Gravity Rush

This PS Vita game is known as Gravity Daze in Japan, where it was released first. It's a game that makes a lot more sense when you see it in action as opposed to still images.  Basically, your character Kat gains the ability to adjust gravity around her immediate person. You press a button to neutralize gravity then press it again to switch gravity to the direction you are facing. You can also adjust gravity by moving the PS Vita system itself. 

The cut-scenes are told through a type of comic book interface that was pretty original. Story-wise the game gets complex, but basically the same event that grants Kat her power also causes some baddies to invade your city. It's up to you to set things right. 

 

One complaint with the gameplay is that while the environments feature lots of civilians and large cities, there is virtually nothing you can interact with apart from zooming around with your gravity powers.  It would have been welcome to have more activites throughout town or to be able to interact with the environment in ways beyond simply walking up the walls.
