After 17 years creating games for Sony platforms, Zipper Interactive has been shut down by the publisher.   Zipper has created such games has SOCOM Combined Assault on the PS2, SOCOM 4: US Navy Seals on the PS3, and more recently Unit 13 on the PlayStation Vita.  Obviously their speciality was tactical shooters and it was something they did quite well.

It's time for another fancy giveaway today at Co-Optimus!  We're giving away something for the portable crowd, namely those of you who own a shiny new PlayStation Vita.  We've got a sealed copy of Unit 13 along with a 4GB memory card for the PlayStation Vita up for grabs.  

The PlayStation Vita continues it's mobile onslaught with another big release. Unit 13 is from SOCOM developer Zipper Interactive and like that game it's a 3rd person tactical shooter. We go hands on with the title and its 2 player online co-op mode and attempt to recon whether or not it's worth your $40.

All day yesterday I was checking the PlayStation Network Store via my Vita, hoping to see a content update so I can download Unit 13, the latest co-op shooter from Zipper Interactive.  I'm on the review for the game, so time is crucial for me, as I want to get the most out of the experience.  To my disappointment the game wasn't available until almost 8:30PM Eastern last night, after which, I needed to wait almost two and a half hours for the 1.2GB game to download.   Sadly, these superfluous issues with time were only the beginning.

Are you ready, gamers?  March is absolutely packed with co-op titles.  It seems like there's at least one highly anticipated co-op game launching every week of the month.  It will be interesting to see how many games get swallowed up by the yawning maw of want and need that is Mass Effect 3.

Despite the system releasing just two weeks ago, Sony's PlayStation Vita is getting a steady stream of games.  The next big release comes next week in the form of Unit 13, a third person action shooter from veteran developer Zipper Interactive.  

  A demo is out today for the Zipper Interactive created 3rd person shooter on the PlayStation Vita called Unit 13. The demo for this tactical game offers up the training mission which has an obsession with beards as well as one map with all six operatives playable.  The download weighs in at just under 1 Gigabyte, so it might...

One of the game's I'm most excited for on the PlayStation Vita is Unit 13 from SOCOM developer Zipper Interactive.  Not only does it look like a true 3rd person shooter experience, it looks like a lot of time and thought has gone into designing one that's playable on a handheld.  This isn't just a console game made portable.  

The Zipper Interactive shooter Unit 13 was only just revealed for the PlayStation Vita, but the launch title for the system is shaping up to be a solid looking cooperative shooter for Sony's new handheld in February.  There's a video available that shows the details of the game's mission interface and social features as well as the customization of one of 6 operatives with a persistent progression system.  

Zipper Interactive, creators of SOCOM 4 US Navy Seals, have announced a brand new game for the PlayStation VITA which will be available at the system's launch.  The game is called Unit 13 and its a 3rd person shooter set across 36 missions and 9 locales.  It doesn't look all that different than the SOCOM franchise, though we get a little more of a "black ops" vibe from the screens and info.
