The Video Game Revue

PSP?

"Fritzkrieg Games Week" is being held over for another week, and perhaps longer. :) I didn't manage to get the good ending in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance yet, but I started just a little on Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. It's difficult putting off Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow as it looks so great, and I might crack that one open sooner rather than later. I also made it further in Ace Combat 5, but I haven't started Devil May Cry 3 yet, nor have I made any progress on Xenogears (but I remember where I left off at least!)

One thing I wanted to post about is the growing appeal that PSP is starting to have for me. I've thought about getting one before as a portable media device for movies and mp3s, but not so much for the games. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories looks good on it, and sure, I've been curious about Lumines, but what's really drawing my attention these days are games for it like Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max, Me & My Katamari, and especially announced RPG games including a new Valkyrie Profile game, and a new Nippon Ichi RPG. It certainly isn't the boquet of wonderful games that the DS has to offer for the near future, but it's enough to grab my attention at least.

It's a shame that PSPs aren't cheaper, or simple curiosity might be enough of a reason to invest in one. Of course, I'm not sure that I have the time to spare for it anyway; my Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2 are sucking up almost all of my gaming attention these days. But I could imagine some kind of freaky future scenerio in which I am holding a PSP.
