ON-THE-GO GOODNESS PS VITA HALL OF FAME
TEARAWAY
Peerless platforming using PS Vit Vita’s ’ raft of touchscreen/touchpad controls to surprise and delight you for hours on end. Full of whimsy, charm, and enough personality to put most games to shame, Tearaway’s papercraft world remains Vita’s most vibrant title.
PERSONA 4: GOLDEN
This thoughtful and unique JRPG epic gives you another stab at high school – only this time with murderous intrigue and psychological superpowers instead of nerves, acne, and an unpredictable vocal register.
RAYMAN LEGENDS
Rather than losing its lustre during the move to PS Vita, Ray’s second slice of sumptuous sidescrolling Lum-collecting is even better played on handheld. Touchscreen gestures make this fine platformer all the sweeter.
VELOCITY 2X
This ludicrously enjoyable puzzle/platformer hybrid should come with a health warning. The 50 levels always feel fresh, and so joyous is the sidescroller’s twin-stick teleporting, there’s a danger you’ll smile your face clean off the bone.
LITTLEBIGPLANET
Sackboy’s back, smaller but just as lovable as ever, on a mission to defeat a rogue puppeteer. His platforming antics work perfectly on Vita, and the new control inputs complement the level creator brilliantly. Also: d’awwww.
