    "PulzAR"
    Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
    Price: €1.99/$.99 (Correct me if I'm wrong, my PSN prices are displayed in PLN, the Polish currency so those were taken from the net)



    I wasn't expecting it to be good but it is - it's like a cross between "The Incredible Machine" and, well, AR - you guide your lasers from the start point to the receivers using lenses, filters and splitters, preferably making them cross paths with the extra coins (for extra l337_5k1llz bonuses) and as easy as it may sound, it's actually quite demanding later on, not to mention fun.

    I like modnations, the lack of online multiplayer really hurts, but I like it a lot anyway

    I originally put Ridge Racer, then realized that it was a crappy game and added Wipeout instead.

    Shinobido 2 got pretty crappy reviews and Mahjong Fight Club seems to be a PSP game...

    1. Disgaea 3 (port, but a lot of people enjoy the franchise)
    2. Persona 4 Golden (see above)
    3. Ragnarok Odyssey
    4. Tales on Innocence R (see above)
    The rest of the RPG's for the platform are of arguable quality, so I won't include stuff like Dungeon Hunter, Lord of Apocalypse or Warrior's Lair. That said, I'd like to add that games which are not available world-wide and require the user to import should have that included in their descriptions.

    I'll add all of those but I've always been hesitant about adding RPGs that have only come out in Japan on the list. The language barrier for RPGs makes it really hard for people who don't speak Japanese to enjoy.

    Very true, I'm personally waiting for games like Ragnarok to come out world-wide - it's an acquired taste, but I like ARPG's and the language barrier is a huge no-no. That said, just include the regions in which they're available to date. :P

    Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational is a pretty damn good game. It doesn't blow the doors off the Vita with innovation, but it's still THE game I go to for a quick pick up game.

    The idea of having an "incomplete" one is to provide more info about each game and separate the grain from the chaff by only mentioning the ones worth attention.

    With my lists, I filter through the shit and only post good games. That's the difference. At a first glance there, I see Ben 10: Galactic Racing and vaporware, Bioshock.

    I don't know if there's a point - upcoming or announced games are often subjected to long development time or even cancellation, best to wait until they're close to release.
