As the Vita readies for a worldwide release, apps like Twitter and Flickr will finally be available on every store (although why they weren’t available last week considering they are on the JP store is baffling). But what else would we want to see on the app store? Read on to find out.

With the Indian games industry evolving, studios have begun to develop games for current gen consoles. Leading the pack is Version2Games Limited, which is working on one of the first PSN games from an Indian developer, Smash ‘N’ Survive, a fast-paced vehicle combat game, as well as several future projects. To learn more about the game, its upcoming DLC and multiplayer support as well as the future of the Indian games industry, we chatted to Rajat Ojha, President of V2G.
This week is jam-packed with a great mix of downloadable and retail content, both old and new. The highlight of the week is difficult to choose, as Jak and Daxter HD Collection has been broken up into each singular game on the PSN, and is competing with Gotham City Imposters, Shank 2, and my personal favorite The Simpsons: Arcade Game. Also, don’t forget to pick up Final Fantasy V for free and a demo for The House of the Dead III if you’re a PS Plus subscriber.
Also, be sure to look out for our PlayStation Store Preview 2.0 “firmware update” in the coming weeks, as this feature is going to undergo some changes in anticipation of the PlayStation Vita launch.
