Hokuto no Ken 2.5D fighting game based on the upcoming series. I coulda gone for the one by ASW even though it's a broken mess.

[Marlie]

I just got Star Wars yesterday. Alot different from the next gen ones but it's still pretty ok. The camera is just as shitty. I also had Yddra Union. Is that any good?

[Nite]

Reviews are pretty high for Yggdra Union. I haven't played it though.

For STFU, since you've already played the next gen version, I'd just use cheat codes to unlock all the force powers and costumes, then play the PSP exclusive modes. They're really the best thing about the game.

Yggdra Union is the bastard child of Riviera and Fire Emblem

I'm wrrrryly enjoying it, even though i'm not into SRPGs that much. I deffinitely reccomend i, and the campaign seems looooong

For anyone who hasn't installed gba onto their PSP I saw this guys 5 min video and it worked flawlessly for me.=p

YouTube - Gameboy Advance (GBA) Emulator for the PSP! **Very Easy!!**

[Marlie]

I has a GBA on my PSP. Only thing I want them to do is get Final Fantasy 6 Advance to run smoothly and we'll talk.

[Kickz]

Every game I've tried so far has worked flawlessly music and all, I am gonna try final fantasy.

Dissidia: Garland vs Warrior of Light
Gametrailers.com - Dissidia: Final Fantasy - DKS3713: Garland vs. Warrior of Light Gameplay

Here’s a clearer view of how Dissidia Final Fantasy’s “Enemy Encounter System” works. You will be presented with a chess board like map that your character can move on, the board will look different depending on which character is selected (Chaos Shrine is shown in these screens).

Moving on the board requires Destiny Point (one point per move and spelled as Distyny Point in another screen, typos?) that can be acquired after beating enemies. Besides the boss at the other end of the grid, there will be bonus items to pick up and minor enemies to fight on the board. Fighting is activated by moving next to the enemy. When the fight is over, your character will return to the board with his/her remaining HP. You can replenish their HP by picking up health items on the board, but these items will sometimes have enemies sitting next to them, so plenty of strategizing to be done here. The good thing is that you can check out the enemy’s stat by looking at the “Imitation Code” (shown below), which displays their level and DP Bonus to gain.

Also, some of the grids require certain conditions to be met before your character can move into (see the crossed grid in front of Garland in the top screen). There appears to be more elements that are yet to be revealed about the system, you can also earn LP and Story Point after each battle, their use is still unclear now.

Another feature being revealed is “Another Costume” where you can make your character wear other outfits before entering a fight. Onion Knight is shown wearing FFIII’s Luneth blue outfit in the Weekly Famitsu mag report

Oh.my.God. Dissidia. GOTY.

[Nite]

WTF is this crap? Spamming full screen attacks isn't what a beat-em-up should be like.

An Ikkitousen game? *ignored*

Looks decent, but I looked up the last few games made by the same developers, and they don't look good, at all.

[Haohmaru]

Macross Ace Frontier (PSP, Namco Bandai): 8, 9, 9, 7 - (33/40) Famitsu score. That aside from that 7, pretty good score. Especially for a shooter.

[Nite]

I hardly classify MAF as a shooter. It's more of a Virtua On style fighting game.

Also I'm totally getting one of these for my PSP

[Kraker2k]

Wow dual slot? You could potentially take it to 16gb right?

[simonarturo]

I don't think I'll ever need that amount of storage space unless the games start being +2gb


on another note, I'm getting fed up with gamespot. Fuckers gave a 5 to Yggdra Union. I bet they didn't play more than 30 minutes of the game

Actually 16GB microSDHC's have been out recently, so it can go up to 32GB. Theoretically it should go up to 64GB. I wouldn't buy one of those 16GBs until a couple months pass though.

[Seshen]

^ This is a massive potential boost for the psp.
