Here’s Why The PS Vita Is One Of My Favourite Consoles Of All-Time

Alright, I’m going to kick off proceedings with candour and say this: Sony’s plucky underdog handheld, the PS Vita is one of my favourite consoles of all-time. Phew, I said it. That’s a hefty weight off of my mind.

It Has A Solid Triple-A Roster

Ok, so many of you will balk at this one, but bear with me here. The PS Vita had a lot of triple-A support in its early days and if you’re picking one up now, you’ll be spoilt for choice for titles that push the little blighter to its limits.

You want a First-Person Shooter? You’ve got Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified and Resistance: Burning Skies. You want a good First-Person Shooter? You’ve got Borderlands 2. You want the best handheld FPS ever made (in my humble opinion), you’ve always got the glorious Killzone: Mercenary.

As for Third-Person Shooters, there’s Zipper Interactive’s criminally underrated Unit 13 and the fantastic full-fledged action-prequel Uncharted: Golden Abyss. If you’re in the market for quirky, unique titles then there’s Media Molecule’s charming and wonderfully creative platformers LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway. And that’s all without mentioning heavyweights such as Assassins Creed: Liberation, Gravity Rush, Rayman: Legends, Freedom Wars, XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus, Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, Dragon Quest Builders and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

The PS Vita ain’t got any games? Pffft.
