Corpse Party: Book of Shadows Review
2011 saw the release of Corpse Party, a PSP title that took everyone by surprise. It changed the way the average gamer saw visual novels, and brought the genre to the attention of mainstream media. The good people at XSEED decided that we weren’t scared enough and brought over Corpse Party: Book of Shadows from Japan.

Elminage Original Review
Time and time again, I am surprised by the PSP. As soon as the well seems to be dry and there are no more new games for the system, I am met with newly localized games all the way from Japan. Most of the PSP games that have been coming in are JRPGs (Japanese role-play games), in particular dungeon crawlers such as Elminage Original.

Gungnir Review
With the onset of the PS Vita, most people would think that PSP games would start to slow down and stop coming out, with developers favoring the Vita. That isn’t the case however, as JRPGs of all kinds have been finding their way to the PSP and into the hands of Western gamers. One of those games that made it over in this final year or so of the PSP’s lifespan is Gungnir.

Corpse Party Review
Corpse Party, the first PSP visual novel to come to the US from Japan. Published by 5pb., and developed by Team GrisGris, American localization publisher XSEED thought that this game would be a great addition to their library. As it is already at a disadvantage for being in a genre that few gamers have experienced and with the PSP on its way out, can Corpse Party show us what we have been missing or will it fade away and die a gruesome death like its characters?

ClaDun x2 Review
ClaDun x2 has to be one of the more unique RPGs that I’ve played on the PSP so far. For one, the graphic style harkens back to the retro era of the NES and SNES. Is it unique enough to keep this reviewer’s attention?

World Heroes Review
World of Heroes is an SNK arcade game that has recently been made available on PSN. The game is a port; however, there are some new features that differentiate it from its arcade-only counterpart. Despite additions like a competitive multiplayer mode and updated graphics, the game suffers from being a mediocre fighting game that comes across as a clone of more popular franchises like Street Fighter.

As of late, SNK has been dropping quite a few of their arcade classics onto the PSN minis platform. At the reasonable price of $2.99, Ikari Warriors is cheaper than a gallon of gas, but is it still good a quarter of a century later?

In 2009, the now widely popular Angry Birds title was released for Apple’s iOS. Recently, the title has been ported to both the PS3 and PSP. Generally speaking, ports are hit or miss opportunities. Could the mobile puzzle title succeed on a more hardcore platform?

Lord of Arcana Review
With the huge success that Capcom has made with the Monster Hunter series, many other game developers are making their own hunter games to cash in on that success. One of those developers is Square Enix and Access Games with the release of Lord of Arcana. While Lord of Arcana borrows elements from Monster Hunter, it has enough going for it to have its own style. But is that enough?

Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle Review
With the release of Disgaea and its sequels during the past decade, Nippon Ichi has made a name for itself within the SRPG community. Phantom Brave: The Hermuda Triangle for the PSP is another title created by the developer in the same vein as the Disgaea franchise. The game was originally released on the Playstation 2 before being ported to both the Wii and PSP. With a credible developer behind the title, Phantom Brave held some merit before it was ever released.
