The Vita library grows...

So I picked up a Vita in preparation for the release of Assassin's Creed: Liberation (game on hold due to save game bug), and in the short time I've had it, I have picked up 6 games for it. I gotta say, I really like this handheld. As much I loved my PSP (which until the release of the PSV, was my favorite handheld) I have to say that the Vita is looking to easily be the king. Compare that to the 3DS, which only has a handful of games that I want (Kingdom Hearts: DDD, the upcoming Etrian Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and the obligatory Mario games) the system seems to be really solid.

I added Mortal Kombat today (and it looks to be a great title and seems to fit really nice on the Vita) which take me to a total of 6 Vita titles.

So far I've only beaten one game on it, Uncharted: Golden Abyss which was not only a great game but also a great entry in the series. Looked great, played great and felt right at home on the handheld.

Which brings me to my final point and why I like the Vita so much. As much as I loved the PSP, it seemed that quite frequently when playing a game, on it, I would think, "This would be so much better with dual analogs and on a big screen. As I played through Uncharted: Golden Abyss, my thought was always, "This game feels right at home!" I didn't want, or need it on the big screen. The games on the Vita, feel like they belong there. And that's why I love my Vita.

  1. It's great to hear you're loving your PSV. I don't find myself wanting the system at this time, but it's always a possibility in the future. Cheers!

  2. Congrats on getting your Vita! I also have a hand full of games for it. I love the screen and the dual analog sticks. And I also like being able to get trophies on the handheld.. Golden Abyss has not been beaten by me yet, because I was trying to be very careful and find all of the hidden stuff, and still managed to miss quite a bit! Not sure that I will be able to be a completionist in that game without a strat guide..:)

    1. Regarding Uncharted, you can download that in game guide for only $0.99. If I was ever shooting for the platinum trophy on that, I'd definitely pull that down.
