Deadmau5 is making “a variety of exclusive new tracks” for Sound Shapes, a unique Vita title which unfortunately looks likely to miss the console’s launch. Navigating a 2D world with vague shades of Loco Roco, the player creates a unique soundscape on each playthrough. In addition to the campaign, you can make and share your own levels – mixing your own interactive music, in other words. Deadmau5′s offerings will apparently be playable in both modes. Sony sent a press release so this one actually looks to be true, unlike other headlines we won’t discuss.

New trailers of Mass Effect 3 and Hitman Absolution will air at the VGAs tomorrow, EA and Spike have respectively announced.
