Jarrett from IP writes: "Are you a score chaser, always looking for bigger, better numbers? Are you a shmup die-hard that feels right at home in bullet hell? Are you a indie fiend who can never get enough of lo-fi visuals and chiptune audio? Well, buddy, do I have a PS3/Vita cross buy event for you. If Luftrauser doesn’t get your blood pumping, then I’m afraid you don’t have blood. For everyone else, especially those looking to dip their feet into the indie experience or are looking for a great portable title to dust of your Vita for, then do not sleep on Vlambeer’s latest – and dare I say greatest – offering."
Gamemoir's Ana likes to de-stress with LUFTRAUSERS because it makes her feel clever.
Smaller games deserve your attention just as much as the big hitters do.
Hohokum appears to be (for me) the only glaring omission. Saying that, 101. A wonderful Wii U title which - while flawed - did a hell of lot more right and wrong. Ironic that the self-proclaimed 'hardcore' ask for Nintendo to release new IP's, then when they do, yes, you guessed it, they continue to be the same old chav fodder.
2014 wasn't Vita's greatest year with the slowdown of Triple-A releases and the lack of units sold. It did provide with a set of great games though! That's what Night Tripper's will cover today when we look at the best of the best for Vita in 2014. Once again if you have any suggestions or comments leave them below and I'll surely take a look! Thank you everyone and have a wonderful day! :)
DanganRonpa and Freedom Wars are already modern classics. Nice list ;)
Looking forward to play Persona 4: Dancing All Night on the Vita this year.
This is a terrible list. I agree with Final Fantasy X, Minecraft, and Child of Light. The rest are good games, but are rather average and nothing spectacular. Borderlands 2 and some of the other HD collections were the only real highlights for Vita for 2014. I hope 2015 is better than 2014. When one struggles to find top 10 for the year, that is not a good sign.
Vita had a great 2014, but I don't agree with this list. The Ratchet and Clank Collection was my favorite game in 2014 on any console (and I have them all). It was a blast to replay Up Your Arsenal, my all time favorite game. After Ratchet I would have to go with Borderlands 2 and the Sly Cooper Collection. Amazing that none of those 3 games made this top ten list. Velocity 2X was also good.
Tales of Hearts R should be on the list, it is a fantastic Vita title for 2014.
