The exosuit launches the series to new, refreshing and necessary heights, giving both single- and multiplayer a major leg up. Let's also give a shout-out to Kevin Spacey, who truly amazes in the role of ultimate bad guy Jonathan Irons.- PlaySense

The Marvel-expansion is the biggest addition, though there's a hell of a lot more new stuff to experience in this Disney-flavoured sequel.

Real golf fans might like the experience, as well as the elaborate level editor that is included.

The Ratchet & Clank games still hold up today. The platform series is a great Vita experience, with beautiful graphics and the characteristic gameplay we've come to know and love. It's a shame the cut-scenes look a little outdated and we don't understand why the developer chose to leave out the multiplayer mode from Ratchet & Clank 3, but otherwise we're very pleased with this handheld collection.- PlaySense

One of the lesser episodes of the season, due to a lack of intense moments and a slight overload of rather dull activities.

The Vita-version of Football Manager Classic 2014 is both a hit and a miss. On the one hand the game contains all the necessary features and the short challenges are ideal for a handheld title.
