Vote For A Cheaper Price For Amy On The PSN

The survival horror game Amy, developed by VectorCell Studios, puts a mother and her daughter in a post apocalyptic world where Lana, the mother, must protect her daughter, Amy, from ravaging infected folk.

Publisher Lexis Numérique has announced today that Amy will be coming out January 11 for the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. The game will cost you 800 Microsoft Points (which equals $10) for the Xbox or you can pay $12.99 for the PS3 version.

Some people might think of the price difference unfair and they might want to do something about it, well they can. Lexis Numérique is offering gamers the chance to vote for a $10 price tag for Amy on the PS3. There is a downside for that though, if the price gets knocked down a few bucks then the game will be delayed for a week due to reprocessing through the PSN.

Miyamoto Working On A New Title

Recovery after my surgery is so far so good, I've been keeping off my feet lately and been playing Dead Island (I'll try to get a review up and going) and re-playing Metal Gear Solid. Now that I'm doing a bit better, I'm going to start updating The Reading Gamers a little more now; oh how I have missed blogging.

The creative man behind Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda series is working on three different games, two of them being sequels and one being a brand new undisclosed title.

In an interview with Zoomin.tv, Shigeru Miyamoto explains what's going on about the retirement situation from last month. Along with that, the interview talks about how Miyamoto is working on already announced Pikmin 3 for the Wii U and Luigi's Mansion 2 for the 3DS, but that isn't all that Miyamoto is working on; there is a new title he is working on, but what it could be is a complete mystery at this time.

New Street Fighter X Tekken Shot accidentally reveals M. Bison & Ling Xiaoyu

The Screenshot above looks nothing new about the upcoming fighter crossover, but if you look at the Character icons on the top you can see Street Fighter's M. Bison and Tekken's Ling Xiaoyu as ready to swap team-mates meaning these two will appear in the 360, PS3 and PC version of Street Fighter X Tekken. However there is a chance they wont appear in the Vita version (due to Cole McGrath appearing exclusively on the Vita) but nothing's set in stone yet.

The console versions are scheduled for release in early march (a delay may be possible), with the vita's version coming out later that month. Do think M. Bison is excited for his confirmation?

YES! YES!!!
