Facebook and Twitter apps ready for Vita launch

MCV Staff 20th February 2012 Business News

Sony has announced that Twitter, Facebook and Flickr apps will be ready to download on Vita’s PSN Store on day one.

All three apps will be free to download as soon as the Vita store goes live – which could be as early as tomorrow evening (Feb 21st).

Sony adds that the Twitter app, called LiveTweet, is a custom-made Vita download that includes much of Twitter’s regular functionality

Apps for location service Foursquare and communications tool Skype will follow at a later date.

In addition to these apps, every game that arrives at UK retail on Wednesday will also be available to download from PSN. And if the UK market follows the example laid down by Japan and the US, the digital versions will be cheaper too.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
