    WIZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOORB!

    Look, you should play Wizorb. Who wouldn’t be into an Arkanoid RPG? That’s exactly what Tribute Games has put together with Wizorb. Once an Xbox Live Indie Games release, it's now a game you can play on a PC, Max, Linux, and, starting next week, it’ll be available as a PlayStation Mini.

    By releasing as a PlayStation Mini, Wizorb will be playable on your PlayStation 3, PSP, and Vita.

    The developers are still waiting for Sony Computer Entertainment America to sign off on Vita compatibility, but that’s already happened in Europe, and if it doesn’t happen at launch in the US, it’ll come soon after. It's Vita "compatible," though, which means it's emulated, and doesn't have Vita-specific features. It will still look super pretty.

    Wizorb launches through PlayStation Network on July 25. I leave you with this:

    I just bought this game from the Steam Summer sale for like $1.79 or something like that. Hearing ''Arkanoid RPG" sounds like something that would come out of What Would Molydeux, so it's gotta be interesting.

    This article just reminded me that I never got around to buying this even though it seemed interesting. $1.79 on steam, sold.

    Thanks Patrick for reminding me about this game, a must purchase from Steam when I leave work. Arkanoid was a favorite arcade game as a kid, and adding the RPG elements sounds amazing.

    If you haven't bought this already on Steam for like $2, then you're a fucking failure at life.

    Already got it on Steam for less than $2, and it has achievements. This being a mini, it likely does not have Trophies. :(

    Went ahead and snagged it (and a couple of copies to gift) on Steam today for $1.79. My wife is/was a huge DX Ball fan back in the day, she should like this game, but she'll probably just bitch about the RPG elements of the game detracting from the block breaking parts.

    I am disappointed by the lack of Breakout references. Everyone should buy this game though, it is awesome.

    Oh it. Is. On!

    Being a Mini, the lower resolution and lack of trophies makes it a bit less appealing as a PS3 game, but it seems like a great fit for PSP. Being able to put the system to sleep would also make the game more suitable for shorter sessions.
