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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Don't Die, Mr. Robot! is a game that is simplistic in design and execution yet difficult to master and harder to put down! If you can get past the look of this game, you will find a challenging and fun time awaits.

    While it has some smaller performance issues, the fantastic open-ended main appeal and gameplay of this modern classic really make up it. Minecraft is a legendary game that is best played on Playstation Vita.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Although Pix the Cat is clearly influenced by games such as Snake, Pastagames' puzzler rightfully makes a name for itself with gameplay that is both challenging and fun.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A brilliant, yet eerie, puzzle-platformer The Swapper is a game that will get you thinking. Simple in its premise yet deadly in its execution.

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

    With great gameplay, challenging enemy encounters, and well put together RPG elements you should grab this game.

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

    The characters are great, the gameplay is smart and the story is both parts touching and hilarious. While the game can have slightly confusing controls and some lackluster features, it doesn't diminish this experience of a funny RPG that has so much content for $39.99.

    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.
