@ShogunRok Uncharted 2 is an incredible masterpiece of this generation, and I was sorely disappointed with Uncharted 3. Uncharted 3 tried to hard to be hardcore and gritty and semi-ruined what made the 2nd game great. Uncharted 2 was great because it was hilarious, and had these subtle, but powerful moments. In an attempt to make Uncharted more difficult they added a bunch of cheap enemies that kill you easily, and took out most of the jokes, and the group dynamic that made UC2 so wonderful. Naughty Dog has a bunch of great COMEDY writers, but they are very bad at writing drama.
Also I adore GoW I & II, but despise GOW III with a passion Stig ruined the series. Jaffe and Corey created something magnificent Stig did not entirely grasp what made the first 2 games great and added some forced pureness of the heart storyline. I really wanted to like GOW III, but that game rubbed me the wrong way. One thing it did improve though was the combat system. However Story, Boss fights, level variety, atmosphere, art direction, magic, puzzles, music, level design, weapon variety, and pacing all took a hit.
This,Escape Plan,and Malicious ( I hope it gets localized ) are what are peaking my interest in Vita. If we get more games like these I will be very happy with the Vita.
The potential is there, but I doubt they will do much with the connectivity. The move is an amazing piece of tech, when I first saw the development videos of it I wanted one instantly. It's been a year and Sony has still been very tepid with its releases. The original content is disappointing things like Playstation move heroes and the ape escape games could have been amazing, but they didn't do justice to the series they came from. The other exclusives are just games that have optional move support, which is nice but I can play them with my dual shock 3 and the only shooter I really like is Uncharted. All the the 3rd party stuff is just Wii games I already played. Sony could definitely do amazing things with Vita and PS3 connectivity, but I doubt they will do much. I'm buying the Vita for the games, the possible connectivity is just a bonus.
I'm actually happy they pushed it back it gives the 3DS an opportunity to get a share of the market. I want both portables to succeed so I'm hoping that this helps the 3DS gain sales and that Sony has a plan to make up for the lost opportunity.
I'll buy a Vita for the eventual release of Project Diva (love that game so much), but I bought a 3DS at launch so I'm going to be playing games on that for a while, and I still have plenty of games to play on my PSP & PS3.

Re: Playable PS Vita Demo Units Drop into GameStop
Was dissapointed wit my hands-on. Sticks were wobbly, and the system was uncomfortable to hold. Gravity Rush was awesome though.
Re: Review: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (PlayStation 3)
Not a 10, Uncharted 2 is a perfect 10. Uncharted 3 is a 9 at best, but closer to an 8.5 a giant step back from the first 2 games in my opinion.
Re: Feature: Must-Have PlayStation 3 Games - Damien's Picks
Valkyria Chronicles is the best PS3 game hands-down, if you disagree you should jump into a pool of acid and crocodiles.

Re: Official PS Vita Memory Cards Priced for US
Too expensive for me. I will still get a Vita, but I'm going to give it a few years until Sony sorts this out.
Re: PS Vita Takes Augmented Reality to New Dimensions
Yeah Pulsar and Pocket War look fantastic, everything else looked impressive, but boring
Re: Vita Won't Play PSOne Games Right Away
WHY MUST YOU PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS
I thought this was an announcement that a new Crash gave developed by Naughty Dogg would hit the Vita.
Re: First New Little King's Story Vita Shots Take the Throne
The new look isn't bad, but I prefer the old look.
Re: Escape Plan Trailer Can't Escape the Internet
I hope this game is as fun to play as it is amazing to look at.
Re: Gravity Daze Now Gravity Rush, New Screenshots and Trailer
This,Escape Plan,and Malicious ( I hope it gets localized ) are what are peaking my interest in Vita. If we get more games like these I will be very happy with the Vita.
Re: Sony Spraypaints 'Tag' Trailer Into Real World
These Vita games seem to be either hit or miss. I'm not really into this, but I'll give them credit for thinking outside of the box.
Re: Disgaea 3 Returns to PlayStation Vita
Hmm.. I was planning on picking up Disgaea 4 for PS3 as my first Disgaea game, but now I might get this instead.
