Murasaki Baby is a short-yet-sweet adventure into what can only be described as a child's nightmares. Although scares and frights are ahead for Baby, a fantastic escape into a bizarre world that will stay on your mind long after it ends awaits for you.

The changes implemented are breath of fresh air, the story is very funny at times and is interesting enough to keep playing for dozens of hours.

A game that is definitely stuck in the past. With a crude and crass lead character that definitely does feel out of place in the 21st Century, the saving grace for this title is that the level design and gameplay will keep you hooked.

A standout combat system with deep customization, this game could've really been something special had it not been for the mediocre state of most everything around it.

An original take on the genre, Metrico is a shining example of what can be achieved with the Vita's hardware and a must-buy for puzzle fans.

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.

Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart is not groundbreaking in any aspect - but if you’re into fun, lighthearted RPGs with a certain depth of gameplay then look no further.

Its gameplay focuses on short, fast-paced playthroughs for on-the-go play. If you've been itching for something similar to Spelunky, but also love the Mystery Dungeon series and the JRPG genre, One Way Heroics is a neat combination of all three.

A great RPG experience with a ton of content, a ton of room to grow your fully customizable character, and many different battle styles and areas to explore - you'll be playing this one for a hundred hours before you get bored... easily. My only real qualms with the title were cosmetic, so despite the fact that the game isn't perfect it's still one I'd whole-heartedly recommend.

Invizimals: The Resistance takes all the fun of its predecessor and improves upon it. The game provides a wealth of content and gameplay that is both exciting and fun. The heavy reliance on augmented reality will be a turn off for some, but for fans of the series, it doesn't get any better than this.

With a great combat system, tons of customization options, some great characters and a few hundred missions to go through, Shinovi Versus is a must have for anyone who enjoys great combat - as long as they're not overly sensitive to fanservice or sex jokes.

Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is a great fighting game with colorful graphics and a great soundtrack. If you like the retro look and the feel of an old school fighter this is a must have.

You don't have to be a fan to One Piece to enjoy it. Sure it helps, but I found it fun regardless.

Some people are always going to look down on this series because of the mini-games and the sadomasochistic theme. But don’t worry, the game is very quick to point out at the beginning that it’s all completely consensual.

It features a huge amount of content and brings various modes to keep you busy. The few minor graphical errors aside, this game is great.

Magical Beat could have been a really fun music puzzler, but with overly powerful A.I. it becomes more of a frustration then a fun experience.

Re;Birth 2 is a great JRPG and fans of the series will be happy to return to Gamindustri on the PlayStation Vita - but the themes and the style of the game won't be for everyone.

Aqua Kitty DX is a fun and repetitive game that is somewhat hard to recommend - it certainly has some challenge for the hardcore gamer, but the presentation leaves a lot to be desired.

Squares is a fun, challenging game that is worthy of your time. As long as you don't expect it to hold your attention after completion, you won't be disappointed in the experience.

Citizens of Earth is a game that spends too much time trying to feed on people's notalgia then trying to be unique or fresh. An old combat system is reborn, but then instantly gets old again. It also offers far too much in the way of side quests that the games main quest, which never seems to pick up anyway, even more forgettable.

Adventures of Mana proves to be a fun trip down memory lane, however archaic design choices leave you wondering what could have been rather than what you have. It acts as an interesting history lesson as to where the roots of the Mana series began, but unfortunately it amounts to little more than that.

Desert Ashes is a game for strategy game virgins and beginners. Even with some of it's simplistic scenarios, you will be acclimated to the genre easily, and it will leave you with a hunger that, sadly, it cannot fill due to its short length.

Lichtspeer takes a simple idea and makes it colourful, challenging, and fun. Its quirky humor will win you over, and there's some addictive high-score chasing to be done, but some frustrating encounters may detract from an otherwise impressive package.

Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy has all the makings for a great RPG, but there are many design choices that prevents it from succeeding. For many dungeon crawler RPG fans, Operation Abyss will be enough to wet the lips, but not quench the thirst.

IguanaBee hit the nail on the head of creativity and capturing my attention with their unique character and world design. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the gameplay, which is unusually redundant for such a short game.

Period: Cube has an interesting setting and gorgeous design, but is weighed down by some odd choices in content. Refreshing mechanical additions to the visual novel genre are much appreciated, but after fully completing the game you probably won't be itching to come back for more.

Addictive, challenging and most importantly fun to play, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is an ambitious sequel which excels in its story telling, artistic style and soundtrack, Bloody Brilliant.

Kick and Fennick is easily one of the most exciting new IP's to hit PlayStation Vita, and as Jaywalkers Interactive's first release, is a very impressive effort. Be sure to pick this up and play it, you won't be disappointed!

With a beautiful art style and highly infectious soundtrack, Futuridium EP Deluxe is a challenging shoot 'em up which just feels right on PS Vita.

Adding a creative spin to the done-to-death Match-3 puzzle genre, NekoBuro: CatsBlock is a fun, addictive and down right adorable puzzler bursting with colour and charm.

The amount of content for the price offers a great amount of value, but the consistency in quality just isn't there.

With a decent story and a lot of replay value this title could last you a while and is available at a sensible price, but it's not without its issues and will take up a huge chunk of your memory card. However, it is worth playing and if you enjoy and want more games like these on the Vita then you should consider supporting it.

Trillion is not a game that will be to everyones tastes, it is unique and fun to play, but many players may find that it's trying to hard to be too different and therefore complicates itself, but if you're looking for a JRPG or SRPG with a unique spin then Trillion is definitely worth a look.

Sketchcross brings a new type of logic puzzle to the Vita, and while these nonograms start off interesting, they eventually become a frustrating guessing game. Some odd design choices are confusing, but when the puzzles work the game is solid.

Crimsonland is a fun top-down shooter and is a great experience on the PS Vita; there is a lot happening on the small screen and the short campaign levels are perfect for playing on a handheld. The survival mode is a lot of fun and the reason to keep coming back.

Xenoraid is a competent shooter that brings some interesting ideas to the table. Missing co-op renders the Vita port inferior to versions on other platforms.

A beautiful game that absolutely nails its themes and atmosphere.

Akiba's Trip is filled with the things an otaku loves; strange plots, fanservice, Japanese culture/references and a great location. What it doesn't offer however, is a lot of depth, an overly lengthy story line or any shame.

Jet Car Stunts is a challenging and addictive platform racer. It is visually stunning and brutally difficult. It is a thrill to play that would benefit from some added content. It's not a traditional racing game by any means, but it is full of frustrating fun.

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.

Table Top Racing is exceptionally good fun, alone or with friends.

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is a nice addition to the Vita’s library, and is different from most games that are being released for the system lately - just don’t expect to be too impressed; ghosts exist, and middling games as well.

Element4l is a beautifully conceived platformer that presents a charming experience with a few flaws that ruin the game's flow.

Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers is a brave attempt to take the over the top action of Dynasty Warriors and combine it with more strategic type gameplay. The result is a good - if unrefined - strategy game that is more than enough to scratch that tactical itch.

One Piece: Burning Blood is a good fighting game that will appeal to fans of the anime whilst still being simple enough for newcomers to pick up and play. Although the game's story mode is rather short, there is plenty here to keep you entertained and ensure you will be satisfied during your stay in the One Piece world!

If you can overlook its technical issues and unsavoury presentation, you just might enjoy yourself. Those with an appetite for addictive, challenging gameplay and a mass amount of replay value will be more than satisfied with their zombie-infested helping.

Good old-school adventure gameplay with very little else to be admired in its other aspects. For those who love unabashed, lowbrow humor, Demetrios might be the game for you. But if compelling narratives and likeable characters are more your thing, perhaps you should look somewhere else.

If you're looking for an introduction to the beat 'em up genre, look no further - as MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies is a prime choice for just that very purpose. That said, anyone else may have a hard time finding a challenge, and the story just isn't all that cohesive or memorable.

While Bon Appetit! may not be up there with the likes of Project Diva and DJ Max, it carves its own little niche into my playlist with a unique blend of fanservice, originality, customization and rhythm.

Phineas and Ferb: Day of Doofenschmirz is a decent platformer which is sadly surrounded in repetitive and tedious gameplay, while its nice to see a licensed game from an established franchise on Vita, this one sadly fails to meet the sum of its parts.

It's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, but its short duration and uneven difficulty doesn't match up with its unique world.

Sure, it doesn’t push the hardware particularly well and won’t last you forever, but it is quite fun and entertaining.

The story could use more depth and the framedrops are a bit annoying but easy to forgive. The online multiplayer is a great way to extend gameplay and works very well.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive had the makings of being one of the all time greats for the PS Vita but technical problems prevent the game from achieving that goal. But if you can look past the problems, there's a fantastic story that's there for long time Corpse Party fans.

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.

BigFest is a welcome addition to the Vita library, especially with the management-sim genre criminally neglected on the handheld. The premise is simple and is executed extremely well. The game will certainly get people hooked once they start playing - although for how long is a question that only time will tell!

It follows in the formula of the games before it with lots of challenges to complete and objects to find, but the story is a bit obscure if you're not already familiar with the source material.

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.

In all, htoL#NiQ is a decent platformer that is wrapped in a truly beautiful and terrifying experience.

Flyhunter Origins has well-written characters and fun level-design, but performance issues hold it back from being a great PS Vita platformer.

All in all MS Gundam Extreme VS-Force is a decent action game with plenty of content to get stuck into. Some of the execution could do with refinement and don’t expect an enthralling story but on the whole there is an enjoyable experience here that is definitely worth a look if you’re interested.

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.

MeiQ is a dungeon crawler with a fun battle system and tonnes of customising options for your party. The poor story, large amount of backtracking and lack of fulfilling side quests really let the game down though. It's fun but there are better dungeon crawlers out there.

Hollow Realisation is a game that is very much nearly there; if the main storyline had higher stakes, more interesting quests & events and gameplay that didn't get stale after a few hours, it could very easily have been fantastic.

An endless runner that manages to trip over itself more than it manages to succeed.

A crazy and charming beat 'em up that is fun to play in short bursts. The gameplay begins to become repetitive quickly but a wide variety of customization options helps to make things laughably fun. It's a lighthearted good time that manages to not take itself seriously at all.

Criminal Girls feels rather simplistic for its nature, but it may be enough to scratch that RPG itch for some gamers.

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.

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.

While Dragon Fantasy Book II is far from a bad game, it doesn't quite live up to its predecessor. The story is hilarious and characters are great. Even the graphics are good with the new models allowing for more expression, but the buggy combat system ultimately weighs the whole game down.

Farming Simulator 16 returns to the Vita, and it's bigger and better than ever. A number of small tweaks and additional features makes it the best portable farming sim yet. But those improvements come with a steep price tag, and the improvements are probably not enough for an upgrade. Still, for people looking to jump in to a relaxing and long farm management game, Farming Simulator 16 is a good place to start.

HTR+ is a beautiful and authentic looking slot car simulator that brings all the excitement and fun of racing to the PS Vita. However, because of its flawed controls and lack of multiplayer, that fun and excitement doesn't last long. HTR+ can be fun in short bursts, but the thrill quickly wears off.

It definitely shows that the two genres go well together, but the execution in this game didn't quite reach up to the great potential it has.

Certain design decisions make the game difficult to navigate and frustrating to play. The fact that the controls and be inconsistent and non-responsive at times doesn't help matters. Still, it does do a decent job of replicating the board game feel of the original game while providing an interesting take on multiplayer that adds a bit of fun.

AeternoBlade is a side-scrolling action RPG that is rife with potential but is burdened by a flawed control scheme. While the platforming and puzzles can be interesting from time to time, the frustrating controls drain any enjoyment that could be had. Things get better as the game progresses, but it never gets to where it needs to be.

Despite Dex having some slightly repetitive gameplay and awful shadow effects it kept me gripped throughout because of it's dark gritty setting and many interesting characters. If the game ever gets a sequel then I'd definitely want to return to Harbour Prime.

A colorful and beautiful side-scrolling platformer that suffers from a lack of challenge. Guiding this wonderful cast of characters through different movies has its moments of fun, but ultimately the whole game needs a script change.

Exile's End is a decent, if forgettable, game. It's the kind of game most people will spend an afternoon or two on and then eventually forget about. If you're craving a retro-style action game it might be worth giving this a try, but otherwise there just isn't anything here that hasn't been done before, and better.

Gravity Badgers tries to differentiate itself from Angry Birds in Space. Whilst it does offer some interesting ideas, including the boss battles, for the most part the game is an uninspired clone with weaker core mechanics than its peer.

The Walking Dead: Season Two is every bit as good as Season One content-wise, but suffers from a few technical issues that could use some polish.

The ability to customize numerous racing factors allows the player to tailor the game to his racing style.

Finishing Entwined is a bittersweet experience. One on hand I was happy to have escaped the extremely repetitive gameplay, while on the other hand I just felt that with a little more variation, Entwined could have been so much more.

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.

The perfect way to play Don't Starve. It works beautifully on the Vita, aside from some slow loading, and complements both short and marathon sessions wherever I may be - it's safe to say that Don't Starve: Giant Edition may never leave my Vita memory card.

A great premise can't disguise its flaws. Race the Sun tries to stand out from the crowd, but struggles to rise above the horizon.

Nidhogg is a wild and frantic fighting games that takes gameplay to the extreme. Its ultra-retro graphics provide a unique look that stands out in a crowd. The game shines as a local multiplayer fighter but drops dead when it comes to the single player campaign.

The Unfinished Swan is a delightful game that feels at home on the PlayStation Vita. Although the game is lacks a little in challenge and length, it certainly makes up for it in charm and presentation. The Unfinished Swan is a beautiful game that deserves to be played and enjoyed.

Crazy Market is a fun and interesting game, but is hindered by slight technical issues and the presence of microtransactions.

A fun and clever puzzle game that will haunt your mind. Beneath its simplistic look is a game full of charm and challenges. Glitchy Pixel's slow paced puzzler is a great addition to the Vita's ever growing library of games.

The definitive version of Retro City Rampage, Retro City Rampage DX takes everything that made the original game fun and improves upon the areas that made it not so fun. With a lot to do and so many pop culture references to spot, this is a game that deserves to be taken (yet doesn't take itself) seriously.

Ring Run Circus is a fun and clever puzzle game that will make your head spin in circles. It's constant looping action and off-the-wall humor make it a blast to play, and the unique game mechanics provide just the right amount of challenge. Though it's not the biggest game under the big top, it is definitely one that should be featured in the center ring.

With a great story, great characters and more variety than The Walking Dead this is certainly worth looking at but has a few niggling performance problems and is quite short. That said, fans of Telltale Games and Fables will love it.

If you love Tower Defence titles then it's a no brainer. Great design, very addictive and the score challenge mode will have you playing for ages.

There is certainly a good game in Switch Galaxy Ultra, it is rather addictive and fantastic on a visual level, but it's likely that you won't want to spend much time with it as it is a fairly repetitive game with not much variety on offer. Perhaps use your reflexes and scoop this up when it's at a cheaper price point.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is a standout in the series for the Vita and raises the bar for what a LEGO can be. It has a fun story that weaves together the various superheroes and villains from the DC universe in a clever way, and the humor is spot on. It's a fun to play game that provides hours of action and treasure hunting.

SpongeBob HeroPants is not a hard game. It's not a long game. And it's not a very well polished game. It is however, a light and fun platformer that's easy to play when the game's technical problems aren't causing frustration. The kids will probably enjoy it more than their parents, but there's a little something for everybody in this game.

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.

Helldivers comes to our Vita falling a little short in terms of graphics, but luckily it's all about that gameplay; which is top notch. If graphics really aren't a deal breaker for you then I would highly suggest diving into this one.
