Selective Creation: Give Life to the PS Vita! (Life to the Life? Fail.)

[Brannox]

Now that a couple "Second Chance Builds" have gone through, let's get back to a regular, 25 entry console list.

This time, we're delving back to handheld. Let's pick the best the PS Vita has to offer!

SO: As always - Quick rule refresher for potential new players:

Here's the breakdown: You've been given the power to green-light 25 games, but here's the catch: these 25 games will be the ONLY games to come out for the PS Vita. What should be the games that make the cut? By giving 25 select titles, you are essentially playing an inverse of Kill Your Babies.

You can only give one title until four people have added after you OR 12 hours have passed since the last overall addition, NOT NECESSARILY YOURS, so think really hard about which game should be on the list. It could be your favorite game, or if your favorite is already present, then you can add another you hold dear. Or if you don't like the PS Vita, get to trolling if it makes you happy.

To keep some diversity, I'm instituting a franchise cap. So if two entries of a series get put on the list, a third CAN NOT be added.

Once you have given a game, please keep a running list going for the benefit of the next person that would like to play. Because I'm pitching the game, I will refrain from adding to the list unless absolutely necessary because it would be unfair for me to skew the list in my favor.

And so Allies, what are the 25 best games released on the PS Vita?

Have fun!

Persona 4: Golden

Easy pick, this game alone is worth buying the system for. The improvements it makes upon the original are astounding and Inaba may be one of the best towns in gaming period. Plus, Naoto is in the game and Naoto is queen.

@SabotageTheTruth nothing else is really needed, but still

Persona 4: Golden
Trails of Cold Steel

didn't play this on Vita, but it managed to become one of my top 5 favorite JRPGs, so definitively deserves to be in there.

Persona 4: Golden
Trails of Cold Steel
Gravity Rush

I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of my favorite games of this generation.

[Sentinel Beach]

Persona 4: Golden
Trails of Cold Steel
Gravity Rush
Tearaway

An incredibly innovative game for the system. It plays around with pretty much every little thing concerning the fact that it's on Vita. And it's a good game, too.

Loved the original game and loved 2X also. Hopefully I'll get to add OlliOlli to the mix too. My Vita is very much alive.

Man I'm just after thinking of other games I should of added like Severed too!

Seeing your entire party that you spent hours cultivating get decimated by a boss while on the go is super fun!... Maybe fun isn't the right word for it, but regardless, one of my favorites on the Vita.
