Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Diablo in Portable Form
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Amazon Price: $28.98 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $39.99
I'm not the first one to think that the Dungeon Hunter games look like handheld versions of Diablo. And since we still don't know when Diablo III will drop, for the time being we'll have to get our dungeon-crawling goodness from games like this gem. That's fine with me, because Dungeon Hunter Alliance has more than enough fighting hordes of baddies by yourself or with friends to satisfy my demon-slaying lust.

Rayman Origins
A Great Platform Adventure Game
Rayman Origins
Amazon Price: $34.49 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $39.99
Rayman Origins is available for multiple consoles in addition to the PlayStation Vita (including the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360), so you won't have to wait to get a Vita to enjoy this game that returns us to the kooky Rayman universe. However, the unique Vita controls will make this game a whole new experience on the handheld unit.
#3: Disgaea 3
Absence of Detention
Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention
Amazon Price: $38.98 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $39.99
I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the phrase "Absence of Detention," but the lack of a sense-making title doesn't affect the fun factor of Disgaea. A flexible storyline, liberal use of the new touchpad controls, and a host of interesting characters make this game a great entry into the adventure genre on the Vita
#2: Ninja Gaiden
Sigma Plus
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Amazon Price: $36.66 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $39.99
Here's an example of a franchise entry slated to enjoy a very warm welcome on the PlayStation Vita. You'll be able to relive the original love you felt for Ninja Gaiden on the NES, but of course with stellar graphics and updated controls. And, most likely, your original frustration at how difficult the game can be. Learn more (and brush up on your Japanese skills) by checking out the trailer on YouTube.
#1: Uncharted
Golden Abyss
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Amazon Price: $39.25 (as of 05/29/2012)
List Price: $49.99
Just the awesome scenery alone is enough to make this into an adventure game worthy of the genre. Throw in a modern-day protagonist exploring a 400 year old mystery (somewhat Indiana Jones style), and updated gameplay features, such as a screen-tilt aiming system, and you've got a platform game that's anything but ordinary and boring.

PlayStation Vita First Edition Bundle
