I'd first like to mention that this is my first Playstation Vita game review and it actually has me pretty excited. Why? Well, because it marks the start of many new games to review on a fascinating new console.

Little Deviants has more content than your standard tech demo, and so it should as a retail game. However, it can't shake the tag, and feels like it's just trying to showcase what the Vita can do with a compilation of mini-games.

This is one of the few reviews where I will put more time into writing the review than actually playing the game.  I didn't get the Vita bundle that included Little Deviants.  I thought I was being thrifty by getting it on ebay "used once" for $15 + $2 shipping.

The launch of a new system always brings games that are keen to show off the capabilities of the new hardware. The PlayStation Vita boasts a suite of nontraditional control inputs, and Little Deviants is more than a little obsessed with them.

Some of the 30 games are remixes; You want HOW many points for Gold; Some games ask too much from the controls

While Little Deviants is clearly designed – above all else – to showcase the PS Vita's clever touch controls, this madcap minigame compilation is still is a fun diversion for anyone who fancies an absurd alternative to WipEout 2048's sickening twists and turns.

I can't deny that Little Deviants was one of the PlayStation Vita games I was most interested in getting my hands on. As a seemingly clever mini-game collection from the recently shuttered Sony first party studio BigBig, Little Deviants appeared to be more than just software designed to showcase all...

Parents need to know that Little Deviants is a collection of mini-games playable on the PlayStation Vita that are meant to show-off the different kinds of controls that are available, including the use of the unique rear-touch screen.
