    Yes, Uncharted is lovely and Lumines is addictive, but we know what you really bought that Vita to see: miniature, simulated foosball. Finally, next week, you'll be able to see lovingly rendered fooses (?) on that gorgeous screen, as Grip Games' Foosball 2012 launches on PSN.The $7.99 Foosball 2012 purchase ($5.99 for Plus users) will get you not only portable Foosball 2012, but the PS3 version as well, allowing you to flip little wooden dudes in HD, with the option to use your Move controller. It even has Crossplay support, allowing you to continue your epic match on the go.

    Foosball, the table game with a surprisingly rich history, is coming to PS3 and Vita this spring in the form of Foosball 2012. Developed by Grip Games, the game features a "World Tour" single-player mode with 30 locations, and multiplayer support for up to four players with online and couch co-op.It'll also support the PlayStation Move and allow players to control Foosball 2012 exactly like they "would control a real table football, with 1:1 movement precision." We don't think the Move warranty covers spinning the controller like a drunken madman and the ensuing breakage as it hits the floor.For those without Move, the DualShock 3 and Vita controls will be identical and the game supports cross-platform play (pay once, get both). Also, out of curiosity, we looked up how much a decent Foosball table costs, and they run from hundreds to thousands of dollars. We expect Foosball 2012 to cost significantly less.
