The Playstation Mobile store has a lot of games in its marketplace, and while there are many simple games on the store, there are occasionally some decent ones. UFO Dad is one of those simple average games that has entered the store.

The game is about a family who for whatever reason have decided to stop an alien invasion using the Wonder Spatula, which is apparently a part of the reason they invaded the planet to begin with. It holds a power the aliens desire I guess. Anyways after that silly introduction, players are thrown into the menu where they can play the game, look at leaderboards, view options, or learn how to play and check the credits. After selecting your character and level, you can begin playing the game. It should be noted that the other family members need to be unlocked by meeting various conditions in gameplay.

It’s a new year. Why not start it off with a new “U”? On January 10, the retail version of Wii Fit U for Wii U hits stores, just in time to help people get started on their New Year’s resolutions to be more active and get fit. But Wii Fit U doesn’t require heavy equipment or expensive gym memberships. With Wii Fit U, users can get active by navigating a luge course, spraying a water hose, bouncing on a giant trampoline and even grabbing the new Fit Meter to continue their workouts on the go. Fitness doesn’t get any more fun than this.

“Wii Fit U makes fitness fun. It’s as simple as that,” said Ron Bertram, Nintendo of Canada’s vice-president and general manager. “Wii Fit U is a great option for busy moms and families who want to stay active in the comfort of their own homes – which is perfect during the cold winter months.”

Wii Fit U allows users to discover fun new ways to get up and get moving using their Wii U console and Wii Balance Board accessory. The game features some of the best activities from the original Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus games, as well as new activities that incorporate the Wii U GamePad controller. Wii Fit U bundles also come packaged with a new activity meter called the Fit Meter, which is designed to sync up with the game and track daily routines. People can carry the Fit Meter with them anywhere they go, and then easily sync it to their Wii Fit U profiles to track daily activities like steps taken and calories burned. If the user doesn’t reach the calorie target, the game will propose a variety of Wii Fit U exercises to help bridge the gap. All members of the family can even own their own Fit Meter, allowing them to create their own profiles and compare their fitness progress and activities with each other. The Fit Meter can be purchased separately at a suggested retail price of $19.99.

Wii Fit U is the most customizable and shareable game in the series. Users can create their own personalized workouts or select from multiple recommended workouts based on their fitness goals. These workouts can even be tracked using Miiverse (broadband Internet access is required). Members of these Miiverse gym communities can view their favourite workouts, as well as track popular activities and total community calories burned.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled new Dracula-centric screenshots, character concept art, and more for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, available on February 25, 2014 in North and South America for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 concludes the revamped series in epic style. Featuring a sprawling, open-world environment, free-roaming cameras, and over 20 hours of action, combat and exploration, the new game picks up where the acclaimed original left off. Awoken after centuries of slumber and yearning for release from his immortal bonds, Dracula finds himself stranded and powerless in contemporary times. Thus, the immortal vampire must rediscover his powers as he makes a pact with Death to defeat Satan. Only then will he gain eternal rest.

KONAMI has released screenshots highlighting the skills and powers available to the player as they guide Dracula towards his destiny. New screenshots detail the vast modern day city and the expansive gothic castle where Dracula must reclaim his lost powers of transformation and collate the weaponry needed to dispatch Satan’s hordes. Key adversaries are also displayed for the first time, as is the visible degradation of Dracula when he first arrives in present day, and the gradual resurrection as his powers grow.

Also released are stunning new art of key supporting characters, such as the Acolyte, and the as-yet unseen Dragon metamorphosis that is essential to defeating Satan, Lord of Chaos.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC on February 25, 2014.

Terraria is a build your own world, choose your own adventure, make your own game kind of game. You’re provided the building blocks to make your own fun, or at least your own housing, armor, and weapons. Play as you see fit: build the best castle ever, search for the best treasure ever, or fight the worst bosses ever. It’s up to you. And now you can do it on the PlayStation Vita.

You start out by creating a rudimentary character, choosing a difficulty level, and the size of your world. Once the game randomly generates your little slice of pixel heaven, you’re dropped in the middle of a heartless world in which you must fight to survive. But you must first survive to fight. Grab your axe and get to chopping wood, because you need to build a house before night falls and the zombies come out to snack on you. Be quick. It will be dark before you know it, and you need to stay alive to build another day.
