Everything we said in our in-depth preview holds true. The music’s lovely, the anime-style graphics look nice and crisp, and combat’s swift and often challenging. Persona 3 Portable’s a great game.

Atlus didn’t just shovel out a quick port, they put a lot of work into miniaturizing such a good game, making it even better for vets and new fans alike.

Premium HBO content hits the PlayStation 3 and PSP.

XSEED Games has entered into a partnership with Nihon Falcom to bring Ys I & II Chronicles to the PSP, as well as Ys Seven, and Ys: The Oath in Felghana.

Even further proof that handhelds are the new refuge for traditional Japanese RPGs, Aksys Games announces Mimana Iyar Chronicles for the PSP, coming very, very soon to  UMD and as a digital download on the PlayStation Store. Written by the same folks behind the Lunar series and Tales of Destiny 2, the story centers around [...]

Lunar is back. The much-beloved RPG that first wowed gamers on the SEGA CD (and virtually every other console since) has returned in the form of Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, which  looks to be the definitive version of the game. While the crew works on the review, we decided to reach out to Jimmy Soga, [...]

The V-Screen from Realview promises “stunning depth enhancement for your PSP games” by making the 2D screen image “look and feel far more realistic and exciting.” At least that’s what the box says. Inside the box you’ll find a plastic case where the PSP goes, with a magnifying glass — the V-Screen — attached at [...]

Though it’s been out since January, it’s worth it to note that Realview’s V-Screen can turn all your 2D PSP games into a 3D experience. It works by enhancing perceived depth of field in the graphics to give you something that will pop out more as opposed to looking flat. This sounds similar to how modern day cinematography works in that your foreground can be more in focus and your background and mid-ground be out of focus and therefore a bit harder to see. However, I haven’t actually seen a demo of the product in action. They recommend it especially for racing games when you’re on the track and trying to tear it up. 2D NSFW content with this screen may be really something to check out.

I can vividly recall the first time that I met HipHopGamer; actually, the first time that I saw him. I was at an Activision party watching some skinny-pantsed hipsters spin the virtual wax, when I saw a dude bop into the room with a god damned wrestling belt strapped over his shoulder. I thought that [...]

Atlus doesn’t know when to quit. Not satisfied spoiling us with hardcore ridiculousness like Demon’s Souls and tons upon tons of Shin Megami Tensei games, they deem Feb. 23 the time to bestow Metal Slug XX for PSP upon us. A port of Metal Slug 7 for DS, Metal Slug XX (pronounced “double-ex”) heralds the [...]
