PSP games worth buying over PSN for the Vita?

Hey guys, first post on the forum here. Just got my Vita yesterday, no games yet besides the free ones off PSN (RC Racing ftw! :P). I'm looking for advice on good games to buy from the PSN store. Preferably $15 or less, haha. I'm definitely considering these ones: Any support/thoughts on these games would be appreciated!

    Riviera
    Magician Lord
    Dungeon Explorer
    Prinny 1
    Metal Slug 1/2

I'd like a good RPG that will keep me busy for a while until MK comes out.. :P

Super Stardust Delta is really addicting.

It only costs 9.99 by itself, but I would recommend buying the 14.99 bundle. You save money in the long run, since the DLC by itself costs 7.99.

Yes it does have trophies, so you can have more to do. :P

I absolutely love Riviera... but it's definitely a niche game and I can see why a lot of other people don't like it. Especially if you are OCD about exploring/finding everything... The game is designed so that if you don't play battles perfectly, you lose out on points you spend exploring... and even if you do every battle perfectly, a slight mistake in timing in any QTE (quick time event) means you're forever locked out of certain items or side story elements.

That said, the game does have massive replayability for that same reason (plus several endings)

PSP Games:
Prinny 1 is pretty hilarious dood.
idk anything about the other games you listed
The 3rd Birthday, Dissidia 012, and Final Fantasy IV is what's keeping me entertained until Resistance: Burning Skies comes out.

PS Vita Games:
idk, I keep hearing stardust is a good game so I got the demo. It was okay, but not my style.
I got escape plan and it's meh really. It's not terrible, but it's not grand either. If I wanted to play a touch screen game I would play my iPhone rather than kill my Vita in case I wanted to play Dissidia or Final Fantasy IV.

Hmm.. I'm not really too OCD about completion, so I guess I'll be ok, haha.

I'm downloading the stardust demo now. I love twin-sticks so hopefully I'll like it.. :P I'll probably end up getting Prinny tonight too.. never got to play it but heard it was awesome.

I'm not sure if they have it yet, but I am a huge fan of the Grand Theft Auto 'Stories' series. Really awesome, and enjoyable lineup of games, definitely. If they show up on the PS Store, make sure to grab 'em right way.

Got Prinny last night, definitely enjoying it, haha. Probably getting Riviera next, then Stardust. And if any GTA game ever comes to PSV, I'm gonna get it. :P
