Got given Unit 13 today, and as I don't know a thing about it, I'm hoping it's good :shifty:

Oh and playing uncharted and Rayman on a plane was just :wub: (worst ive been on holiday post).


Unit 13 seems very god so far. Only done the tutorial and one mission but seems another pretty good release.

Guess we're on the quiet patch now, doesn't look like much is coming in the next month or so..


Despite crashing everyone's Vita (which, admittedly, is quite a big problem) and not having online leaderboards that make any sense (you only get 'placed' if you're in the top 1000), Unit 13's well worth checking out. It's quite tough but very addictive and the 'snap to target/headshot' combo is so satisfying, Also, the daily challenges add a tonne of content to it, you can kind of look past the negatives when there's so much going for it.

It feels like the Vita's version of the Ghost Recon game that came out for the 3DS launch - what appeared to be a generic military themed game is actually pretty damn good once you scrape away the standard issue war paint.

Regarding the quiet patch, get Virtua Tennis, it'll keep you amused for ages. Don't like tennis games? No dice. I'd only ever bought one other sports game in my life (Mario Golf GBA) and I've bought two in the space of as many weeks for the Vita. It's brilliant.

With regards to the quiet patch, I haven't got the "big" launch titles yet (namely Uncharted and Wipeout) and tbh I'd be more interested in the £8-ish PSP games at the moment, since I missed out in all of them.

Hmm, I thnk my honeymoon with Vita is over. Barely touched in the last 2 weeks and all the games I have are unfinished and have lots to do in them still. I have been back at work after being off for 6 weeks recouping from an operation so in theory I should have been using it more going to and fro form home to work but I cant seem to motivate myself. It's a shame but I have already fallen back in to my gaming apathy that has plagued me all year. :( Good though the release titles are they have failed to really ignite my gaming love. Maybe this wil be the last bit of gaming hardware I will buy.

I upgraded my 8GB Vita memory card to a 16GB one last week. Would anyone be interested in it? All original packaging included, and the card has been formatted. £20 delivered. (pic)

I'm really enjoying Gladiator Begins, bought it from the Store for 7.99 and it's really fun.

Sure, it's repetative fighting the same looking guys in the same looking arenas over and over again, but I found the addiction kicking in when I killed a boss and was able to steal his equipment, then be an absolute boss for a while until the next big boss guy showed up.

There are so many weapons, armour and shields it's ridiculous. I've just started fighting gladiators with Egyptian themes in their weaponry and armour, terrifying looking but if you manage to beat them (and it's not easy) then you are able to take up to three of their belongings. It really gets addictive when you kill one and kit yourself out with their stuff, suddenly all powerful.



It involves a lot of strategic combat, every piece of armour you and your enemies are wearing can be knocked off if hit enough times, so tougher enemies require de-shielding, or removing their leg bracers or helmet for clear damage attacks.

It's pretty fun and controls well. I'd recommend it at 7.99.

Could that be any more a rip off of Shadow of Rome. I think not.

Has anyone bought Unit 13 as a download? I'm trying to find out how big it is, but there doesn't appear to be any information on the size of games on the PS Store...bit of an oversight that.

Still loving the Vita...Unit 13 is much better then i expected actually! Although..i do hope Sony keeps up with releasing a major game a month, at the moment..the next one is June 13th, unless you count Mortal Kombat in May.

Cracked on with Golden Abyss a bit last night. I'd saved it for a long plane journey, whereupon the game promptly threw me a bloody puzzle where I had to hold the vita up to a bright light, so there's me in the exit isle holding it up to a window getting all sorts of looks :fp: :lol:

Anyway, got the bit where you find the grandad dead before finding some sword. Got to love the badly placed dialogue, where chase is sobbing away and i find a treasure, to which Drake quips at the top of his voice, "Wait till I show Sully THIS, he's going to go APE gooseberry fool!!" :lol:. Also just got to a bit with some rafting in it... I'm really too old to be laughing at all the "Thats what SHE said" jokes

Yeah but thats not for everyone..i know it's a release for fans of that genre..but i have no argument really...haha :fp:

Theres a game a month, i know...but i was hoping for like a big first-party game each month (difficult i know)...they've done well so far! I suppose LittleBigPlanet is a September release now?

I'm stuck on Uncharted and haven't touched it in over a week :(

Moved on and bought Unit 13 and Everybodys Golf instead, EG is annoyingly addictive as no matter how many times I ruin my round with a horrible shot I find myself coming back for more :lol:

The lack of releases is quite jarring, I thought Sony would have learned that the system needs a constant stream of releases both digitally and physical.

I have no idea when the next Vita release is.

Would they have been better holding stuff back from the release day?

Strong launch then quiet patch >>>>>>>>>> 3ds style launch that could have killed off the system.

If it'd launched with only one good game (for example) then it would have got a mauling.

I've got plenty to be getting on with for the upcoming months:

Uncharted
Wipeout
Rayman
Unit 13
Motorstorm
Katamari (yet to buy)
Everybody's Golf (yet to buy)

That'll do me :wub:

I think so, the release was possibly too good. You can't front load anything like that. It makes months like March seem barren. We haven't even had a PSN Vita release since launch day(not including Unit 13 or other retails releases). Sony need at least a game a week, either digital or physical.

I agree, at the moment I've still got loads to do on Everybody's Golf, Motorstorm and Uncharted and I've got Rayman, Dungeon Hunter, Lumines and Virtua Tennis hardly touched. Couple that with possibly picking up Unit 13, Space Blob, Hustle Kings, Escape Plan and Katamari when they are cheap and Disgaea coming over the horizon then I've got enough to last me a very long time.
