Sound Shapes for PS3 and Vita

Sound Shapes is a new 2D platform music game from Playstation for the PS3 and Vita. Being a Playstation Family member my family was given codes to test them out, and boy did we. Actually I let my daughter go first and I'm still waiting for a turn. The game is great for music lovers and those interested in game design.

The game is visual appealing with design by Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers, and others. The music is by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. 

With every stage you clear in the game you open more components to create your own stages and music. After my daughter had played for about an hour she had enough to create the stage below. My daughter is 8 years old and had no difficulty finding her way around. I will admit she is pretty familiar with Playstation and gaming in general.

I almost got a turn last night but then my husband got on. So let's watch this video and see what Playstation has to say about the game.

My PS Vita Favorite Features

After a few months with my PS Vita I have definitely developed some strong feelings for many of it's features and games. I am so grateful to Playstation for having me on their PS Family board, and giving me the opportunity to explore this hand held gaming system that is so much more.

I know I've said this a bunch of times in a bunch of places but I still love Escape Plan. It it such a great game. It's main characters Lil and Laarg die often at my hands but they always bounce back up and are ready to go again and again until I can finally figure out how to clear the level. See the trailer below

Aside from games there are other uses for the PS Vita. I love to have it handy for watching movies on Netflix. Here's a picture of me watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. The picture is small but so so clear. 

The last feature I'm excited about is the new Skype app. You can contact anyone on skype and and have a face to face chat. You can even switch the camera to rear facing and show them your surroundings. It really is insanely cool. Here's a playstation video explaining all it's features.

With all of this you hardly need anything else. 

I really have enjoyed using the Vita and can easily recommend it to one and all.
