If you live in the UK, the US, or some other "major" gaming country, it can be a little hard to believe that there are some places that are yet to get some of the things we take for granted.

The nominees for Spike VGX awards have been announced, with Grand Theft Auto V receiving the most nominations. Formerly known as Spike Video Game Awards, VGX will take place on December 7th, this time giving the fans a chance to voice their opinion by voting for their favorites on the official website.

Fans of the Oddworld franchise will know exactly how New 'n' Tasty is made, but that won't stop the hair on the back of your neck from standing up when you watch this rather excellent trailer for Spring 2014's Abe's Oddysee remake. "I thought I had a good job..."

Vita owners have been patiently waiting for the yearly PlayStation Plus update, removing Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Gravity Rush from the service and replacing it with something a little fresher. We’ll need to wait a little more, as Sony’s Fred Dutton confirms the two games will be sticking around for the “foreseeable future.” In reply to a question from Robertsoneuan92 on the latest Plus update post, Dutton confirmed that the Vita wouldn’t be having its rumoured yearly update.

A new update for the PlayStation Vita might not seem to do very much right now, but it actually contains an awful lot. If you're planning to buy a PlayStation 4 over the coming weeks, today's Vita update prepares your handheld for many of the cross-platform features Sony have previously announced.

Street Fighter X Tekken was kind of a big deal when it was first announced, and perhaps even helped the Mortal Kombat remake to herald in a new wave of fighting titles. Along with its companion title, the long presumed dead Tekken X Street Fighter, Street Fighter X Tekken was going to combine two of the biggest names in fighting, dozens of the most recognisable characters, all within a blended style that meant you'd never see the seams. In the end, this worked out rather well. It's still just a fighting game, no different from other entries in the Street ...

FuturLab announced last week that they'd be revealing a new game. If you loved the addictive PlayStation Mobile title Surge, you'll be desperate to get your hands on Surge Deluxe, a new remake for PlayStation Vita. The updated game included PlayStation trophies and leaderboards, as well as several fixes to scoring and to the way you'll be chaining blocks for big points.

Atlus has always been known to deliver niche JRPG experiences; games that don’t sell well but are critical darlings. They have plenty of exceptional titles under their belt such as Catherine and Shin Megami Tensei IV, but Persona 4 is quite possibly their finest work yet.
