Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is a game that both fans of the series and newcomers alike will enjoy, so pick it up and jump into the strange and humorous land - this game is one of the best platformers in recent years!

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.

Atelier Escha & Logy is a great blend of alchemy, combat and exploration. The story isn’t very complex but the characters are sweet and charming and you will end up wanting to see all character endings. There’s tons of things to do, items to create and places to explore.

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.

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

After an agonising delay for PlayStation Vita owners, Volume has finally landed on our favourite handheld and it plays like a dream. With great gameplay and a perfect port, Volume on the Vita is a must-own title for any Metal Gear fans and another top-notch title from Mike Bithell.

TowerFall Ascension is multiplayer madness at its finest.

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.

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.

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.

Handball 16 is a worthwhile alternative to FIFA if you're missing a sports game on your Vita this year. It's not perfect and there is certainly room for improvement. Handball 16 is difficult, addicting and fun, but should've including Online Multiplayer as part of the package.

Vibrant, colourful and beautiful all round, Bastion is easily one of the most accomplished indie games that I have ever played. With an enchanting story, great weapons and lots to keeping you playing for some time, it is one of my favourite games ever, let alone on the Vita.

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.

Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is a typical hack-and-slash with an empire management side. Newcomers might be slightly disinterested by the repetitive nature of the game, but fans of the genre will find that it packs quite a bit of content and has a lot of replay value.

It is not short on content and its thousands of levels will keep you busy for days, however after awhile they start to outstay their welcome.

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!

Beautifully presented, brilliantly executed and tremendous fun the only reason for not grabbing Teslagrad is because you already have it or you don't like platformers. One of the most enjoyable Vita titles I have played this year.

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.

Super Star Wars is a fun game that is meant only for fans of the series -- anyone unfamiliar or who dislikes it won't be satisfied. Despite its outdated graphics and puzzling difficulty, players will find a solid experience as they step into a galaxy far, far away.

Super Blackout is a super challenging puzzle game that has an easy to grasp concept to very difficult puzzles. The bare bones approach may cut out any cruft from the game, but it also leaves some features (like sharing user generated levels) clearly absent. Puzzle lovers looking for a great challenge will have to look no further than Super Blackout.

Sword Art Online: Lost Song is an enjoyable game that does have it's flaws.

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.

This game is a blend of tactical RPG and roguelike but unfortunately it's not brilliant at either genre. The story is bland and for a roguelike the gameplay isn't particularly difficult. I really wanted to love this game but unfortunately it doesn't quite work. The game is still worth a try, especially if future patches sort out the many bugs, but there are better games out there.

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.

Norn9 is perhaps one of the less interesting in a recent burst of Visual Novels to hit the Vita, the story seems to take far too long to go anywhere and ends somewhat abruptly. The games main saviour however is the quirky Norn9 Quest mode, which was more interesting than the main games story.

Simply put it isn't for strategy newcomers, and it isn't for an impatient gamer; if you do decide to pick it up and enjoy it, then you'll have hours of content to enjoy.

Organ Trail is an amazing homage to a computer classic.

SUPERBEAT: XONiC is a fantastic rhythm game that uses its roots to its advantage; drawing from DJ MAX experience to create a portable addiction that's accessible to all fans of the genre, and playable (with a challenge) at all skill levels. If you pick up one rhythm game this year it should most certainly be this one!
