PlayStation Vita's firmware update 2.10 adding folders, enhanced video playback
Tired of all those messy icons cluttering up your PlayStation Vita’s home screen? Sony’s providing a solution in its next update, firmware version 2.10, which enables folders of up to 10 items to be organized on the screen. That means you could potentially take those 100 max applications allowed and stuff them all into folders on the home screen, effectively condensing your various home screens from 10 to one. The rest of the update isn’t so thrilling — namely, being able to identify which SD card you’ve got in the device, some email app enhancements, and video support which “allows you to play video within the browser.”

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Declassified PS Vita review
Firstly, I should point out this isn’t without its merits. Does that mean Declassified is good? Dear lord, no. Still, with typically guttural weapons, combat is meaty like a Rocky abattoir sparring session. It’s also not quite the ugly duckling that first footage hinted at.
Sure, the textures, art design or lightning aren’t going to set your Vita alight with sexy graphical pyro. But the game is at least commendably smooth and reasonably well detailed in places. Of course, any good work is instantly nuked into oblivion when you take into account there’s about an hour’s worth of single-player content on show.
Nope, my chipolata fingers didn’t accidentally miss out a number there. Declassified’s main campaign component can be rattled through in less than 60 minutes. Composed of ten missions (usually lasting less than five minutes), these Operation quests really do put the stingy vol-au-vent in bite-sized.
Partially inspired by Modern Warfare 2’s Spec Ops mode, the piddling shooty stages on display sadly lack the tactical nous and replayability that made Infinity Ward’s co-op treat such an unexpected hoot.
If you were expecting a shrunk down version of the ferocious futuristic campaign escapades seen in Black Ops II on PS3, you better check those expectations at the door. Actually, you better get security to strong arm them out of said door then chuck those hopeful little buggers into the nearest gutter.
