While the fall gaming schedule is always jam-packed, the upcoming launch of the PS4 and Xbox One means many great current-gen games will probably be lost in the shuffle. Most of these games can be found at bargain prices, and are sure to rank among the year’s absolute best.
Killzone: Mercenary
Killzone: Mercenary (Playstation Vita)
Transporting the PS3’s most graphically advanced first-person shooter to a handheld device sounds impossible, but Killzone: Mercenary manages to do just that. Offering a gorgeous, precisely controlled experience that fits in the palm of your hand, Mercenary is the Vita’s first legit must-own shooter. The game’s coolest feature – a cash system that gives you credit for every headshot, combo and ammo pickup – offers you plenty of reasons to keep playing. Cynics, take note: Killzone: Mercenary may be the best reason yet to own a Vita.
