    Taco Master is an extremely fun game. It does have some lag troubles, but despite what you may originally think of it and its apparent content, you'll find yourself finding a groove and having a blast making tacos.

    Difficult, charming, colourful, addictive, frustrating and then some. Tremendous fun and the biggest title Vlambeer have pulled off yet. If you are after all of the above then you definitely want to take a look at Nuclear Throne.

    TowerFall Ascension is multiplayer madness at its finest.

    The BIT.TRIP almost certainly has something for you; however, it also almost certainly has a few games that aren't for you. If you take a look at the games and a few pique your interest, I'd say it's worth your time despite the two or three you won't enjoy.

    Hatoful Boyfriend: Holiday Star is a game that takes the universe of the original and runs it over with a steamroller; taking all the depth out of it, and starting at square one with an odd holiday theme. Unless you're channeling your inner Nikola Tesla in a land of eternal Christmas, I'd advise you look elsewhere for a good time.

    In so many ways the most ambitious Vita LEGO title yet. Despite this it feels a little empty on content and the short story is very disappointing. Marvel fans will enjoy what's here but it could have been so much more.

    Saturday Morning RPG relies heavily on nostalgia, something that works if you're familiar with the '80s but fails miserably if you aren't. It is a decent RPG with a few problems that will turn away hardcore genre fans, but leaves something that the occasional fan will like and blow through with ease.

    A Boy and His Blob is a beautiful and heart-warming game with a classic 2D platformer feel. The game is not particularly long and most of the puzzles are not particularly challenging but its charm and beauty make it a worthwhile experience. The boss fights are fun and some of the challenge levels will keep you busy for a while.

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

    Crypt of the Necrodancer is a game that easily lives up to expectations. Combining rhythm and RPG elements in a way I didn't know could work, the game is addicting and will have you continuously coming back for more.

    Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a blast from the past that has both retained the nostalgia factor, and evolved for modern audiences - offering a roleplaying game that caters to clinging fans and those looking for a new experience alike.

    A unique and fun theatre setting, great dialogue and interesting characters are unfortunately not enough to hide the fact that Foul Play is ultimately quite a repetitive and shallow side-scrolling brawler. Fun to play with a friend and in short doses but is unlikely to keep you engrossed for long.

    Level 22 is an enjoyable and exciting experience that turns what could be a normal everyday problem into a unique and enjoyable game. Although it may be short lived it's definitely worth your attention if you're a fan of stealth games.

    Croixleur Sigma is a fantastic addition to the Vita's library offering addictive hack-n-slash gameplay with stunning graphics and accessible gameplay all bundled into a very generously priced package, it's definitely worth a look if you're looking for something unique from the genre.

    Dreii is a clever game that plays great on the PlayStation Vita. It is just a shame that for a game that relies on teamwork there is hardly anyone to play with. This doesn't mean that you can't have fun on your own, but once you have experienced Dreii's multiplayer, going solo will make the minimalistic stages feel even emptier than they already are.

    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.

    Despite the simplified gameplay elements, Civilization Revolution 2 Plus is an engrossing and enjoyable title, and may well fill that strategy itch you may be having. A lack of multiplayer does impact on its long term lifespan and some may find it too simple.

    UnEpic is an RPG/Platformer with some chops, but some questionable design choices and input issues hold it back. The gameplay is solid for fans of Metroidvanias, but does nothing new to distinguish itself in the genre.

    Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is a fun strategy action hybrid spin off of the popular Warriors series. Players of previous Empires games should be happy with what is on offer here and those who have even a passing curiosity will find their time rewarded well.

    Ninja Senki DX boasts masterful level design, with fun and challenging gameplay ideal for fans of platformers of old. Just don't expect to find anything particularly groundbreaking or unique.

    It’s a shame that the originality and charm of the cut scenes and voice acting get lost in translation when it comes to the main game itself. A Virus Named Tom is in no ways a bad game; it just does nothing to set itself apart from the crowd. Meaning that if you took away the narrative, all that is left is a mediocre puzzler that will unfortunately forever sit in the shadows of the other far superior action puzzle games on the Vita.

    Risk of Rain is an excellent game, though the tiny character size on the PS Vita screen is a major nuisance sometimes. Mop-up bits slow down an otherwise lightning fast experience. Great music and addictive gameplay are the order of the day, however. Features an incredible amount of content for a meager price. An absolute PS Vita must buy!

    It's not a perfect port and a few issues do hold it back from being a 'must have' title, but if you only own a Vita and are looking for something fun and cheap to pick up and play you really can’t go wrong with this game.

    Neverending Nightmares is a game that gets under your skin. It crawls in the shadows after you turn out the lights and will pervade your dreams if you dare to play it just before you go to sleep. A true gem in an oversaturated market of third person horror titles, Neverending Nightmares is a game that deserves your attention.

    The Sun and Moon is an excellent platformer that will make your brain work and give players a challenge that is often missing in modern games. Although the game looks simple, the no-frills approach means that you can focus on the gameplay - and trust me, you'll need to!

    Rocketbirds 2: Evolution is an explosive and humorous take on the action games of yesteryear. Combine that with the visual sheen of a modern title and it sounds like an instant win. However, uneven characters and the hit-and-miss soundtrack wear it down its charm. Extra finnicky controls for precise aiming, large difficulty spikes, and bullet sponge enemies hold it back even further from greatness.

    Azkend 2 is a decent match 3 puzzle game with a short but interesting story to play through, there's nothing really adventurous here and ultimately a lack of interesting content makes it hard to keep coming back.

    Letter Quest Remastered: Grimm's Journey is a really fun blend of side-scrolling puzzle game with RPG elements. It's simple to get into but will keep you coming back time after time to play one more level and level up your cute little Grim Reaper or try to beat your previous score in Endless mode. If you like word games then you should definitely give Letter Quest a try.

    Bard's Gold is a frustrating and rewarding experience rolled into one mostly well executed package. Clever design choices and tight controls make up any of the less polished features present and this rogue-like is definitely worth a play.

    While many will love the more relaxed pace I can't help feel that it now means you're much more likely to notice the unfortunately lackluster battle system. Thankfully the game has some really great characters and a fun revamped alchemy system which helps to make up for this.
