    An awful game that never should have come out on the PlayStation Vita. Even hardcore racing fans will have a hard time trying to come up with something positive when talking about Asphalt: Injection.

    We've got a few minor complaints, but overall Bioware ends its epic space trilogy in style. Thank you, Commander Sheppard for making an incredible amount of our days in the last few years.

    Too limited to considered great, but still a fun experience for soccer fans with a brain.

    Let's face it: uDraw Studio Instant Artist is a kid's game if there ever was one. That being said, it's a well-made game on a great piece of technology that will provide endless hours of fun for the little ones.

    Now here's a nice surprise! A puzzle game with smooth controls, slick graphics and more than the necessary amount of variation. It's a little short, but don't let that stop you from buying it.

    Well, you won't be bored while playing F1 2011 on your PlayStation Vita, so we guess that's a plus. You will, however, most likely get frustrated with the overall lack of realism, the amount of framerate problems and the incredibly weak graphical presentation.

    There's good games, there's bad games and then there's Smash 'n Survive. We've tried to find something good in Smash 'n Survive and failed miserably, often waking up at night while screaming in terror, thinking of stale PS2 graphics, uninspired gameplay options and a terrible amount of bugs.

    This is a fun little game, consisting of a rather large collection of minigames. It gets repetitive, though, and an annoying save system doesn't do anything to help save the day.

    A cool story draws you into this game and won't let you go until you've seen how it all ends. Beyond that, Binary Domain is a sweet shooter with intuitive controls and a nice, Japanese atmosphere. It's not all gold though, since a lack of in-game depth and a lackluster online multiplayer keep this game from reaching the top.

    Lumines as we've come to know and love it. Once a PSP system seller, now a Vita seller. Some things will never change (even though we would have liked some more content!).

    A great handheld game with a few minor issues. In the end, there's definitely a lack of content and frankly, some minigames are flatout boring. But a great graphical presentation and incredibly smooth controls make this game rise above its shortcomings.

    A few questionable design choices, like your inability to disable auto-aim and a camera way to close on your avatar, keep Unit 13 from reaching the absolute top. This is, however, a very solid shooter that will keep you playing for a long time to come.

    Graphically there's nothing to complain about and in the end this is still good old bloody Ninja Gaiden Sigma. It's just that the touch controls aren't that impressive and the camera tries desperately to become your mortal enemy. Thus the low score.

    This is what Mario on a Sony platform would feel like… without the groovy moustache (and limbs for that matter). It's a shame Ubisoft did not include the co-op though and why implement touch options when it's more practical to use the traditional control scheme?

    A challenging fighter with smooth controls and stylish visuals. You won't find a story worth telling here, but we have yet to find a Blazblue fan who gives a damn. Buy this if you have a Vita and like fighting games.

    The story is well-told and very well-presented. Otherwise, this game's graphics are a mixed bunch. Control-wise, there's just too little player input required to perform the grotesque things seen on screen.

    Let's start with the good: the touch controls work perfectly and this game's graphics are astonishing. However, there's not nearly enough songs and moves to keep Michael Jackson: The Experience in your Vita for longer than a couple of days.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 59 Critic Score
    The controls are great, the overall game isn't. What's that? A paradox, you say? Well, as your sixth grade physics teacher should have told you: these things are a part of nature.

    Even though it's only two hours long, you won't forget playing Journey anytime soon. And more importantly, you won't regret it: this game is absolutely gorgeous, complemented by simple, but incredibly effective gameplay. If you're a gamer with some form of self-esteem, you'll pick this up as soon as possible.

    Damn, this title sounds wrong after a couple of drinks… A lack of innovation, a short runtime and weak graphics keep this game from becoming a must-have. Fans, however, will most definitely enjoy some more Katamari.

    • 67 Critic Score
    A long and fun game, albeit one with a lack of properly executed back touch features and filled with graphical mediocrity. Skipping this will not make your heart skip a beat – we promise.

    The gory, tactical action will definitely gain this game some hardcore followers, but an overall repetitiveness, failing back touch controls and a weak graphical representation keep Army Corps of Hell from becoming a mainstream success.

    Less trashtalking and more hustling would have been nice, but this is definitely the best handheld pool game out there.

    SSX
    It's been a while, but SSX returns with a BANG! EA Canada delivers in almost every way, giving us the best virtual snowboard experience yet. The lack of online multiplayer is the only real downside.

    Since you're essentially buying the same game Capcom has already released twice, owners of the PS3 version won't miss anything essential skipping this. While this is in fact a great handheld fighting game, the touch features throw away any challenge and any skill needed to conquer the stages.

    Virtua Tennis as we've come to know and love it... with very well-implemented touch controls. A must have for Vita owners with a passion for tennis.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A few framedrops here and there, a lack of music tracks and the fact that this is basically the same game as FIFA 12 may be drawbacks. But this is definitely the best football game on any handheld so far and the Vita touchscreen proves an ideal substitute for the normal button controls.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    One of the best Vita launch games and the best puzzle game of 2012 so far, period. It's a shame the touch controls don't always work as well as they should, but overall this is a minor complaint.

    We actually find it hard to come up with any complaints about Motorstorm RC. On the contrary, we feel like we've stolen this game. An extremely low price for a visually strong and extremely addictive racing game? You won't find a better deal anywhere soon.
    • 75 Metascore

    Syndicate is definitely one of the nicer surprises of 2012 so far. The graphics may not be on par with genre toppers like Battlefield 3, but the tactical gameplay and co-op options make for a very entertaining shooter.
