PS Vita Games

Title	Genre	Description
Army Corps of Hell	Action/Strategy	Remember Pikmin? Well, now add Death Metal and demons and voila! You have Army Corps of Hell. If you've played Pikmin before, it should feel familiar. If not, then you essentially rely on lots of little critters to do your dirty work for you. Utilizes the touch screen well and in a fun way. Its weakness is that a decent chunk of the stages feel kinda "same-y" with little variety, as opposed to the what has been seen in Pikmin (i.e. different stage elements and atmospheres along with level design).
Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend	Fighting	Great fighting game with ridiculously big story mode that will last for hours if you are interested in that stuff. Vita's d-pad is built great for fighters and allows fluid motions for moves so it plays like a charm. Extend version adds Relius as a playable character and story modes for the various DLC characters among other things. Great online mode is also a plus.
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention	RPG/Strategy	An updated port of Disgaea 3 on the PS3. Features all the DLC from PS3 and few new bonuses like two new characters, some characters from Disgaea 4, and gameplay tweaks. A great pick for people who never played Disgaea 3, but those who have don't have much reason to buy this. If you're not in the know, Disgaea games are known for their off-beat humor, isometric tactics RPG gameplay, and extremely deep stat-building systems that can potentially involve lots of time min/max-ing your gear, characters, and so forth. The last part only becomes a necessity in post-game challenges, so don't think you'll need to grind your ass off before then.
Dream Club Zero Portable	Sim/Idol Dating	So far only available in Japan and Korea, and will probably stay that way. Waifu simulator that circles around hostesses from a certain club. Dress, flirt, get drunk, molest, feed tasty vittles, and take shots with cutesy animu wimminz. Thankfully everyone is legal, so it's A-OK, and not perverted (yes it is) or wrong at all. Also, there's like rhythm singan and dancan or something. Catered to otaku and probably only for them. Pretty decent production values surprisingly. Also, you can get friend-zone'd if you mess up. No joke. More info on Wikipedia and the fan-made JP wiki and guide.
Dynasty Warriors Next	Beat 'em Up/Strategy	Solid spinoff of the slash-and-bash Warriors series, based off of DW7. Looks, plays, and sounds almost like it, but is more like a DW Empires entry. The touch screen sequences are a bit forced, but you'll soon learn how to blaze through them (even duels are eventually not much trouble) and reap their bonuses. There's also edit characters to customize and use in Conquest (storyless variant of Campaign, letting you mix-and-match officers) and Coalition (local co-op challenge mode). In addition to the main game, there are also mini-games with in-game bonuses (like a Hex Mark Saddle) and a photo mode (for the scrapbooker in you). DLC is costumes with some different stats and skills. Much more info HERE.
FIFA Football/Soccer	Sports	It's FIFA. It's improved a decent bit from former entries, due to extra work put in on the devs' part. There's a career mode, and optional touchscreen stuff, and pretty competent AI teams as well. Based off of FIFA 12, though this lacks some of the features seen in it. Nothing much more to add, looks great and plays great. Get this shit if you like football, or soccer, if you will, you silly Americans. Will likely get a (hopefully) superior sequel soon, but if you can't wait, here you go.
Gravity Daze/Gravity Rush	Action-Adventure/Sandbox	Delivering a superb experience in every possible aspect, from music to the core gameplay, this is a quality game with a good dash of originality and style. Use gravity powers to float, manipulate objects, run-and-jump on walls, speed from plane to plane, etc. like you're Spider-Man but 50 times better. Fairly long game with a simple, but effective combat system, much boosted by the gravity factor (using Gravity Kick is awesome). Also, has some comic-styled cutscenes, and a non-sensical language for something of a semi-cinematic experience. Has optional DLC costumes and side-quests. Its heavily saturated/stylized graphics can be a bit much for some. Also, vertigo.
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational	Sports	Hot Shots is a pretty fucking good golf series. If you never thought you'd hear golf in that context, then you ought to pick up this game. It's surprisingly quick, easy, and accurate. Touch screen stuff is optional. Great time killer with pretty addicting gameplay. Also, prepare to spend hours and hours playing to be able to buy virtual shit to customize your players. A.k.a Everybody's Golf (or the language equivalent) in everywhere not America.
Lord of Apocalypse	Action-Adventure	So far only available in Japan. Sequel to the Lord of Arcana that improves upon flawed features. Similar to the Monster Hunter in the meaning your main objective is to hunt monsters with friends and create new weapons/armor. Game offers fast paced action and decent gameplay. Also on the PSP, so don't expect amazing graphics.
Lumines Electronic Symphony	Puzzle	PSP's blockbuster puzzler is back and it's the comeback you've been waiting for. Improved everything, addicting like crack and beyond mesmerizing in every aspect, Lumines ES is a must have for any Vita owner. Notably improved from predecessors and adds some optional touchscreen perks to assist you and some new block types as well.
ModNation Racers: Road Trip	Racing	ModNation on the Vita with some new stuff as well. Just like the original, it's a kart game that uses many other features from various Kart games with a customization system on par with Little Big Planet's. This version lets you access oodles of stuff already made by other people, including tracks, karts, and racers. As before, you can make your own stuff, too, but now you have the touchscreens to make it easier. You can also create racing tracks by drawing on the touchscreen as well. If you haven't played any previous versions, this is the one to get. If you have, you might consider getting this during a sale or price drop if you see yourself playing on the go. Be warned, the framerate can tend to drop at times. Here's hoping for a patch.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus	Beat 'Em Up	Good, old Ninja Gaiden Sigma with some new stuff added for the Vita. If you never played it, this is a great opportunity to see what you've missed out on. There's still a few loading times, but they are sparse and don't ruin the enjoyment. Looks great and plays great. Lightning fast enemy killing and balls-to-the-walls boss fights.
Ragnarok Odyssey	Action-Adventure	So far only available in Japan. Monster Hunter-esque game based on the popular online universe from Ragnarok Online. Very solid game featuring colorful graphics and customization system. Game is heavy action based with dashes, jumps, juggles, and dodging. Similar to Monster Hunter, your objective is to kill monsters with friends (or alone), collect materials, and upgrade equipment. Being brought localized in English soon by XSeed
Rayman Origins	2D Platformer	Amazing port of the console version, but unfortunately lacks the multiplayer option. However, if you planned on going solo anyway, the beautiful graphics and silky smooth gameplay with many things to collect and unlock make this a great addition to the Vita's library. You can also zoom in or out to get a better view of levels. Has a ghost race mode where you go against other players' times while their level replay ghost platforms along with you.
Reality Fighters	2D Fighter/AR game	Goofy ass game that uses AR functions to "project" silly custom-made fighters onto real backgrounds (or pre-made ones in the game). The real amusement comes from all the customized character-fighting style combinations and outfit pieces you can find and combine. Lots out of outfit pieces to obtain and wear and some weird ass styles like Mantis, Ballet, Zombie, Sorcerer, Disco, Cowboy, etc. There's also weapons and a bit of DLC to unlock more styles and outfits. Of course, multiplayer is a big factor too. If you liked Photo Dojo for DSi, you'll probably like this. If you seek a more "serious" fightan, you're better off with something like BlazBlue or UMVC3.
Shinobido 2: Tales of the Ninja/Revenge of Zen	Action/Stealth	Sequel to the older game Shinobido. Similar to the Tenchu series with it's setting, stealth kills, and using gadgets. Now with flying kites and super grappling hook. Nice game with some cool features. Lots of assorted jobs to do as well, including, but not limited to: assassination, kidnapping, escort, bodyguard, thievery, and working for and against various factions as a double agent. The game also lets you decide how to finish several missions, be it as a rampaging bastard or a silent but deadly shadow. An important replay factor is that this game has branching story paths and multiple endings to find. May not be as top-tier as other games in the series, but still solid.
Tales of Innocence R	Action RPG	So far only available in Japan. Remake of Tales of Innocence from the Nintendo DS. A complete remake with remade visuals, combat, two new characters, and even some new story elements. Offers standard battle system for the Tales series with also standard convoluted storyline. Pretty good for those interested in Tales series, a bit of a base-breaker for Tales fans, and a potential game of intrigue for those who just want some decent RPG-an action. The DS original has an exceptional fan translation out, so if you actually want to know what the hell is going on in the story you should probably go with that route instead.
Touch My Katamari	Adventure/Puzzle/Ball Rollan'	While it doesn't offer groundbreaking changes from previous entries, it's still Katamari and thus damn good and funky. Improved controls flow smoothly (jump and turn only need one button each, etc.) and also has a new stretch and squish mechanic to get lots of stuff or squeeze through tight spaces. You can also use touchscreen-centric controls (not like you would). For beginners, this is a funtastic starting point. As always, roll your magic cosmic ball to get stuff stuck to it before time runs out (or other stage-based goals). You'll often start small with stuff like toys and cookies, but soon grow enough to roll up pets, people, buildings, and even entire countries!
Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3	Fighting	Babbies first fighter on the go! One of the most astonishing ports in terms of visuals and carrying content over. The only noteworthy weakness is that backgrounds are more static than in console versions. Great online play and Vita's d-pad allow for some serious handheld fighting dose. Best of all, Heroes and Heralds mode allows a good deal of customization for your fighters. With said fighters, you take on other players locally or online with their customized fighters and duke it out. Raw fightan skill is still a big factor in H&H mode, but the customizations you use are also important as well. Just another potential interest to appeal for you.
Uncharted : Golden Abyss	Platformer/Action-Adventure	Looks great and plays just like your standard Uncharted game, but now with touch screen interaction with things. Still it's a great game with pretty decent showcase of what Vita is capable of. Be aware there is no multiplayer but a lot stuff to collect during single player mode. If you haven't played Uncharted before, you might read up a summary before jumping into this.
Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition	Sports	Great tennis game with that nice balance of "arcade/simulator". Not so realistic, but also not too goofy, which means the gameplay is perfectly adjusted for both sides of sports players. Shitloads of stuff to unlock and view. Nice time killer and great addition to this classic series.
Wipeout 2048	Futuristic racing	Awesome racing game set in the (not-so) DISTANT FUTURE. Game looks great on the Vita with extremely vibrant colors and pumping soundtrack. A lot stuff to unlock and smooth online play. It had problems with looooong loading times but that was fixed with a patch. There's cross-platform play with PS3, but only in certain stages. Still, you can regularly multiplayer with other Vita players just as easily as previous games let you with their respective systems.

PSN Vita Games

Title	Genre	Description
Escape Plan	Puzzle	Quirky and stylish puzzle game that revolves around guiding two loveable blobs of dark matter around deadly rooms full of traps. Each has abilities and properties that the other doesn't. Though both humorously tally how many times they've died on their bellies. Responsive and intuitive touch controls that are sometimes way too precise for it's own sake. Extremely nice addition to the Vita's library. Game looks amazing with its monochrome graphics, that feature black, white, and pretty much every damn shade of the two that fall in-between, giving a gorgeously noir-like feel. Has DLC to add on extra stages in a pack called "The Asylum".
Motorstorm RC	Arcade Racing	You thought Micro Machines were gone for good? Well, you were wrong as they returned under Motorstorm RC cloak! Fast paced,crazy and off the bounds RC racing that bring breathe of fresh air with a pinch of oldschool arcade racing. Good amount of content mixed with extremely low price are just too good to pass. Great title that will last you for hours. Also has the DLC "Pro-Am Festival" add-on, which unlocks extra stages.
Super Stardust Delta	Action/Shoot'em up	SHIEEEET. This is the game you must have if you are getting Vita. Shoot asteroids and aliens with your space ship using dual analog sticks control scheme. For such low price you are getting centuries worth of fucking awesome gameplay mixed with badass soundtrack and pure eyegasmic visuals. One of the most fun games in a while.
Sound Shapes	Platformer/Rhythm	Use the touch screens to make musical side-scrolling platformer levels. The types of design and elements created depend on tempo, instrument, and layering. Best of all, you can upload them and download levels from others. Some are good, others are not. Has a campaign mode to unlock more content with each level beaten. Said campaign is fairly short, but has some neat levels, like Beck's stages. While it lacks multiplayer, you seem to be able to download levels made with either version. The price is a bit high, so you might want to wait for a sale or discount, unless you have a PS3 as well, which makes it a bit more fair, since you get both versions for the price of one.
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack	Platformer	Sequel and successor to the PS3/PSN game "Tales from Space: About a Blob". Funny and stylish platformer in which you take control of the titular Mutant Blob. Your objective is to complete levels while gobbling everything and everyone in your sight, jumping, sinking, splitting, and slipping your way through all sorts of stages and obstacles. Comparable to Katamari Damacy and Loco Roco, but still unique enough to contain some aspects that those two don't. Game offers massive amount of content that is just a steal for such low price. Great visuals mixed with addicting and fun platforming. Even if you haven't played the first, there's no stopping you from playing this.

 |Great tennis game with that nice balance of "arcade/simulator". Not so realistic, but also not too goofy, which means the gameplay is perfectly adjusted for both sides of sports players. Shitloads of stuff to unlock and view. Nice time killer and great addition to this classic series.

 |Futuristic racing
 |Awesome racing game set in the (not-so) ''DISTANT FUTURE''. Game looks great on the Vita with extremely vibrant colors and pumping soundtrack. A lot stuff to unlock and smooth online play. It had problems with looooong loading times but that was fixed with a patch. There's cross-platform play with PS3, but only in certain stages. Still, you can regularly multiplayer with other Vita players just as easily as previous games let you with their respective systems.
