In fact, we've got a little present for you. We've compiled all of our Vita coverage into one post for your convenience, just because we care.
Let's kick it off with few things for those of you who still haven't picked this gizmo up yet, and are still trying to make up your mind.
- Playstation Vita Guide - Everything you could possible want to know about the Vita. Dana Leahy breaks down the basics of the system, plus gets you up to speed on pricing and which games will be available on which dates.

Okay, so you've decided to grab a Vita. Good for you! Now you need to choose a game or two. Bring on the reviews! Oh, and just in case you're not in a reading mood, we've included links to video reviews for Uncharted and Wipeout. Don't say we never do anything for you.
- Uncharted: Golden Abyss - Rob Manuel shares his thoughts on the newest chapter of the Nathan Drake saga. The short version: awesome graphics, lots of exploration and great characters, but no great setpieces, a bland story and too many gimmicks. (Uncharted For Vita Video review)
- Wipeout 2048 - Just in case you need to know anything besides "fast race-cars of the future," Dana Leahy breaks down the latest installment in the Wipeout series, and we break down her review right here: Awesome soundtrack, wide variety of tracks, easy for new players and great multiplayer, but long load times, poor touch controls and occasional framerate drops. (Wipeout 2048 video review)
- Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus - Yes, it's just an HD remake of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, but is it a GOOD HD remake of Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Adam Rosenberg thinks so, even if the touch controls aren't that great.
