Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you I’m a pretty big advocate for the Vita. It's my favorite handheld game console of all time, and I take it everywhere I go. It’s powerful, the screen is beautiful, the interface is slick, and there are a ton of awesome and unique games. By all accounts I should be excited for the Spring release of Borderlands 2, but Vita history and what we know about the game so far has left me extremely pessimistic. If BL2 on Vita is a good port, it will be a miracle.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

Nice read. I think there's two important factors into the prevalence of this game: what this article discusses, and the actual title of the release. Review scores will be a large factor in getting people to buy this (and potentially Vitas as well), but the name of the game will also sway people's minds.
How many people will ignore the title "Borderlands 2" because they already own it or played it on another platform? Conversely, the name of the game might draw old fans of the series in, knowing how addictive the gameplay is. I'm not quite sure how much the name will influence things, but it's interesting to consider. Would a separate subtitle helped out more?
I really don't understand how a port of a game released two years ago is going to be a saving grace for the Vita. If this game would have released sometime close to the launch of the sequel then I could see where the hype might be good.
Is it that hard to make a game for the Vita instead of giving us games we could get used on Ps3 for cheaper?
They should have cross play it with the PS3. It's already available on the PS+ sometime ago.
or..........it could just be a port nothing new to see but a great game none the least
