The 10 most anticipated PlayStation Vita games


The PlayStation Vita hits American shores on February 22 with an impressive lineup of launch-day and launch-window titles, plus, many other games are on the way. Here’s our list our 10 most anticipated.
The North American launch of the PlayStation Vita is just a few short weeks away, so for those of you considering picking up Sony’s new uber-device, it’s time to start thinking about what you will do with it. As you might expect from a device of its sort, the Vita will have all the bells and whistles of a modern handheld media device: It will stream Netflix, have access to the PlayStation Store and all that it offers including video and music rentals, and have other neat-o things like Facebook. It would be odd if it didn’t. It will also play your own video and music files, and it even has front and back cameras. And oh, hey, it can also play games! Who knew?
If you’ve read DT for a while now, then you probably know that we’ve been underwhelmed by the Nintendo 3DS’s weak launch title selection. It was like buying a brand new 55-inch OLED flat screen TV and only being able to watch CSPAN on it. Assuming you didn’t go insane outright, it would still feel like a waste of money and a waste of 55 inches of your wall. It doesn’t matter how great the hardware is if the software isn’t there to back it up. Sony, like genius people, saw this and decided to address that.
The Vita’s launch window line-up is strong like bull, and the rest of the year — including games that may or may not be out this year but have been officially announced — is robust. In fact, you should go ahead and begin saving money for games now. Or ideally, about six years ago.
So here is our list of the top 10 most anticipated games on the way for the Vita. A few of these are launch title games, some will fall within the launch window (within the first month or so) or the first year. Others do not have a release date, but still have enough shine to get excited about.
