Mat Langford’s Gaming World: Best PS1 Classics for the Vita
As many Vita fans already know, August 28th marks the day that PS1 classics come to the Vita, and it’s kind of a big deal. I’ve been waiting for it for a while, because it’s going to allow me to play some of my old favourites on the go…actually, mainly because it’s going to give me a reason to charge my Vita and take it with me for a change.
That aside, I figured I’d put together a quick list of the top 5 PS1 classics to get for your PS Vita, along with their trailers. Anticipating these games again, it’s like being back in the past!

Mat Langford’s Gaming World: Black Ops: Declassified Could Kill The PS Vita
Here’s a “Community” TV show reference (for fans of the show, you’ll know what i’m saying, for non-fans, don’t worry I’ll get to my point): Remember on Community, just when the show got really awesome, they fired the creative mind behind it and replaced him with generic staff writers and you feared that the show would never be the same?

Mat Langford’s Gaming World – LEGO Batman 2: Dumbed Down on Vita.
The PS Vita was deemed the “PS3 on the go”.
Then why must we constantly get lower quality titles on it than on the PS3?
LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes was released recently both platforms. It looks FANTASTIC on the PS3, with a huge open world that you can even fly through as Superman. You return to your bat cave to do things like buy items and features and what not, then back out to adventuring and exploring.
On the Vita, and it has been confirmed that the game does NOT feature that open-world sandbox gameplay. We, instead, get a port straight from – wait for it – the Nintendo 3DS. A totally linear, lack-luster port from a system with half the power.

Mat Langford’s Gaming World – Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
I’ve been dying to find something good to play on my Vita. It’s been a while since I’ve bought it, and there really hasn’t been a great RPG created for it, so I went into the PSN to try and find something awesome.
For RPG fans in Japan, Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky has a huge following. It is celebrated as one of the great JRPG’s, and rightfully so. It never really made a splash in North America, but it’s a diamond in the rough, and definitely worth the $20 price tag.
Mat Langford’s Gaming World – The State of the PS Vita
I admittedly was very excited for the PS Vita launch. I had it circled on my calendar and couldn’t wait for that day to get here. It came, I bought it, and I loved it. The launch lineup was awesome with at least one really good title in most gaming categories (save for RPG, but we’ll get to that).
But then…nothing.
