    Some rough presentation hides a decently fun game underneath, but a plethora of technical issues serve to pretty much completely ruin the experience. In its launch state, this isn't a Vita title I can recommend.

    Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival fails to recapture the magic of old, and the outdated gameplay combined with a lack of features means this is simply a forgettable arcade football game. Those with nostalgia for the original Dino Dini games might get a few kicks out of this for old time's sake, but most people are probably happier avoiding this one.

    Space Overlords feels like a project too ambitious for its own good - a lot of decent ideas are at play but none developed well enough to make the experience enjoyable, leaving a disappointingly frustrating package.

    Poor performance aside, Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness is just a miserable experience that lacks any understanding of what made the anime it was based off of so special.

    Last Wings is a good 2D aerial dogfighting game that quickly loses its charm after an hour or two. While the gameplay is solid, the lack of content starts to make things feel very repetitive in no time. In the end, the game just feels like it isn't finished yet. It could use a bit more polish for this gem to truly shine.

    A.W.: Phoenix Festa is a title that doesn't know what it wants to be; offering something for everyone, but failing to make all the bits work together in harmony. If tuned properly, this could be an enjoyable title, but as-is it's so easy and/or monotonous at times that it's only slightly better than doing nothing at all.

    Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault is a tower defense game that may have trouble appealing to fans of the genre. It had unique ideas but the game wasn't executed that well. The characters and the voice cast are the only positive attributes but it's hard to recommend any game on that alone.

    Paranautical Activity takes what should be a straightforward idea and fumbles the execution. There are many flaws but really this is a game that lacks any sort of polish. I can’t find any real reason to recommend this game over other far more competent rogue-likes but maybe with more work there could have been a fun gameplay loop here.

    Delta Strike: First Assault is an average combat flight simulator game that will appeal to fans of the genre. The game's level progression will keep trophy hunters busy for hours. Gameplay doesn't feel that fun when compared to other games in the genre and not having any control customization can make the game feel inaccessible to newcomers of the genre.

    Blast 'Em Bunnies is a highly repetitive endless shooter that is DLC heavy and fails to leave a lasting impression. It can often come across as too easy and doesn't offer enough to keep it a fresh and entertaining experience.

    We Are Doomed is a great looking twin-stick shooter that is unfortunately lacking in all other areas.

    Baseball Riot takes what I consider to be a fantastic foundation and then tries to add too much to it, and in turns fails to make the impression that it could have done as a successor to a far superior title.

    Bombing Busters is an uninspired clone at best. It's devoid of any personality or charm to make the game stand out on its own, but at least it doesn't ruin the old-school gameplay we know and love.

    Torque L is a physics-based puzzle-platformer that enters an already saturated genre and brings with it a unique mechanic that does have promise. It's just a shame that the games execution is not as good as the premise.

    Reel Fishing: Master's Challenge did nothing to hook me. I found myself bored within the first few missions and it just dragged on throughout my whole time with it. If you're really into fishing then maybe you can find some joy in this one, but as it stands I won't recommend anyone dive into this one.

    2013: Infected Wars is one of the weaker digital titles to hit the PlayStation Vita, it's too obvious at times that this is merely a port of an iOS game, and an old one at that, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a cheap and enjoyable experience.

    Breach & Clear is a repetitive mess that has no variety in its game modes. Tactical RPG fans may find some enjoyment in this game, but there's no way they'll make it to the end without dying from boredom first.

    Old school players will get a kick out of reliving this classic, but don't expect the new stuff to bring anything but a feeling of irritation.

    Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness and Bananas sounds good on paper but the execution is flawed and that's a shame. It could have been something special using the Vita's great touchscreen but instead falls flat on its face.

    The game's constant grinding of enemies quickly wears thin after awhile and numerous problems with the game make it frustrating to play and even more difficult to enjoy.

    With the removal of the multiplayer you cannot even say that first time FIFA buyers should pick up this version. Previous FIFA games on Vita are cheaper and have online. EA would have created less anger by not releasing this at all.
