ModNation Racers!! After the success of the first ModNation Racers on PS3, the game is sure to succeed on Vita.

Rayman Origins, the critically acclaimed side-scrolling platformer has been ported to the Vita.

Asphalt: Injection Trailers & Videos (Launch Game)


Asphalt: Injection is a realistic racer that boasts more than 52 licensed cars. Of course, you start out with BMW's Mini Cooper and unlock cars through winning races. 



It takes full advantage of the graphics and OLED screen to show you beautiful tracks from around the world.


Michael Jackson: The Experience Trailers & Videos (Launch Game)


Michael Jackson: The Experience is an interesting port of a game, because the Wii/Kinect versions required the player to dance along with a computer-generated Jackson's moves.




The Vita version only requires you to swipe and tap along with objects that appear as he dances, which transforms it into a rhythm game similar to Guitar Hero. It's a bit challenging, especially with a screen as large as the Vita's, but fans of Jackson's music will appreciate the great track list included.
