The Top 10 Games On PlayStation Vita

The PlayStation Vita is a handheld console that can host a wide range of genres and niche games. This system is great for adventure gamers and JRPG fans. The system has some great games. We have also included some familiar and new faces.

Sony seems to not be as enthusiastic about the system’s support as when it first launched. But it is far from an empty desert. Japanese developers made use of high-end mobile specs to produce stunning RPGs. Indie developers also found a space to share their more quirky ideas. Vita has a lot of different gameplay, so we highlight some highlights.

Below are Game Informer’s Top 10 Games on PlayStation Vita.

“[T]Mutant Blobs Attack stands out from the crowd with its easy-to-follow difficulty curve, constant inventiveness and new tricks. DrinkBox delivers on the Vita’s promise for platforms fans new and old, unlike some of the more hyped titles. – Bryan Vore

8. Velocity 2X
“Futurlab’s stellar game is challenging and unusual, and its complex controls are demanding. Velocity 2X might not appeal to novice gamers. But, it will be a delight for experienced players because of its variety gameplay, sparse design aesthetic and speed. – Matt Miller

7. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
This dark story is a great example of how games can keep your attention focused. It’s not easy to make a videogame so compelling, but that’s Danganronpa’s greatest strength. Every case had me surprised and captivated. I also found the culprit challenging. Danganronpa shows that interactive stories can be more exciting, even when presented in such an bleak setting. – Kimberley Wallace

6. Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward
“Virtue’s Last Reward kept me addicted, challenged, and constantly guessing. It is the sequel to 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors and it continues to live up to the original. Don’t let this one pass you by; VLR is one of my favorite games this year.” – Kimberley Wallace

“Persona 4 Golden’s greatest strength is that everything fits together seamlessly, from the connected battle and social aspects to the fresh changes. For series veterans, there will be fond memories that they can revisit and new content to share with them. New users are certain to find lots to enjoy. This game still remains one of the best RPGs to date; don’t miss out on your second chance to experience it.” – Kimberley Wallace

4. Guacamelee
Guacamelee, even with all its platforming problems, is an outstanding addition to the genre. It retains important elements of the genre and introduces many new additions. I spent seven hours on the campaign, with a lot of secret-searching. You move from adventure to next with a great pace that doesn’t leave you feeling bored or bloated. You can now suplex your Vita or PS3 with this game. – Bryan Vore

3. Sound Shapes
“I’m surprised by how personally involved I became in the journey of a tiny little ball with a dot on it. Sounds Shapes has a lot of great features, but it’s the unique music that fills each stage and moves you forward that really sets the game apart. – Kyle Hilliard

2. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD
Final Fantasy X remains an entertaining RPG. It tells a riveting story, and it has plenty of momentum, even after all these years. The battle system works well and is fast, despite the fact that X-2’s crazy girl-night-out antics might make you chuckle. This collection includes the whole story of Final Fantasy X. The games can be played even without nostalgia lenses. – Kimberley Wallace

1. Tearaway
“It’s a journey worth taking, and just when you think you’ve reached the end, you encounter a surreal third act that cemented its place as one of my favorite games of the year. Tearaway deserves to be among the many blockbuster games and consoles competing for your attention in 2011. It definitely deserves it. – Matt Helgeson
