The guys over at The Vita Lounge have started a new e-magazine dedicated to all things Vita.

A direct link to the magazine: http://en.calameo.com/accounts/4256142

Seems to be getting some traction; which for the Vita community, is a great thing. Greg Miller @GameOverGreggyhas even indicated that he'd like to write something for the next issue...

Edit: It seems one of our own, Shizuka, is also involved. Thanks Barajas...

It seems well done. Thought fellow VitaGAFers would find it interesting as well. Didn't see it posted already -- Unsubscribe if old.

Edit 6/15/15: From TheVitaLounge...the second issue is now available for free.

Hope you enjoy it, and if you ordered a physical copy they should hopefully be hitting doorsteps soon.

It looks quite great, I like this format.

mocoworm · Apr 21, 2015

Is this free? Will it always be free?

I am not really versed in eBooks / comics.

Vlitra · Apr 21, 2015

Looks awesome. Wish something like this existed a couple of years ago though.

xKilltheMx · Apr 21, 2015

This reminds me of the old PSP e-mags that used to get made by fans. Good times.

That1BlackGuy · Apr 21, 2015

Good shit.

Brazil · Apr 21, 2015

That actually looks quite good.

VLiberty · Apr 21, 2015

Browsing through the pages it looks great, I'll give it a closer look later

Eolz · Apr 21, 2015

Read through it, it's pretty good if it stays free.

Lolwut at La Mulana EX getting 2.9/5 and Duke Nukem getting 3.2 as well though.

Barajas_201 · Apr 21, 2015

I see Shizuka as a contributor, awesome, will read.

Carl · Apr 21, 2015

Heh, i considered making a thread for this yesterday but didn't think many people would care. Good to see a few do though!

Didn't actually hear about this until i read the e-mag but i liked it so much that i supported them on patreon https://www.patreon.com/thevitalounge

Was great to see Gregg Miller take an interest.

Ruud_Luiten · Apr 21, 2015

Van I only read this only, or is a download possible?!

names2hard4you · Apr 21, 2015

This is awesome! Definitely gonna read this. Congrats to them, this is huge. We need to keep the little flame the Vita has going for it burning as much as we can.

VitaGaf, you know what to do.

Hope it does well. I like the format. Would love to see something like this on the Google Play store so I could read it on my tablet. (haven't tried the web site on my Android yet)

VanWinkle · Apr 21, 2015

That's actually really cool.

NolbertoS · Apr 21, 2015

Hmm, interesting. Do they cover Asian imports too?? Most of my Vita games have been purchased from Asia recently, but would like more coverage for gamers out West, who import.

RelentlessRolento · Apr 21, 2015

Looked it over quick... way better than I was expecting

Dragonslayer_023 · Apr 21, 2015

This sounds cool, I definitely check it out.

Edit after flipping through: wow, tons of reviews and some cool features. Seems like a top quality production.

BadWolf · Apr 21, 2015

Looks really good.

Flunkie · Apr 21, 2015

Woah, Greg Miller wanting to get involved. That's pretty cool.

joe2187 · Apr 21, 2015

I support this! really well done!

Ingueferroque · Apr 21, 2015

2.5 execution on Duke3D? That is some bullshit, I couldnt dream up a better port. Its wonderful on Vita.

La Mulana review is uninspired and misses the point of the game. It would be nice if it had widescreen, bit that wasnt going to happen. Totally off critique in my opinion.

Kama_1082 · Apr 21, 2015

I'm a writer on TVL, can't wait for the 2nd issue

Fine Ham Abounds · Apr 21, 2015

Monthly GAF PSN thread, The Magazine

Pankratous · Apr 21, 2015

Wow, seems like this is produced really well. Added to my bookmarks and will be keeping an eye on it.

Same here. Was a good throwback to all of the PSP magazines and podcasts people made, once the PSP got a podcast feed app, and an internet browser.

Good times.

Awesome! Thanks Kama. I've followed TheVitaLounge on YouTube for quite a while but haven't checked out their web site until recently. Look forward to reading some of your work!

What does lanches mean?

It probably means I can't spell "launches"... Thanks for catching that.

MOD help please.

Yeah i think it uses flash, which Vita doesnt support

FDC1 · Apr 21, 2015

Looks great, I will read that tonight at home

VanWinkle · Apr 21, 2015

If I could critique, I think the grammar needs a little work in most everything I read. It's not that it's written poorly; rather, there are just some missing commas and other simple grammatical mistakes. Maybe they could get an editor in addition to the writers to help with things like that.

Also - and this isn't a huge deal - but the reviews felt a little too long to me, and the structure a little formulaic.

Hopefully I don't come across as unreasonable, because I honestly think this is really cool. I just want it to be the best it can. I'm really surprised and impressed by how good it is.

maouvin · Apr 21, 2015

Woah @ Greg wanting to write in.

Scoot2005 said:

It's "snacks" in portuguese

Guys. Fix this. Mobile support is fantastic though so thanks for that!

Shizuka · Apr 21, 2015

I want to thank teflontactics for giving me the chance to participate starting with my Criminal Girls review, I hope I can continue reviewing these games and giving the point of view from a Vita owner that truly cherishes japanese games.

The happiest kind of Vita owner.

mollipen · Apr 21, 2015

I love magazines! I love to Vita! So, it's a project after my own heart. But, the layout is kind of rough at the moment, and after all of my years of living the rockstar lifestyle of video game magazines, that's one of the things that instantly turns me off to keeping up with new projects.

I hope it keeps up, though, and can improve in areas such as that!

kizito · Apr 21, 2015

I would like to read this offline on my tablet, is there a way to download it ?
