Rayman leading the PS Vita score fest

Also, the first batch of reviews of games for a portable always seem to have the same type of comments "its good... but not as good as a real console" or "this updated version of old game here isn't quite right" which I think skews the results down a bit.

Let us know what your favourites are so far. I'm getting my Vita tomorrow and will probably settle for MotorStorm RC and Everybodys (Hot Shots) Golf for now as I really want to test out the multiplayer side of the console.
