I am oh-so-very tempted to use one of my funny lines right here in the introduction. I'll give you a hint: It involves yelling the title of a certain motorsports franchise.
Video Blips:
- The first Trine did a great job of making the typical warrior, mage, and thief character classes seem fresh again. Trine 2 looks like a fine sequel to the original.

Continue on to see footage of Ridge Racer for the PlayStation Vita, Touch My Katamari, and Jagged Alliance: Back in Action.
- Ridge Racer is coming to the PlayStation Vita at launch. Or, "RIIIDGE RACER is coming to the Playstion Vita at launch!" Wait, that stopped being funny a few years ago? Blast.

- I have mixed feelings about Touch My Katamari for the Vita. I like the idea of squeezing and stretching the Katarmari, but it looks like having to constantly slide your finger on the screen could get repetitive very quickly.

- My favorite strategy games involve commanding a small group doing espionage or stealthy action. That's why everything about this trailer for Jagged Alliance: Back in Action appeals to me (besides the design of the box — who chose that font?).
