The Walking Dead: Season Two shambles to PS Vita next week

By Adam Rosenberg Published September 2, 2014

Read our full The Walking Dead: Season 2 review.

The second season of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead kicks off its PlayStation Vita run on April 22, as Telltale community lead Laura Perusco confirms in a new PlayStation Blog post. It’s a somewhat late arrival for the second season, which kicked off December 2013 with Android/iOS, Mac/Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 releases, but the Vita launch makes up for that with both the first and second episodes launching together on the handheld.

Individual episodes in the five-chapter season cost $4.99 apiece, though you can knock 20-percent off the total cost if you buy a $19.99 Season Pass. There’s no word on whether or not the delay that saw the Vita lagging behind the others will carry forward into subsequent episodes, but we’ve reached out to Telltale for clarification. Either way, the season’s going great so far – assuming you enjoy being miserable and close to tears for two-hour stretches of your life (in a good way, really). If Vita’s your platform of choice, then you’ve got reason to (nervously) celebrate.

Madden has been available on phones for years, but its mobile versions have never offered the same depth as the main console games. EA is now bringing a more substantial version to Apple Arcade through Madden NFL 27 Arcade Edition, which launches on August 6.

As per EA, the game focuses on full NFL seasons, franchise management, and 11-on-11 matches. Players can manage trades, free agency, and roster changes before taking their team through the regular season and playoffs. Quick Play is also included for anyone who wants to skip the management side and start an exhibition match.

GameNative just made it dangerously easy to fill your Android phone with PC game mods

The emulator now handles Nexus Mods downloads and per-game profiles directly inside the app

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

GameNative is making it much easier for Android players to commit one of PC gaming’s oldest crimes against storage space. Its v1.1.1 pre-release adds Nexus Mods integration, cutting out much of the file shuffling usually required to get PC game mods running on a phone.

According to GameNative’s official release notes, users can sign in to a Nexus account and download mods through the app. Downloads can be paused and resumed too, so losing your connection shouldn’t force you back to the beginning.
