At this point in its lifespan, the PSP is well known for its wide variety of unique puzzle/action titles along with many role-playing games for the hardcore fans out there.

Star Ocean: The First Departure

Published on: 12th July, 2009

Sadly for role-playing aficionados, the original Star Ocean never made it to North American shores. Those who fully enjoyed the RPG lineup on the PS1 were able to partake of the excellent sequel, Star Ocean: The 2nd Story, but if you wanted to play the first one, you had to import it. These days, however, [...]

Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero

If you’re a fan of the critically acclaimed strategy/RPG franchise, Disgaea, your reaction to something like this could’ve been, “…well, that’s one way to go.” In a surprising twist, Nippon Ichi has decided to extract one of the most recognizable – and curiously lovable – characters from their well-received series and give him a game [...]

Published on: 10th July, 2009

Although the PSP hasn’t had any major blockbuster titles since earlier in the year with God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, there are several smaller, less conspicuous titles that should’ve grabbed your attention. We’ve seen intriguing and potentially addictive games with Patapon, N+ and Loco Roco; the latter of [...]

The 3rd Birthday

Published on: 10th July, 2009

Square-Enix heralded it as one of the world’s first “cinematic RPGs” (if you own the game, go look at the back of the jewel case), and it quickly became a favorite of gamers around the world. Some will argue that the sequel adopted too much of a Resident Evil feel and lost a lot of [...]

Unbound Saga

Published on: 10th July, 2009

The PlayStation Network is really starting to come into its own – wait until you see our review for Flower – but let’s not forget that certain titles are there to enhance your PSP, not your TV. One such upcoming game is Vogster Entertainment’s Unbound Saga, which is based upon the Dark Horse comic book [...]

Air Conflicts: Aces of World War II

Published on: 10th July, 2009

The flight genre has never been considered a mainstream attraction, despite the success of franchises like Ace Combat. Even so, we continue to get a few flight efforts each generation that turn out to be both solid and entertaining, so perhaps you should pay attention to Air Conflicts: Aces of World War II for the [...]

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

Remember 2001? It was arguably the greatest year for video games in history, and Naughty Dog’s Jak and Daxter made a significant contribution towards that year’s stellar, innovative selection. Since then, the two stalwart heroes have struck out on their own, each succeeding in their own adventures (the Jak titles for the PS2 and Daxter [...]

Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman

Published on: 10th July, 2009
