So youve got a new Vita

So youve got a new Vita


*
Over the last few days, there were some fantastic holiday deals to be had on Sony�s Vita handheld. If you were one of the lucky ducks that swooped in for some savings, you might now be wondering� �Well, what do I play on it?�

Got you covered. Although this isn�t an exhaustive list (and of course, tastes vary) there is a ton of great gaming to be had on the system once you realize you�ve got five marketplaces to browse: In addition to the Vita�s native software, it also offers selections from the PSP, PSOne, PS Mini and PS Mobile libraries.

By the way, with all the games you�re sure to be downloading, you might find that you run out of space fairly quickly.  Although Sony still hasn�t dropped the price of their proprietary memory cards, a good thing to remember is that it�s incredibly easy to backup Vita software in order to make room for new stuff.  Just use the included USB cable and hook it up to a PC, PS3 or PS4.  The media manager software that comes on the Vita is totally painless to use, and makes these backups a snap.

So what do I recommend? Here are some selections in alphabetical order�. If @Gamecritics has a review for the title in question, the link is included. If not, there�s a brief description from me!
