Top 5 Best PS Vita Launch Games

5. Lumines: Electronic Symphony

Sony may have gone to great lengths to ensure that the Vita improved upon the PSP in nearly every respect, but there's one thing that's remained exactly the same: Lumines is still one of the system's best launch games.

Sure, not much has changed, save for the addition of special blocks, a new leveling system, and some odd touchscreen controls. The thing is, Lumines is easily the most addictive puzzle game since Tetris, and this is one of those rare instances where the safe bet pays off big.

Unlike many of the Vita's standout launch titles, Lumines: Electronic Symphony isn't a technological marvel by any stretch of the imaginiation. It is, however, an game that's easy to pick up and play no matter where you are, and that's something that's absolutely crucial for a new handheld.
