    Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ is an otome visual novel that has a lot more depth to it than you might expect. The stories are intricately interwoven, the characters are varied and well developed, and the setting is fantastical and unique; all adding up to an experience that you'll never forget - whichever suitor you choose.

    It's not as good as the previous titles, yet still manages to offer a well rounded experience. If a lack of online isn't an issue for you and you don't mind the lacklustre presentation then you'll probably enjoy this but WRC 4 is far superior.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II is a gorgeous game that showcases just what the PS Vita is capable of. Big, epic and fun gameplay just about manage to overshadow its repetitive, button-mashing gameplay.

    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.

    Rally Copters has the foundations to be a great game, if some changes were made to. However, its horrid difficulty curve and lack of levels bring it down from what it could be. You will most likely enjoy your time with the helicopter simulator, but you won't leave a lasting impression in your Vita catalogue.

    Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is one of the most unique and incredible experiences I've ever had on the PlayStation Vita, it may be incredibly short, but at the same time it never overstays it's welcome, absolutely astounding.

    Some players may be put off by the difficulty of Super Meat Boy, but if you stick with it then the sense of achievement when you overcome a tough level will keep you hungry for more!

    Heroes of Loot has some fun, enjoyable moments. However, it isn't for everyone, and those that it is for may not find much to do once they finish it.

    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.

    It's difficult to call Plague of Shadows an essential expansion to the Shovel Knight experience, but if you're seriously craving the need to play through the game and experience it in a different way then this is worth a look. However, if you don't want your fond memories of the original game tarnishing at all then it'll be best to avoid this one.

    Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a game I will be constantly going back too. It will fill you with a nostalgic joy if you're a fan of the series but even if you're not there's still a great story and solid gameplay to have fun with.

    Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is a fantastic title for its most diehard fans. For those who aren't familiar with the universe and are looking for a deep fighting game, perhaps Dengeki Bunko will not quench that thirst.

    Pumped BMX+ is a great addition to the PlayStation Vita. Although some people may be put off due to the fact that it originates from a mobile title, if you look past this you will find a game that plays like a cross between OlliOlli and Trials - which is no bad thing! Pumped BMX+ doesn't need these comparisons though, as on its own it stands out as great game that is perfect for gaming on the go!

    With interesting and amusing characters, great game play and some truly beautiful visuals and soundtrack it is one of the best games on the system and I assure you that it's a great way to pass the time.

    Dungeon Travelers 2 is not a game for those wary of fanservice or afraid of challenges; but if you’re into either of those, this could just be the game you’ve been looking for all along.

    The Quiet Collection is a bundle of four short but charming adventure games. With clever puzzles and an adorable story line these games manage to pack a good amount of fun into a very small package. The highly pixelated art might be a turn off initially, but The Quiet Collection is a game whose beauty in on the inside.

    One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 is a musou game in a similar vein to the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series - but that should not put you off this title. Sure the combat can get a little repetitive at times, but if you take the time to learn the combos and have the slightest bit of interest in the One Piece world then you will find something to like with this game.

    Shutshimi: Seriously Swole is a game that is worthy of your time if you enjoy shoot'em ups. It'll hold your attention till you beat it, but that's about it. This game, however, does not hold the power to convert a non shoot'em up fan to being a loyal disciple. It's a skip if you are one of these people.

    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.

    Amnesia: Memories was my first foray into Visual Novels and has left me wanting more of from the genre, its unique story and interesting cast will keep you entertained and hooked on the game, with multiple ending and several unlockable bonuses Amnesia: Memories is a worthwhile addition to your Vita collection.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Ultra Despair Girls to anyone who has played the first two games in the series - it may not be exactly what you're used to, but it fits so well into the universe the games have created that the differences won't negatively effect your enjoyment at all... and may even enhance it.

    Nova-111 is a fantastic game that fans of strategy/puzzle games will love. With a great concept, and a challenging but fair learning curve - you will find yourself having many 'eureka moments' when it all clicks into place and you begin to master the many mechanics that this game perfectly molds together!

    It might draw inspiration from several games, but rarely does it feel like those pieces come together in a fun or cohesive way.

    Don't let the difficulty scare you. Curses N Chaos is a fantastic game that takes pride in kicking the crap out of you, hoping that you'll come back for seconds. No matter how many times you will fail, you'll tell yourself "one more run".

    The Bridge has many flaws, ranging from its difficulty curve to how it introduces its mechanics -- or lack thereof. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone, unless you are really hungering for a game to play and this is your last option.

    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.

    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.

    Velocibox is an incredibly difficult and addictive endless runner that is as fun as it is frustrating. This game is not for the amateur hour and novices should probably steer clear.

    The Blazblue series is a very technical fighting game that new players may find too daunting to give a try. However, Chrono Phantasma Extend is a very accessible game packed with loads of content. Newcomers to the series, returning veterans, and even those who have never played a fighting game before can all find some fun within it.

    For those of you who have never played a Deception title, The Nightmare Princess is a fantastic entry point for newcomers with tons of content and replay value. But for those who have previously purchased Blood Ties, aside from the new quests, there is nothing here that's worth the full asking price.
