Looks fairly interesting, and i like the idea of trying to maintain the circle of life. It'll be like The Lion King... ;)

Not sure i like the idea of having to go outside to get creatures though :(. Haha

At least Europeans will have something to play tomorrow, between this and SunFlowers.

Bug @Playstation if you have twitter.

If not, bug them in the Store comments section later. Or bug Morgan (he has an account here)

Dissidias multiplayer is just amazing. It reminds me of the fun you get from halo/smash bros because you get to create your own game types. Me and my friends put in like 4 hours playing this game. The one hit K.O.s "ex centric" match ups were sooooo fun. I recommend the game to any vita owner.

It looks just so good for being free, I can't believe they didn't gave the game more serious treatment and go to retail, looks like a good game for kids and the crowd that likes farmville.

Anyway, most hyped release for my vita since gravity rush.

Ecolibrium looks pretty cool, I'm liking these free apps they put out.

Also, Ridge Racer Type 4 on sales, this is what I was waiting for, can get a whole other game with the savings.

Never played either of them, sorry Dannio.

Agreed, it looks like there is a lot to it for being free. I can see them releasing a lot of content packs for it as microtransactions... lots of different animals and stuff.

The design looks consistent and not over the top (Invizimals, I'm looking at you) and has that Spore vibe that I love.

Also, mineral patches from Starcraft! zomg

Dont know why companies dont just port their crap for easy money, terraria and minecraft are nice fits for Vita, and they cant be too hard to port given the hw on the vita.

Been playing Gravity Rush. Some thoughts:

+ beautiful, amazing environment and style
+ gravity mechanic is fun and never gets old for me
+ fun to explore and search for gems
- music, while well done, gets very repetitive after a while -- needs more variety

I haven't been trying to advance the story much; just having fun looking around for gems and grinding. For certain types of gamers, this game could be a system seller for the Vita. It's an experience you can't find anywhere else, and for the most part it works very well.

2 IMO. Unfortunately in the US we can't actually buy the RE's on Vita (yet). But if I could I would get RE2.

I loved the game, I played the game with no rush (no pun intended) and could't stop playing till the end of the main game and all the DLC.

Don´t go out of your way to grind for gems because you don´t need to do that, I had fun going on my own way and follow the clusters of gems as they appear. SO much fun... =)

OK this may have already been noticed but I only just thought to check. Since the 1.8 update I can use my hotspot on my iPhone.

Vita saved hurray.

Oh and anyone who wants to give me more scores to beat on zen pinball 2 add me (name is same as username here).

Currently on 193 million on PvZ.

Do you guys recommend the official Sony screen protector thingies? Does it give the touch screen a weird texture?

Outside of air bubbles and the edges of the screen, nah. It feels like it's not there at all.

Hmm, not a game that interests me, but cool for those who like it.

As for Sony advertising -- SCEA certainly doesn't believe in it. They don't actually want people to buy Vitas, I guess.

Yeah, I have one installed. You won't even notice it's on, and it's nice knowing the actual screen won't get scratched. Also, if you're careful you can get zero air bubbles. I have none.

Well it is partly a marketing blog. They would be sucking a bit if they didn't use it for marketing :p

I've got an AC:3 Crystal White Vita on preorder and I keep on vacillating back and forth between canceling it and waiting or just biting the bullet this holiday season.

I'm in a bit of a funny place with Vita right now. It looks like there are some decent games coming, certainly. It also seems like it's on track to get even less support than the PSP. Sony's essentially ignoring the thing and third parties seem to be following suit.

Decisions, decisions.

Resident Evil 2 is without a doubt my favorite in the series, and if you have it downloaded onto your PS3 you can copy it right over to the Vita. Playing it late at night with headphones on while laying in bed is the best way to revisit old survival horror games, and RE2 is probably the cream of the crop right next to the original Silent Hill.

I don't understand the "Sony is essentially ignoring the thing" argument. No, no they are not. I counted all of the games on Vita the other day, and who published them. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like 32 third party published games and 24 first party published. Sony on their own has published almost as many games as all the other publishers put together.

There are quite a few games coming over the next few months. Throw in the PSP, minis and PSOne classics support and then also this year PS Mobile (should open the flood gates for indie games and apps) and I think support will be just fine by end of year / start of 2013.

There are also a lot of vita games already out. However only you can decide if the library appeals to you.
