Concerts on Blu-ray Disc are a hit-and-miss bunch, and since they’re often soft rock or jazz, seeing a Queensryche concert come out on Blu-ray caused my inner skeptic to surface immediately.

Sony’s new PlayStation Vita has a variety of firsts for a handheld system, and its touch-sensitive rear cover is in fact a first for the whole industry.

Most people would think a game predicated on using guns and a pair of shoulder-mounted bloodthirsty demon arms would be little more than a gore fest.
