When the PlayStation Vita arrives in Japan this December, it will be backed up by 26 strong titles that spans different genres to cater to a wide range of taste. But is it enough to make the system succesful or still lacks the punch?

Dark Quest Alliance is just Dungeon Hunter Alliance with a different name. I'd suggest waiting for Ruin, which has recently been renamed to Warrior's Lair.

Not sure if you've played Dungeon Hunter, but it's a pretty mediocre hack and slash.

Also, if you have a PS3, 360, or a gaming PC, you should try out Sacred 2. Second favorite, only to Diablo 2.
