Vita Owners Have Another Visual Novel to Look Forward To
Amnesia: Memories, the latest visual novel from publisher Idea Factory, will be making its way to PlayStation Vita owners in the west this coming August.
The game's interactive story puts you in the shoes of a girl who, like the title implies, has lost her memory. A "mysterious spirit" named Orion enters the picture, promising to help the main character regain what has since been forgotten.
Coincidentally, our heroine finds herself surrounded by five men she must hide her amnesia from. Players will be able to choose one of the five to romance, opening up a number of branching paths that ultimately lead to over 20 different endings. Along the way, you'll engage in touch-based mini games and make conversation decisions that direct the flow of the narrative.
Report: Mass Effect 4 Details Leaked Through Survey
Potentially huge spoilers for Mass Effect 4 ahead.
An unauthenticated survey on BioWare's next Mass Effect game has apparently detailed its plot, multiplayer mode and much more.
Evoking flashbacks to a similar situation with 'Dragon Age 3' back in 2012, a now deleted Reddit user claimed a survey he took on Mass Effect 4 revealed a massive amount of information on the game. If this is true, it's important to note that surveys are there to test out ideas, and therefore aren't necessarily indicative of what will be in the final game.

Aussie Streaming Services – Which One Is Right For You?
It was only a matter of time before Netflix hit Australian shores. With an estimated 200,000-odd Australian users accessing international Netflix via VPN means prior to its launch Down Under, it was the easiest market research for the company to see that there’s a demand for streaming services in Australia.
Now that Netflix has landed, it’s not the only streaming service on the block and not even close to being the first. In fact, short of another mysterious streaming service appearing over the coming months, Netflix is the most recent streaming service to land in Australia and, depending on what you want from a streaming service, it may not even be the best option.
We’ve weighed up all of the streaming services to give you a comprehensive understanding of which service offers what and, ultimately, which one is right for you. Given that Netflix is to streaming services what an iPod is to MP3 players, we’ll start with the big name that’s synonymous with streaming video and use it as the measurement tool for everything else.
What if Pixar Made Furious 7?

Don't believe us? Here's the original trailer.
And here's our mash-up with Cars.
I don't know about you, but this makes us happy.
