    Super Stardust Delta is the best downloadable launch game on the PlayStation Vita. It's beautiful, addicting, challenging and very cheap. A definite must-have.

    F1 2011 on the PS Vita is just as disappointing as on the 3DS. The game doesn't play the same as the superior console-versions and visually it's lacking quality.

    Small children get some joy out of brainlessly tapping the screen, but for most gamers it lacks any depth. Moreover, frantically wiping the screen also works, rendering any kind of skill useless.

    The story may not live up to its potential and the audio may lag online, but Street Fighter X Tekken is a great game with some pretty cool new features and an awesome cast.

    This game had a lot of potential but doesn't live up to it. The unresponsive controls and problematic augmented reality keep this from being a fun little experience.

    The augmented reality doesn't add anything and the gameplay consists of shallow quick time events. Nothing interesting here.

    Unit 13 isn't the best and most revolutionary shooter available but prooves that there are many posibilities for shooters on the PlayStation Vita.

    It's almost impossible to find a positive aspect about this game. The gameplay, the graphics and the multiplayer are all just horrible. It's a miracle that this game has seen the light of day. Let's hope the next installment will be developed by people who actually know how a fun sports game is made.

    Gotham City Impostors is a lot of fun to play but sadly offers only a few levels and game modes. If you're looking for an easy to play multiplay shooter, you'll definitely have a good time with this one.

    The absence of an online multiplayer and a bad overall presentation aren't Smash 'N' Survive's biggest problems. The bad gameplay is.

    We can't say it enough: shooting robots apart is a perfect way to kill some time. That's why we're surprised Binary Domain hasn't gotten the media attention it deserves, because this is one hell of a surprise. Granted, there are some things in this game we didn't like. Like the AI of your teammates, the lack of a split-screen feature and the appeal of the included multiplayer. If you like third-person shooters, you will not regret this adventure with Dan Marshall and his team of anti-heroes.

    I Am Alive is a great game and it clearly has its similarities with Assassin's Creed. But don't worry, you'll definitely get that typical survival feeling. Unlike Altair and Ezio, you are not a superhero and have you'll have to take a stamina bar into account. The combination of the AC feeling and the survival theme makes I Am Alive a great game. It's a pity that the controls aren't always as smooth.

    EA Sports succeeds with the first FIFA game on the PS Vita. The footie looks fantastic, plays the same as the console versions and has a lot of content. It's just a pity that the game uses gameplay from FIFA 11.

    Playing MotorStorm RC feels like a crime. For only six euros you get a game that's fun to play, is very addictive, looks great and has plenty of content.

    You can hardly call Journey a game, it's more of an experience. The images are hard to forget and the music is absolutely beautiful. The only disappointment is that the game takes only three hours to complete.

    Alan Wake's American Nightmare provides us with a new story and an arcade mode. It is the arcade mode that stands out and makes us want to play the game over and over. It is however to bad there isn't a multiplayer included. The story is short and it repeats itself but remains worthwhile. American Nightmare is quite enjoyable, but we'd rather play a proper sequel.

    We give developer Rebellion a pat on the back for trying something original in the shooter genre, but it simply doesn't work that well. The story is dumb and so is main character Bryce. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and gets really frustrating, really fast.

    Hustle Kings' controls are a little too sensitive, though the touch controls are nice. Playing pool in real life is much more fun however, as this game lacks atmosphere.

    Oil Rush delivers a new experience within the Tower Defense genre and Unigine Corp. delivers a decent game. The flaws of Oil Rush are the lack of variety and freedom within the game. Despite these flaws, the game is a real brainteaser at times.

    Every Tekken game has a lot to offer, but Tekken 3D Prime Edition doesn't have a lot of content. This makes for one hollow experience.

    SSX
    SSX doesn't have the best graphics and lacks smooth controls, but heck; it's fun. The new features Survive It, Global Events and RiderNet make SSX a worthy purchase. Welcome back, SSX, we missed you!

    Escape Plan looks and sounds like an absolute must-have. It isn't however, as the gameplay is a tad too simplistic and the controls a tad to unresponsive. It's a shame, really.

    This Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 plays and looks just as great as its console-brothers. It does not add anything other than a horrible touch-mode, however.

    Asura's Wrath is, without a doubt, a very special game. We can't recall the last time we've seen so much brutal action on our screen, while we could also lose ourselves in an immersive story. Such spectacle! Besides that, Asura has fought his way to an important place on our list of most memorable characters in videogame history. That aside, you may want to know Asura's Wrath is more like an interactive movie that lasts around ten hours. If you can look past that, you will find a game like you've never seen or played before.

    Avoid this game at all cost! Don't even think about buying this it. FlatOut 3: Chaos and Destruction is pure garbage!

    The Vita version of Virtua Tennis 4 offers the same modes and options as its console brothers. But there lies the problem, there aren't many new concepts that can be enjoyed. However, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is still a lot of fun.

    Syndicate is a really cool game that shines through its great co-op modes. The singleplayer is great, but the multiplayer is where its at. Beware for an action overdose.

    Shinobido 2 starts out as a fun stealth-game but quickly becomes repetitive in both gameplay and environments. It tries to keep us interested by offering many possibilities and a decent atmosphere, but fails to keep the boredom away for to long.

    In essence, Ridge Racer Vita is a pretty fun racer with some interesting concepts. It is sold for a far too high price and with far too little content however, seriously holding back the game's potential.

    Shank 2 has better controls than its predecessor. But it's a big failure that the co-op function has been deleted and the current multiplayer mode isn't all that special. So in short, Shank 2 is a good game, but it could have been better.
