    Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
    I'll admit it might be a tough pill to swallow in regards to picking up this game for a third time, but having it in a portable form that's nearly identical to the home console versions is certainly a pretty big plus. Ideally this is for the hardcore fan, or the person who held off buying Ultimate the first time around because they didn't want another version of the game 9 months after the last one released. If you fall into either of these camps, then you should definitely pick this one up. I don't think there's enough here to really blow away any casual fan, but it's certainly worth a look and right up there with BlazBlue as a pretty awesome launch title for fighting game fans.

    Roundout by POWGI
    Of course, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t every bit as addicted to Roundout by POWGI as I am every other word and puzzle game that Lightwood has released. It may not be my new favourite game, but it’s still a solid enough word game that I’ve sunk a substantial amount of time into it already, and I’m quite sure that I’ll be sinking many, many hours more into it as I try to 100% the remaining puzzles too. If you’re the kind of person who loves thinking up word combinations to pass the time, then this is sure to be right up your alley as well.

    Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond
    As with Eat Lead, Blood, Bath and Beyond isn't without its fair share of problems, this time around though, it's more forgiving as this game speaks to the inner child to those of use in our late 20s to mid 30s with its 8-Bit nod to classic shooters that toss in nostalgic references that speak to our Gen X attitudes.

    Neo Geo Pocket Color Selection Vol. 1
    The collection is a great entry way to get some underrated portable fighting game, however the genres being represented are a bit lopsided. The presentation is somewhat underwhelming but you can’t deny the value of the collection versus buying these titles piecemeal. That said there’s still some gems in the NEOGEO Pocket library and let’s hope volume 2 will include a certain crossover card game, that’s all I ask!

    NHL 2K9
    Without the franchise problem, NHL 2k9 would be recommendation with no qualifications.

    Pursuit Force
    The fast paced and varied gameplay, intense soundtrack and attractive visuals should satisfy those looking for a something new and a bit different on their PSP.

    AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack
    What you get here is over an hour and a half of AC/DC at their best and live. The song list is extensive and will please any fan of the band for sure.

    Sega Marine Fishing
    It's not only a fast paced and exciting fishing title, but also one of those rare games that non-gamers and other family members can enjoy as well.

    Attack on Titan
    Omega Force has once again taken a popular license and made it fun and accessible to gamers who may not familiar with a series such as this.

    A tremendous translation of the home console versions.

    Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection
    It’s hard to shake the feeling that Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection almost feels like a history exhibit at this point. We may still be living with its legacy – and to be clear, it’s fun to play these games if you never did the first time around – it’s hard not to feel like it’s been surpassed by a lot of the games it influenced.

    Madden NFL 06
    Not the huge advancement many might expect from a new year and especially a year when they are the only game in town, but the game still plays solid, the rosters are updated, and the new modes may appeal to those coming over from the competition.

    God of War Collection
    It's not perfect, but if you absolutely must have Kratos on your Vita with some trophies, the God of War Collection will more than suffice.

    Capcom Classics Collection Volume 2
    And for those who prefer physical possessions to digitized property, collections like this will always have a place on the shelf.

    Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise
    It's not entirely flawless, packing a bit of aggravation in with its stiff difficulty, and the lack of online play is sort of disappointing, but for $10 I definitely think it's worth picking up.

    MotoGP 3
    The sequel isn’t a major overhaul, but the added tracks and gameplay further enhances an already solid racing series.

    Need for Speed ProStreet
    Pro Street provides tons of race variations such as grip class, time attack, sector shootout, drift races, ¼ mile drag, ½ mile drag, wheelie competition, top speed runs, and speed challenges. The career mode does a nice job mixing up these race variations to help the game from growing stale too quickly.

    Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
    It’s an interesting departure in both tone and gameplay from other FF titles, and certainly worth playing. But I really wish Square Enix had banked a bit less on the packed in Final Fantasy XV demo to sell copies, and more on applying some additional technical prowess to the final package.

    Unit 13
    Unit 13 is a solid final game for the company and is a unique experience as compared to the rest of the existing PS Vita library. It should more than satisfy most long-time fans of the SOCOM series as well as those who are fans of tactical military shooters.

    Dungeon Siege III
    It's a real shame that the online wasn't better implemented; otherwise this would have been one of my bigger surprise hits for this year. Just a few key changes could have made that experience great, and I'm not sure why the developers felt the need to make it so limiting.

    Blue Dragon
    Its biggest issue is that it just drags on for too long without giving you anything to strive for, 3 DVDs worth of dragging on to be exact.

    Contra: Shattered Soldier
    A mind-bendingly tough game that you simply cannot put down.

    Prototype
    It's a lot of fun when you're actually playing, but when it comes the story related material, it falls flat. If you enjoy open world sandbox style games, PROTOTYPE has a lot going for it, and there's certainly a lot of ground to cover through the entire city, and a lot of random stuff to find and toy around with.

    The Last Blade 2: Heart of the Samurai
    It's a piece of 2D history, and one that no DC owning fighting fan should be without.

    Mind Maze
    I wouldn’t say that Mind Maze is some brilliant puzzle game, or even a crazy new take on a durable genre. It’s as basic as they come. But it works, and it’s addictive, and that’s really all it needs to be.

    Glory of Heracles
    Visually the game makes use of 3D to emulate 2D style sprites, and it's certainly a unique look.

    Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten
    Despite its RPG trappings, Defender’s Quest isn’t all that far from your typical tower defense game. Kudos to its developers for wanting to give it a little something extra, but in the end, the game is more or less what you’d expect.

    Pine Hearts
    Pine Hearts is one of those rare wholesome, cozy games that doesn’t try to use an emotional overlay to hide gameplay that’s not very fun when you get down to it – it’s got an emotional core underneath a game that’s fun to play. But it picked up some bad habits from the genre’s lesser lights, and that prevents Pine Hearts from being one of the genre’s true highlights.

    Dead Island
    While Dead Island isn't a flawless experience, I still had a lot of fun with it. It's pretty much the zombie game I had been hoping for, and I'm glad that somebody tackled this open world setting for this particular horror sub-genre.

    The Outer Worlds 2
    Again, it’s hard to say that The Outer Worlds 2 is a bad game, or one that doesn’t offer players plenty to do. It’s undeniably a well-made game. But that doesn’t make it particularly compelling. It offers players plenty to do, and I fully understand how anyone could sink a couple of dozen hours into it – but the whole time you’re playing it, don’t be surprised if you feel like you’re going through the motions rather than feeling super inspired by any of it.
