Pocket Gamer: This year wasn't so kind to the fledgling PS Vita. Sales weren't too hot, and there were slim pickings as far as games were concerned.
But, hey - when was the last time that a games console did well in its first year? A platform rarely comes into its own until its second year on shop shelves.
And so, in 2013 the PS Vita has it all to play for. But judging by this upcoming games lineup, it may well have it in the bag. (Although we'd really appreciate a price cut, too, Sony!)
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Gary Green said: Today’s review actually comes as a request from a reader who took the time to message me. I’m always happy to listen to requests, and whilst I can’t always accommodate every single one, there are certainly times where I can, especially if it helps readers make an informed decision about where to start with a complex, long-running franchise, and, of course, makes for a fun playthrough for me.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
All of them!
Tearaway, Killzone: Mercenary, Soul Sacrifice, and Phantasy Star Online 2 will all be bought by me this year.
Although PSO2 is free to play lol. And also, I've never played Killzone before, but it looks to be our best bet for a good FPS on Vita.
I just hope some more devs (large, Indie, whatever they may be) will hop on the Vita bandwagon soon. Sony did promise us more announcements this year, can't wait to see what's in store! :)
i have only 2 Vita games yet Uncharted and Gravity Rush
well technically 4 Mutant Blops and Big Sky Infinity from +
but i have still 6 psp games on my Vita that i play
2013 will be huge for me:
Soul Sacrifice
Persona 4 (still not out in EU)
Ys Celceta
Phantasy Star online 2
Warriors Lair
Dragons Crown
Masamune Demon Blade
Guacameele
Retro City Rampage (still not out in EU)
Assassins Creed(wait for price drop)
Ninja Gaiden 1 (wait for price drop)
NinjaGaiden 2
One Piece 2

Killzone not sure yet , if it has a long Sp day 1 otherwise i wait..
Tearaway will be a good game i am sure but im not much of a jump n run gamer as you see above
It isn't really fair is it. The Vita is an amazing machine, far better than any tablet or mobile phone, yet it isn't doing well. Tearaway and Sly Cooper will be great I'm sure.
To me, this list is really sad. There is maybe one or two I would buy.
Tearaway and Killzone Mercenaries! That's what i'm talking about.
