Ubisoft has announced the release dates for stellar platforming title Rayman Origins on the PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS and PC.

The PS Vita version is on track as a launch title a week before the portable's North American release on February 22th. The Nintendo 3DS version will be released on March 20th.

The PC version drops March 29, with no pesky DRM attached for the retail version and an activation key for the download-only versions.

Valve has released the Steam Mobile iOS and Android app, allowing Steam users to keep in touch with other users without the need to access the PC client.

The app will allow Steam users to chat with people on their friends list, as well as browsing the Steam catalogue to add stuff to their wishlist, stay up to date to discounts and offers and score themselves a Steam title while on the go.

Steam Mobile is currently in closed beta testing and gamers can express their interest simply by logging on to the app, which is free. They will be added as the testing progresses.

If I'd spent more than 28 seconds of my life watching The Sopranos I'd have a killer opening line for this preview linking some pithy quote from the show to H.R. Gieger.
