With the new year under way we're expected to see several new releases in the next coming weeks.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock was announced some time ago but now has an official release date. The game will be released globally on PS3 May 23rd with the UK version arriving on the 25th.

We begin another week in video game releases. This week it's all about heading back to New York City to seek revenge with Prototype 2, with a few other titles rounding out the list. Other than that it's a pretty quite week. So let's see what's on tap for this week.

Its going to be a slow week in video game releases. Lets just jump in and take a look at what's on tap for this week.

Over the past week a lot of media including interviews, previews, gameplay and more were released across several video game journalism sites. Lost Planet 3, DmC: Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 6, Street Fighter vs. Tekken (Vita) and other games were covered at the event.

PAXEast has come and gone and you're surely still swimming in the influx of information. While you come up for air from that, lets take a look at what's on tap for this week in releases.

This week in releases is rather exceptional. Why you ask? Well because of one thing, the launch of Sony's next handheld the PS Vita. The Vita will be released this Wednesday, February 22. Although its release is this week several video game journalist sites have already reviewed the system and several games last week. Check out GameInfromer , IGN and Kotaku among others for their take on the console and the launch titles. Although the Vita maybe the highlight, there are great games being released. Asura's Wrath and Syndicate are both being released on the 21st with Alan Wake's American Nightmare being released on the 22nd. Additionally there will be a SSX demo dropping on the 21st. There's a lot to play this week, a new console, new IP, reboots and more. What are you most expecting this week? Are you getting a PS Vita?

Thanks to a Taiwanese site [ Shoryuken ] that posted the move list for Capcom's upcoming game Street Fighter X Tekken we can now confirm some of the rumored characters. Ogre, Jin, Akuma and M. Bison will all be playable characters when the game releases in March. [via GameInformer ]

It is January 31st, the starting bell has rung and we are now off into the 2012 game year. Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Soul Calibur V are just two of the games that mark the beginning of this delightful year. It only gets better from here, February is a big month (check out Gametrailers February release video ), and every month after opening with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and The Darkness II. The highlight of February is the launch of the PlayStation Vita on February 22. Mass Effect 3 drops in March, Prototype 2 and The Witcher 2 drops in April while the end of the year doesn't get any slower with Resident Evil 6, BioShock Infinite and Metal Gear Rising Revengence. That's just the tip of the spear. There are still several titles that do not have confirmed release date as well as titles that have yet to be announced. Each month holds alot of possibilities and my wallet is already quivering at the mere thought of what those months may hold.

Released on December 17, 2011 in Japan, the PS Vita saw good sales numbers during the first two days of launch. However the following weeks after its initial launch have not been as kind. In its third week the PS Vita sales dropped to 42, 648 well below the 321, 407 units sold in week 1 and 72, 479 units sold in week 2. These numbers are surprising; one would figure the PS Vita, in all its technical wonder, would produce constant numbers. This situation seems all too familiar as the Nintendo 3DS had similar problems. However, several months and a price drop later 3DS sales have picked up. It’s difficult to assess how this will translate when the Vita hits U.S. retailers next month but if sales mirror Japan, Sony may have to adapt a different approach. Is the price of the PS Vita hurting Sony’s sales? Is the need to buy additional hardware for the device the cause? Could it be the limitation of one PSN Account per device? What about the influx of tablets and mobile phones that makes ...

I want to start a weekly series of discussion post where a topic is picked and we have an open discussion of our thoughts and opinions. I have a few topics in mind but I open the floor to suggestions. In the video game industry, today's games usually have several modes unique to them. Two of those modes, single-player and multiplayer have become a norm for most game. Single-player is all about experiencing the story behind the game, watching beautifully rendered cut scenes and getting to know the main character(s). Multiplayer on the other hand is all about interacting with multiply players across the world while adhering to the game world and mechanics. There are a variety of different multiplayer game types, players may individually compete against two or more human contestants, work cooperatively to achieve a goal, or engage in a game type that incorporates any combination mentioned above. In the past few years the line between the two modes have started to blur, you can...

As we make our new year's resolutions and watch the sun rise on a new year it's time to take a look at the years upcoming games. In 2011 we saw it all in the video game industry and I have a feeling that 2012 will be similar for the industry. Like 2011, (see 2011 A Year in Video Game Review ) 2012 has games for everyone. New IPs like Lollipop Chainsaw and Anarchy Reigns, more HD Collections including Devil May Cry and Zone of the Ender and remakes with a twist, X-COM and Syndicate. The list goes on: Kingdoms of Amalur Aliens: Colonial Marines DMC The Darkness 2 SSX Asura's Wrath Final Fantasy XIII-X2 Mass Effect 3 Soul Calibur V Ghost Recon: Future Solider Dragons Dogma GTA V Prey 2 MG Rising: Revengeance Max Payne 3 Tomb Raider Borderland 2 Bioshock Infinite Transforme...
