From the free PS Mobile games, to the free AR games, to the cross-buy games, to the free full games like MotorStorm RC or more recently Jetpack Joyride, you get a lot of free games on the Vita even if you're not a PS+ member.
I want to own all next gen consoles, but the PS4 is the one I want most. I'll buy it launch day if I can afford to.
"The naysayers will continue to predict the death of the Vita, however, should Sony decide to kill the system early, I will feel I have more than had my monies worth, just based on everything available already."
I agree. Why can't more game journalists be like this guy?
I love my Vita with a passion. I really hope sales pick up because this system deserves massive success. I look forward to gaming on my Vita for many years to come.
Looks like we've got ourselves a game of the year contender already.
Only on PlayStation®3.
I wish I had it already. I've always wanted to get it because of that sweet holographic box art (and because I enjoyed the demo.) Physical copies > digital any day of the week. You'll own that game for the rest of your life as long as you never sell it.
I'm glad I'll finally get to play Darksiders, but I'm sad that now I won't have to add it to my collection with that awesome box art.
Definitely picking up Stardrone Extreme for $2. ...
If you don't have something to play on it, it's because you aren't buying games for it. I have a sh**load of games on my Vita and not nearly enough time for them all. Of course, I spend a lot of time with my other systems too. There's a bunch of Vita games I'm holding off on buying because I just have too much to play on it already. If you really want to get some use out of your Vita, go buy Persona 4 Golden. Who needs games releasing consistently when you've got games...
Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack and Sound Shapes are fantastic sidescrollers. I've only played a bit of Frobisher Says, but it is a lot of fun.
I got Borderlands 2 on black friday for $25. I'll wait for Sleeping Dogs to hit $20. Am a cheap bastard.
I've been buying games left and right since I got this job last year. For every game I finish, I buy like 10 more. It's so overwhelming owning all these games. I'm a collector and I just can't help but buy a game I want if it's at the right price. I'm not sure the exact number, but there's probably about 200 games in my pile of shame. There's over 20 games I want coming out this year and hundreds more that are already out. I keep finding out about more games I ...
I agree with the choices in the article except I would change best downloadable game from RCR to Sound Shapes. Also I would add Lumines: Electronic Symphony as best puzzle game.
@Kingofwiiu
I clicked disagree and you went from 2 bubbles to 1 LMAO. Btw, I disagreed because I think it is amazing. You probably do think it's amazing, but won't admit it because of your bias.
Besides you've only played a handful of Vita games so far. Ge...
Mario Kart was dethroned long ago with the release of Crash Team Racing.
People like to compare LBP and Mario a lot, but without the Play Create Share formula, Mario just can't compete imo.
They forgot Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. Or maybe they didn't list it because it comes out March in the UK.
Ni no Kuni and Sly for me. Rayman Legends whenever I get a Wii U or it goes multiplat.
The name Ouya always reminds me of the battle theme in Persona 3.
Day 1. I got Velocity free with PS+ and it's amazing so I'll gladly support the upgraded Vita version. Looks like a sequel is in the works too. Noice!
I don't have to imagine. I can play Gravity Rush, AC III: Liberation and NFS: Most Wanted right now.
I'd love a new GTA and a new inFAMOUS for the Vita.
I'm getting Tearaway, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, Soul Sacrifice, Guacamelee, Killzone: Mercenary and Warrior's Lair day 1. I really want Bioshock Vita too, but I think it'll release in 2014. Can't wait to see what will be announced for the Vita at Destination PlayStation next month.
Nice, I'm glad they're sticking with tradition of releasing Sly games for less than normal retail prices. This game was already a no-brainer purchase for me. I'm glad more people will be willing to pick it up now. Thanks for saving me $20, Sony. I'll be sure to put that towards another one of your amazing titles this year.
My favorite: The Sly Collection
Honorable mentions: Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, ICO & SotC, Metal Gear Solid, God of War and GoW Origins.
Still need to get DmC Collection, PoP Collection, Killzone HD, Okami HD and a few more.
LittleBigPlanet 3
Ready at Dawn's Vita game
GTA Vita
Read Dead 3
Resistance 4
Persona 5
Well, I actually own a Vita and I'm completely satisfied with it's game library so far. It's got a lot of great exclusives. I play it for hours everyday and haven't run out of exclusive games to play on it yet. As a matter of fact, I have a rather large backlog of games on my Vita and I haven't even bought half of the Vita games out currently that I plan on buying.
I could game strictly on my Vita if I wanted to and have more that enough good games to play...
