One year in - the 20 games that defined the Vita - Pocket Gamer

Pocket Gamer's Peter Willington writes: "When you imagine the Game Boy, your mind conjures up Tetris and Super Mario Land. When you wistfully recall the PSP, you start talking Monster Hunter or LocoRoco. With the Gizmondo, you immediately think of... well, my point exactly.

So, what picture is painted in our mind when someone mentions the Vita? Which games are intrinsically connected to Sony's handheld one year into its life? And what does all that tell us about the quality of the system's library of titles?"

I'd have to agree with a lot of these, the Vita is one powerful piece of kit - and is the handheld I continually end up going back to so I can play some gems on the go. Unfortunately Sony haven't really pushed the right aspects of the device, and so we're left with some of the games on this list leaving a sour taste in mouths.

Good article!

Downloading some of them... the free ones at least. q;

I've had some great times with my Vita already, Uncharted, Gravity Rush, LBP, Wipeout, Mortal Kombat and I've just got my copy of Persona 4 through the post :)
Looking forward to using my Vita with the PS4.

I'm buying a Vita tonight from a person on craigslist. I am looking forward to it even though the software isn't there. I generally don't play many portable game and I didn't keep my DS and PSP for long, but maybe this time will be different.
