leak images ahead of time. What are the odds that'll happen?
It's safe to say that Nintendo is in a comfortable spot when it comes to first party development and funding. But Wario is not content with Nintendo's handling of the situation, and has launched his own "Crowdfarter" parody site, counting down the release of his new game Game & Wario .
It's a cute site that asks you to tweet or post about the project, with funny stretch goals like a digital "I crowdfarted!" badge for getting 5 bajillion coins. I like that Nintendo has a sense of humor about the whole thing, and hopefully that humor will translate into the full release next month.

Europeans have a lot to look forward to today, as Kirby's Dream Course (one of my favorite Kirby games) and Kirby Super Star (one of the best platformers of all time) headline the Wii U Virtual Console. If you own Kirby's Adventure on the Wii U eShop (which you should, as it was €0.30 / £0.30), you can net both games for the discounted price of €5.59 / £3.79 each until May 30th. Personally, I'm loving this new franchise discount system they started last week with Super Mario Bros. 2 and hope they continue it. Resident Evil Revelations and LEGO Batman 2 are also coming to the Wii U by way of full retail downloads on May 24th.
The 3DS is getting some new content with Swords and Soldiers 3D (beware, I hear bad news about this port), as well as Air Battle Hockey 3D and Groove Heaven. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars 3D are available as full downloads if digital is your thing. Denpa Men: They Came By Wave is discounted to until May 30th, and Project X Zone gets a demo, as well as Rabbids Rumble.
Sony has released a video teasing PS4′s final form factor, just as its rival Microsoft is set to reveal its next Xbox for the first time. You can watch the very brief, very blurry footage below.
The final frame is a reminder of Sony’s E3 conference date and time – June 10 2013 at 6pm PDT.

Last week, I got to preview a bunch of current-gen games, which we can expect to see during E3, at a special pre-show event that entailed several different game companies. The Sony showcase in particular had a handful of games that are now on my radar, such as The Last of Us , Luftrausers, and Doki-Doki Universe .
But out of everything I saw, Media Molecule's Tearaway was by far my favorite game to play. The papercraft world that they've created is incredibly charming, and the way it incorporates the Vita's features along with the actual players themselves makes it so you never want to leave that world.
The PlayStation Vita is a great system with a slowly increasing library of great titles. The exception being in the first-person shooter genre, that is.
You'd think that after one of these big game companies made a handheld with two joysticks that there would be a bigger incentive to create more first-person experiences. Instead, we've gotten only a few first-person shooters to date: Resistance: Burning Skies was a joke, and Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified was an insult.
I recently went hands-on with Killzone: Mercenary for the Vita, and based on what I saw, it could finally be the FPS the Vita has been so badly needing. It's hard to say this early on if it's a must-own, but my early impressions are at least far more favorable compared to the previous two disasters.
