Sony's most charming, and, coincidentally, most British studio, Media Molecule, are releasing their first handheld game, Tearaway.

I thought they had developed the PSP game, but they said in the PSBlog post that this is their first portable game. Fun fact: the best LittleBigPlanet game isn't even developed by MM, it's developed by Double Eleven. Though that's not to say LBP2 isn't absolutely amazing.

 

 

Too bad it's on a system that matters only slightly more than the WiiU! HO HO HO!

 

But really, it looked interesting when they announced it, and it still does. I'm not sure why they're releasing it in the US, though. Should be Canada-only.

Hey, the OP, did write in brackets +US for the November 22nd release date. Maybe he's sick of everything being "coming out ____ ____ in the US" and no mention that things also come out on the same date in Canada. MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO EVEN THINGS OUT A BIT!?!?!!

Isn't it standard to give release dates for "North America" or "NA", rather than the US specifically?  Obviously that refers to both Canada and the US (does it also include Mexico?  I know geographically they're North American but I don't know how companies treat it).

It's true, Ethan. Usually companies use "North America" but fairly often they'll just use "US" for when something that's being released in Canada too. Just today I looked up the release date for The Worlds End and it was listed as a "US" release date, but obviously, the same in Canada. It's like they assume we're part of the US. But we're not. We're slightly different, dammit!!!

hmmm, this is quite the surprise for me - I thought it was out this week for some reason? No idea how I got that idea in my head. So seeing it is the end of the year now is a bit of a downer, but since it seems to only be £20 most places it may make a good Christmas present idea when my brother inevitably asks me what I want.

So how does everyone feel about Tearaway?

 

I adored it from start to finish. I had a few niggles with playing in a dark room (the Vita's camera doesn't like anything that's not bright sunlight), but aside from that i thought it was well worth the wait. Without a doubt one of my favourite games of the year, and a game i don't think could be played on any other console.
