Hi all. Sun, here. :)

I've recently ordered a PS Vita Wi-Fi, with 4GB memory card and LittleBigPlanet to start with.

It all should be with me soon, soon I'm just wondering what the opinions are of honest gamers on good Vita games.

Thanks,
Sun :)

 Not only it one of the best RPG this gen, it has 100h+ gameplay, it will keep u busy for a very long time. And if your still not convinced just take look at this: http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/persona-4-golden

Persona 4 Golden, as the poster above mentioned and Gravity Rush. I'd pick up a psn plus card if I were you. They have some games offered for the Vita for having the service.

Motorstorm RC costs hardly anything and has loads of content. Also recommend Wipeout 2048, Sound Shapes and Super Stardust Delta. Uncharted and Gravity Rush are available through PS+.

Do you get much with PS+ where you live? In Europe you get Uncharted and Gravity rush included with it. That might be worth cheacking out for your region.

If you want more platforming, i suggest getting Sound Shapes on PSN. You can also check out PSABR, people are claiming its fun.

Playstation Plus (US linup: Uncharted Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Wipeout 2048, Jet Set Radio, Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack!, Final Fantasy Tactics) is more than worth it to start with at $50.

Thanks guys.

Persona 4 and Gravity rush sound good, might have to grab a PS+ Card.
I have Jet Set Radio on 360, but it sounds tempting to have it on the go. Does the port run well on Vita?

Yeah you're so gonna need a better memory card. The PS Plus games alone won't fit on a 4GB card. Get yourself a decent sized card. I've got a 32GB one myself.

As for games to suggest, I'll suggest some stuff nobody else has. Stardrone Extreme is a really good cheap PSN title. Try the trial. Check out PS Mobile too. Puzziball is a nice puzzle game. The first 30 levels are free and the rest is 79p. Lemmings is the big must have title of PS Mobile for me though. £1.99 for such an awesome classic game. The first 30 levels are free too.

Mortal Kombat is good. LBP is also good, but you're getting it. Escape Artist is fun. Gravity Rush.

Get PS+ and get the free games. I also recommend Assassins Creed, Motorstorm RC, and I'm also playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories that I downloaded off PSN (I never owned a psp).

That's cool. Thanks guys. From what I've read I guess I'll be picking up a PS+ card too, lol.
That'll help me out when I get a bigger hard drive for my PS3.

BTW. My PSN ID is: SunSpiritx for anyone who'd like to add me on PS3 (I'm pretty new, lol) and on the Vita, when it arrives, of course. :)

Yeah, here's "free" games, you can play them as long as you pay us monthly. Honestly it's more a rental than ownership, you'd be better off with a Gamefly subscription that way you can play whichever game you desire.

Yeah my friend just realize it and I was ashame that I recommend her to purchase PS plus well anyway. My first Vita game was Dokuro, UMvsC3 and DW next but I suggest that It's month of December and be a wise buyer wait for price drop and then buy all the games you want.

It's fifty dollars for a year(the cheapest option), so it's cheaper than Gamefly for one thing. The other idea is that you're getting unlimited access to a large collection of games, and they don't have to be sent back like Gamefly requires. And Gamefly isn't available in Canada... So that's my excuse. :P

It completely depends on your taste in games but in terms of value I'd certainly recommend Persona 4 and a Playstation Plus subscription.

Also in case you're unaware, Playstation Plus covers both the PS3 and Vita and any game added to your "Purchase History" (each title doesn't necessarily have to be downloaded while it's available to Plus) can be accessed at any time over the duration of your membership. Renew your membership a year from now and those games from when you first became a member will still be available. IMO £39.99 to "rent" 65 games over the course of a year (and then some if you choose to resubscribe) is excellent value.

Escape Plan really wasn't a bad game. It has three DLC packs, though, so getting the whole thing is kind of pricey.

I'd have never seen anything on Persona series, I usually hear it thrown around on the forums but never checked it out. I just knew it was an RPG, but had never seen footage or anything.

I never really considered getting a Vita, when I saw Golden got a 9/10 I decided to get the system and the game, just out of the blue. Didn't think about it much. It is a really good game, worth the puchase.

Lol all Vita owners know that Persona 4 Golden Ed. is what we called "GODLIKE" game lol. I suggest no to PS plus but I am not against with it, just a wise decision wait for a holiday sales.

Precisely. If you get a lot of gaming done it's excellent value for money. If however you're more of a casual player or one who owns a vast collection of games then it may not be.
