The Therapist Gamer

This is a PS Vita game that came out when the system launched. It was also free on PS Plus for about 2 years, so if you have a Vita you've probably already played it. It was not developed by Naughty Dog (the studio that makes the Uncharted series), but the game is just about as good as it's PS3 cousins.

Uncharted is a third-person shooter with lots of exploring of uncharted(!) territory. This game also has quite a few collectibles to discover.

The Uncharted series is known for a few things, notably that the visuals are usually very impressive, the story is engaging, and it has a great sense of humor. Uncharted: Golden Abyss pretty much keeps in line with this set of expectations. As you look at the screenshots, keep in mind that these are from a mobile game released in early 2012. It looks great on the Vita's OLED screen. Uncharted has started to be characterized by having a variety of locales and massive set-pieces - these ingredients are not as present in this game as in the rest of the series.

The gameplay is solid and the dual analogue sticks of the Vita make the gameplay pretty much as good as on a console (it really is a well-designed machine). The gun play is programmed well and I really have nothing more to say other than everything just works.

When this game was announced in 2011 it was touted as a Triple-A console experience on-the-go. I would say that, with a few minor exceptions, PlayStation delivered on their promise.  Incidentally, this is also the first game I played on the PS Vita and the game that started my love affair with taking screenshots!
