    You'll dislike the approach Ubisoft took to the presentation of Michael Jackson in the title, as well as the paltry number of songs on offer, but look past these issues and this is a great rhythm-action title that makes smart use of the Vita's touchscreen.

    Far from revolutionary, Fancy Pants is an interesting, slightly muddled game that still manages to have moments of high-speed brilliance.

    F1 2011 is a great handheld addition to the franchise, although it could really do with an injection of personality.

    A fine example of style and substance, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) is as addictive as it is garishly unique.

    Released into a genre that is perilously close to saturation point, Towers N' Trolls doesn't bring anything new to the table but still promises tower defence fans an enjoyable ride.

    Mediocre stealth action is the order of the day in this forgettable sequel.

    Ugly, unfair, unenjoyable: Asphalt Injection should be headed to the wrecker's yard, not your Vita's memory card.
    • 84 Metascore

    Captivating, elegant, and fiendishly clever, Waking Mars delivers a science-fiction epic that's a delight to explore, and rewarding to play.

    Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is a lousy game. It's never particularly enjoyable, is technically clumsy, and looks like garbage. It may well be the worst game in the Vita's launch line-up.

    Another welcome addition to the eShop's already stellar line-up, The Rolling Western's unique spin on tower defence is as noteworthy as its flaws.

    SpongeBob's Super Bouncy Fun Time is a well-presented and competent Peggle clone.

    Don't Fry The Frog is mildly entertaining, but there are better casual gaming experiences out there.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Ironworm is a good game at heart, but a poorly balanced freemium model seriously undermines its gameplay.

    Pizza Vs. Skeletons is a weird, wildly unpredictable, and thoroughly entertaining roll-'em-up.
    • 78 Metascore

    What appears to be an early '90s throwback racer is, in actuality, an extremely forward-thinking game in terms of simplicity of play, online connectivity, and pricing.

    Housemarque proves what a great home the Vita is for twin-stick shooting thrills with this enduring classic.

    A compelling, never-ending shooter, ZiGGURAT turns the high score chase into a two dimensional art form.

    Tekken 3D nails its formula but doesn't provide much room to show off and flex it. As far as arcade fighters go, there are better, more substantial alternatives now with much cheaper price tags.

    Stupid, glitteringly bright, and a little bit broken, WWE WrestleFest still manages to capture the slapdash drama and violent hilarity of the ring.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Individual, engaging, and brief, Lume is a fitting introduction to what will hopefully become a much bigger experience.
    • 70 Metascore

    A micro-budget racer, with visuals and sound effects to match, yet under the bonnet is a very sophisticated engine.
    • 88 Metascore

    It's a pity that simultaneous multiplayer didn't make it into the Vita version of Rayman Origins, but that doesn't stop it from being an unforgettable platformer from the mind of Michel Ancel.

    Robot Gladi8tor cleverly expands on the Infinity Blade blueprint with FPS freedom and stunning presentation, but it's not quite as polished as Chair Entertainment's offerings.
    • 79 Metascore

    An excellent first shot on target, FIFA on Vita may not pack as much detail and features as the console players, but the combination of slick touchscreen and button controls make it well worth picking.

    Terrible English localisation throws a spanner in the works for Toy Factory. Somebody dropped the ball in the QA dept, which is ironic considering the subject matter.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A great virtual recreation of pool that eases beginners in smoothly and offers up a feature-rich multiplayer mode for the experts.
    • 74 Metascore

    Frobisher Says is an essential PS Vita download that perfectly shows off the console's various functionality.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A lovingly crafted selection of mini-games that will definitely put you in the mood for the real Olympics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A solidly constructed, surprisingly addictive take on the endless-running genre. With dogs.
    • 57 Metascore

    At times, Army Corps of Hell is an adrenaline rush of swift tactical fighting. It's also, however, incredibly repetitive and far too drawn out.
