Did you start your morning with PS Vita's Wake-up Club? Let's face it: waking up in the morning sucks, but Sony has a new game of sorts to make that harsh reality a little more tolerable. Wake-up Club is essentially an alarm clock with social game elements for your PlayStation Vita. The application takes up to twelve players and pits them against one another for some early morning fun. It kicks off with a mini game to make sure you're awake, then allows early birds to encourage (harass?) other members of the group to rise and shine. If that sounds even mildly interesting, you can grab Wake-up Club for free right now via PSN. Oh, by the way, there are trophies. That'll sure sweeten the pot for some of you out there. Yep. You can earn free trophies just for getting out of bed in the morning. Congratulations.
