Have thumb, will travel
The PS Vita hasnt had the best sales since it launched more than a year ago, including a release schedule filled with a handful of PS3 ports, indie games, and little else. Few games seem made with the Vita in mind, but Tearaway from Media Molecule (LittleBigPlanet) looks to finally give the system the killer app its long needed. And, based on what we played, the unique platformer seems up to the task.
The simplest way all those came together was also the most heartwarming moment of the demo. We kept meeting this talkative squirrel, and at one point he wanted us to make him a crown. Using the touchscreen, we cut out crown from yellow construction paper and placed it on his head. When we met the squirrel later, our newly-regal friend wanted us to take a picture of him in his new crown, which we did via the Vitas motion sensors. We couldnt help but smile at the situation, and it was a moment of happiness that only the PS Vita could supply. Tearaway hits the Vita this October.
