On this day 11 years ago, a new adventure awaited Nathan Drake. UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss launched alongside the PlayStation Vita in North America in 2012, bringing this beloved franchise to the portable platform.

Vita launched on the 15th if you bought the early edition like I did 

I loved vita so much. Golden Abyss was great and really deserves to be remembered among the other Uncharted games. Also loved LBP Vita, Killzone Mercenary, and Super Stardust Delta even more than their console versions. Never played AC Liberation so I don't know how that one managed, but I loved that so many Vita games properly competed with PS3 games.

Gravity Rush was fun but not amazing imo. Same with Tearaway. I never understood why both games got so much praise.

Frobisher Says was my guilty pleasure. Not really a good game but I had so much fun with it.


I'm glad Vita's screenshot functionality caught on, but I wish its back touchpad caught on too.
