56% of US Households have a gaming console

Saw this on Kotaku today!  Half the homes across America have at least one current generation of consoles.  The survey was put together by the Nielsen Group.  That number is up 6% from last year.

Personally I think that number will continue to rise as we see consoles being more than just gaming.  With netflix, youtube, crackle, and other services starting to mix its way into our consoles, everyone is starting to see the use of having one.  Consider this, having an xbox with XBL, would mean that you would be able to play games, watch movies ( both DVD and Netflix ), watch youtube and a couple other stuff.  PS3 is easy, you have free online service, netflix, games, Bu-ray, and other stuff as well!  Does this mean there will be more girl gamers? I sure hope so!

Persona 4: The Golden

The vita is getting quite a bit of attention with games being ported over.  That is a good thing though. Persona 4: The Golden  for the Playstation Vita is a version of the Playstation 2 RPG, Persona 4.  The game will get some new content as well as a new look on the sexy Vita OLED screen.  Once a release date hits the streets, we'll update you guys!

Phantasy Star Online 2 will see a Vita Release

Satoshi Sakai, Producer for Sega, stated that the PC title Phantasy Star Online 2 is going to be released for the Playstation Vita.  He also notes that it will be possible to play in the same server as PC users, which it will use the same data.  This means that people who play on the PC can also take their characters with them on the PS Vita!  We'll see a release date leaning towards a 2013 release.

Sony announced Metal Gear Solid HD Edition is heading to the Playstation Vita.  It's going to be released in Japan on June 28, 2012.  The console eiditon was released for PS3 and Xbox 360, but also included Peace Walker.  Not sure about an American release yet, but once we find out we'll definitely get back to you guys!

Did you enjoy the Mega Man games?  How about the Dead Rising games?  If so Keiji Inafune released a statement saying they are creating a brand new game!  Unfortunately he can't release any information yet, but I guess he sure as hell can tease us huh?  He also adds to the statement that "It will be an amazing game!"  We'll see about that once we get more information!

Mass Effect 3 Frame Rate Issues

I'm sure a lot of you are now playing the much antcipated Mass Effect 3 game.  Whether you are or not, I'm also hoping that your going to be checking out our Youtube channel for our Play Through videos.  Anyway, sorry for self promotion lol, but! it seems players are the PS3 may have some problems when playing Mass Effect 3.  The game is having trouble sticking to the 30 framers-per-second it was set for.  It was said that the PS3 version frequently falls to around 20 Fps mark, especially when outdoors.
