The PSP is an excellent system that I almost never have time for. Henry noticed that I have Burnout Paradise but that’s about it as far as games I’d take to a desert island. Consequently I haven’t been following the RPG scene on the little handheld. Good, bad, Japanese, what? Good thing I have a guy named MIKE ANDERSEN who works for RPGWatch and handles our own THIS WEEK IN GAMES. Please help him! Post your answers in the message board that appears after you enter the article. Good RPGs for PSPs and WHY? Bonus Points for whomever can identify the screen shot upper left. Questioner is probably between 14-18. Keep that in mind.

As the new year begins, we still have scant few new releases. Great time to deal with the ‘hangover’ from the massive list of fall releases! Check out the list! more…

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Happy Hanukah, are enjoying Kwanzaa, or are just enjoying some time off. Another minimal release week with nothing really worth highlighting. Check out the list! more…

By now the publishers are obviously assuming that you have either bought everything you have planned to buy, are out of money, or are focused on the upcoming holiday. Whatever the reason, the busy fall release season is pretty much over. Big releases this week? The Wii release of Rock Band and the XBOX360 / PS3 / PC releases of Rise of the Argonauts. Check out the rest of the list! more…

The dwindling release list continues to shrink as we get nearer to Christmas. This week we have only fourteen releases, which would have been a slow release week for the DS just a month or so ago! There are no real big releases, mostly just new versions of stuff that came out in previous weeks and a couple of hold-overs from prior weeks. So my choice is the sequel to a PSP game that I thought had a great idea if a lackluster implementation:Dungeon Maker II: The Hidden War. Check out the rest of the list! more…

The new releases are definitely starting to wind down for the holiday’s - aside from a load of DS shovelware most platforms are pretty thin on new games. The biggest release this week comes from the multiplatform release of Prince of Persia. Their is also a multiplatform release of Tales of Despereaux in anticipation of the big holiday movie release. Other than that it is mostly minor releases and leftivers fromprevious weeks. It is interesting that the PSP again has no releases, and last week’s Mytran Wars has yet to appear at retail, making it 3 of 4 weeks with no new games. Check out the rest of the list! more…

Apparently the tide has turned from the flood of releases to taking time to make sure to sell everything. This is evidenced by the fact that all three of Sony’s platforms combine for three new games this week, with one a leftover from last week and the PS3 getting no new games at all. The biggest release this week comes from the DS - the hotly anticipated remake of Chrono Trigger. The DS also gets a new Age of Empires game to follow the well recieved original release from 2005. Other than that … well, not much in terms of major releases. Well, maybe Gothic 3 Collector’s Edition will actually come out this week and deliver me the expansion supposedly released last week (but apparently not despite a press release to the contrary). Check out the rest of the list! more…

Perhaps the interesting note this week is not that just abou every platform has a large release list with some standout games, but that the PSP has only one game … and it is a multiplatform game coming out on every platform. My personal ‘game overload’ comes from two PC expansions to major RPG’s - Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods(PC) and Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir(PC). Other highlights include Shaun White Snowboarding (Xbox 360/PS3/Wii/PS2/PSP/DS/PC), Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (Xbox 360/PS3), Tomb Raider Underworld(Xbox 360/PS3/Wii/DS/PC), and Animal Crossing: City Folk (Wii).

Another week, another massive list … and perhaps the biggest release this week is ‘massive’ indeed - World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King Expansion Pack (PC). Other highlights include Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360/PS3/Wii/PSP/DS/PC), Mirror’s Edge (Xbox 360/PS3), Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (Xbox 360), and Star Wars Clone Wars games for both the DS and Wii.

With another massive list of new games this week, there is once again something for everyone! While perhaps not as massive as last week, there are some big games this week - from Gears of War 2, and Resistance 2 to the multiplatform release ofTom Clancy’s End War that includes an interesting turn-based game for the DS and PSP. Check out the rest of the list! more…
