I finally got a Vita a couple of weeks ago ^_^ I'm enjoying it a ton. I would really appreciate some game recommendations as I only have 10 more free games to try before I start buying more than my impulse 3(Tearaway, LBP, Guacamelee). I'll list what I have played so far and what I think about them so you guys can give me the best possible suggestions.
Uncharted Golden Abyss(Physical) - This game is absolutely gorgeous. I also really enjoy using the gyroscope to aim(hardly even use the sticks after cranking up the sensitivity). That being said this simply isnt the kind of game I want to play on the go so I'm just not motivated to play it often. . 7/10
Gravity Rush(PS+) - The gravity mechanics are indeed wonderful. I truly enjoyed exploring the environment with them. I got more fun just playing around with those mechanics and exploring than the challenges and basic combat. I really hope they find more to do in the second cause I haven't felt that sense of fun exploration in a long time but I want other equally fun mechanics to play with and more to do. 7.75/10
PSABR(Physical) - Much like with DMC I'm terribly surprised by how much they got right. What they got wrong sadly outweighs what they got right and includes but is not limited to Meter game makes it needlessly spammy and agressive to gain meter. Killing with Supers isn't as gratifying as using your environment and platforming skills and the higher level supers are too much like smashballs wich I never liked anyways. Bland bordering on ugly UI and character art. Non memorable music. Great core underneath a bunch of bad design choices and a lack of polish 6/10
Tearaway(Physical) - This game should have been a launch game. It makes me smile with delight so often. Most girls I've gotten to play it go gaga over it. So many fun and interesting things and nothing outstays it's welcome it's just about constantly introducing new things. It uses almost every last feature of the Vita in ways that tend to be fun and not annoying. Only thing I could think to complain about is length but since I got it for $20 i'm being more forgiving. 9/10
LBP(Physical) - This does seem to be a return to form. I've only just begun but it already reminds me more of LBP than the sequel which is good to me. I love the emphasis on fun physics things and with touch I can get even more interaction. I see why they say this might be the best iteration of LBP ever and I can't wait to play more. Also purchased for $20 8/10
Rayman Origins(PS+) - Pretty to be sure but I'm not loving it quite the same way everyone else is. I also miss the multiplayer of the PS3 version. 6/10
Guacamelee!(Digital) What another pleasant little surprise. Who would have thought Metroid + Hack N Slash style game play would work so well. Wonderful Theme. fun Moves. First game I beat on Vita. It could use more length and content but what was there is all absolutely wonderful and I also got the game for less than 5 bucks so I'm probably being more forgiving than some might be. 8.5/10
Darkstalkers(PS+) I'm such an old school Capcom Whore. I never played it too much bak in the day but it's nice to see a bold sprite based game from Capcom again. I do feel UMVC3 was pretty dark and muddy. The Horror theme is also a nice change. I love Capcom fighters and was pleased this made it's way on to PS+. 8/10
MegaMan Maverick Hunter X(PS+) Did I mention I'm an old school Capcom whore. I cant believe I used to be able to beat this game in a couple of hours. I love this sidescrolling goodness. I can't wait until I get that 64GB stick. With all those PS1 Megman games I'm going to have a ton ^_^ 10/10
Metal Slug XX (PS+) Another really fun arcadey title to carry around. 8/10
Soul Sacrific (PS+) I do not like this game. It does so much to turn me off. I don't like how grotesque everything is. I loath the lack of exploration, how everything is simply in an arena(even if some of the arenas do look nice). I don't like the control scheme from the lack of jump to the way the triggers are used. So much bull shit lock on when I have two god damned analog sticks to aim. This feels like it was designed for PSP in some ways. 4/10
Hotline Miami(PS+) Very interesting. I've only played a tiny bit but I'm intrigued none the less?/10
MGS HD Collection(physical) Came with the system. I don't really like MGS games. Thier stories are hilarious to watch but I don't really want to play the game to get to the cutscenes. 3/10
