Push Square: "While us lucky Europeans have spent the past 24 hours gobbling up as much grub as we can get our hands-on in Hungry Giraffe, those in North America will not have to wait long to join in on the flavoursome fun. Developer Laughing Jackal’s just dropped us a line to confirm that Hungry Giraffe will hit the North American PlayStation Store on 7th February, where it will be free and exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers."
Sometimes you just want to bury your face into a burger, or tear into a taco. Out on the African savanna, a Hungry Giraffe feels your pain. A 20 foot tall, 1200kg animal like the giraffe needs to chow down on tons of food each day just to stay alive, and now you can help achieve that on your Vita.
We get to grips with Laughing Jackal's remake for the PS Vita. Is it worth another look?
Pocket Gamer - In-app purchases, eh?
Whether you're a fan of paying to unlock features from within a game or not, there's no doubt that this payment model needs to be carefully employed so that it doesn't become intrusive or break the immersion.
Take Hungry Giraffe. On PSP it was a wonderful eat-'em-up. On PS Vita it's drowning in pleas for cash, and the main spectacle is completely destroyed as a result.
