The Playstation portable (PSP) model 3000 is out in U.S. stores now. The PSP 1000 was released in the early 2005 in the U.S. Then came PSP model 2000 (slim and light) which was released on September 2007, and the PSP 1000 model got the "fat" title. Now, the PSP 3000 are stocked on shelves in U. S. stores everywhere as its realeased was late October 2008. The PSP is the first portable game console that uses Optical Disc Format, (Universal Media Disc, UMD) for storage. It is one of the best, if not the best portable gaming system in the world. The library of games for the PSP is huge, and keeps on growing, month after months.
The great new features incorporated to the PSP 3000 model is the LCD screen, much clearer and high defined than older PSP models. Also adds the built-in microphone, and expanded video out, which is a great sharing feature. Let's say you want to play your PSP games, or watch that video you like, view pictures, or music on your TV. You can actually do that and let everyone see whatever media you have on the PSP on a big screen TV.
Sony has really outdone themselves with new high top notch gadget. There is so much the PSP can do media wise, you can actually get hooked on it, and never leave home without it!!!
Heavy metal destruction trucks are featured here and the more demolition on those puny little cars (or whatever is in your way), the better and more points you get. haha!! Unleash havoc on city escapes or just about any type of surface. Monster Jam: Urban Assault features all time favorite trucks such as Grave digger, Scarlet Bandit (Pink color truck lol), and Maximum Destruction just to name a few. There are many options on game-play modes. Some similar but not the same. I have made the list on game play mode here:
a ---World Series ---Speedster ---Smasher ---Stuntman
b ---Race Circuit (shows video) ---Eliminator ---Head to Head ---Monster Jump ---Skill Jump ---Air Strike ---Devastator ---Freestyle ---Stadium Racing ---Trickster
There is also the Multi-player mode to challenge your PSP buddy. And last but not least is the Showroom section where you can view the movies you have unlocked. I think the game dynamics are very good. I especially love the ramps that make you go airborne. Its really cool. Monster Jam: Urban Assault is developed by Torus Games, published by Activision, and was released on October 28, 2008.
WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009, the number one wrestling franchise in the U.S, makes it big on the PSP and other consoles. Here we talk PSP only, and everyone already knows its a hot expected game release almost just at the end of 2008. I consider myself a WWE wrestling fan, of course Triple H, and Undertaker were some of my long time favorites.
What I like about this game is the variaty of game modes you can play. For example there is the "Exhibition" category and it has these type of matches: one-on-one, two-on-two, triple threat, fatal-4-way, 6 man, handicap, and royal rumble. You can also edit the roster in "My WWE" category. "Road to Wrestlemania" which I have yet to try, but only a few super stars to choose from here. "Game Modes" category includes the "career mode" (which the video shows), and "tournament modes" which opens king of the ring, beat the clock sprint, and quick play tournament matches. "Create Modes" category includes create a wrestler, moves, entrances, and more. "Wireless" for multi-player.
Overall this is a fun game, that has lots of areas to explore, I have not unlocked anything as of yet, because I just started playing the game. The moves execution controls are great, and I am just getting used to them. Fairly easy at the start, but keep getting better and harder as you move forward.
Crimsongem Saga for the PSP or otherwise called Garnet Chronical in Japan is just plain text book game when it comes to Role Playing Games (RPG). My favorite part so far, has been just the battle system; plain simple yet effective. I have yet to do much exploration of the game. I am recently on the third quest which is to find ExGuard Office that is at the southeast of the village where the game actually starts.
Leveling up here is quite easy, or so it seems at the very beginning of the game. The most important thing here is to remember when you are in a place where there are monsters, make sure or at least try to get behind them and make contact, that way you will have an advantage as you will hit first, and so having the upper advantage of the battle. Besides just simple attacks (as most RPGs)there are also skills that you learn as you go on your quest.
The graphics are beautiful and the entrance movie is amazing, and one worth watching. I guess the only thing I had wished for, that would maybe have improved this game, was voice acting. Much like in Star Ocean: First Departure where all or most of the important dialog was written and also spoken. I think that made the story much understandable for SOFD. I will probably post more on this game as when I have gone further in its story. So, far I like what I am seen in this game and recommend it for RPG players of all ages!!
To be honest I have yet to play Manhunt 2 for PSP. I hear it's very violent and goreish 0-o. Lots of blood here, decapitations, murders, adult content, and more of the like. It's not my preferred type of game that I would go mad about playing, but yea just a little bit. This game is definately not for kids, nor do I recomend it for younsters. It's more like for those who thirst for action adventure, the rough way, and do not faint at the view of blood.
The story might seem interesting, I kinda heard what is was about. Danny Lamb (you) is an asylum inmate who has managed to scape during an electrical failure in the building. He does not remember much about his past, but gets short random memory flashbacks. He soon finds out more about himself and the involment he has with some kind of project. Well, that is how the story begins.
This is a rated "M" game for mature audience, published by Rockstar Games, Released on October 29, 2007.
Great collection of the King of Fighters series include: King of Fighters 94, 95, 96, 97, 98. It is like buying 5 games for the price of one. And what makes it more great is the challenge mode play. (you can see that on my video below) Some challenges are really easy, but some will give you a hard time. You can unlock art, and music playing and passing each challenge. This really is a must for all KOF fans out there!! More about this game here!!
Neverland Card Battles for PSP falls in the strategy RPG and reminds me of a game I played long ago called Magic the gathering on PSOne. There are some mayor differences though. For one, the mana is not collected in cards but it is determined by the squares you occupy on the floor grid. If you need to summon a creature, for example, a certain number of squares on the grid must belong to you, in order for you to summon that creature. You play as a Dominator(characters who hold cards for play) called Galahad, there are more dominators in the game which you must beat to keep on going with the game story. There are 3 types of cards you can get, these are: 1. Unit cards: summon characters/creatures 2. Spell cards: these are instant damage/effect cards 3. Base cards: kinda support cards
The object of the game is to defeat Hellgaia (an evil god who is trying to kill everyone in the world). I just started playing this game and the story seems that Hellgaia is the last boss to defeat. One thing that is really cool about this game is that you acquire more cards as you keep on playing, and so you can choose which ones you want on your deck(30 cards required, no more, no less) each time its your turn on the battle field you will be able to get one random card from the deck. you get a maximum of 6 playable cards per turn. If you know me, I was always the type who enjoys great art, and this cards definitely have great art too.
I really love games like this, although sometimes a battle may even take me more than an hour to win, but so much fun, I feel like I had just played for 5 minutes. The video below shows that I really had to cut a big chunk of clip to make it fit on Youtube(close to 8 minutes) I was fighting the second boss of the entire game.
This games rocks and I recommend it to everyone into strategy games, It is dam good!! ^.^
