And no, not Lone Survivor the movie, I am talking about the side-scrolling indie game. And since Lone Survivor is cross-buy, you’ll receive it for your PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita. That’s a deal!
PlayStation Vita
Sony could of easily stop there, but they didn’t want to leave out their baby-brother handheld platform of the PlayStation Vita. Vita users will receive third-person shooter of Unit 13 and Japan’s favorite monster-slaying simulator,Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite.
