Wohohoho, bleach soul carnival!

I'M LANJIAO. @ Oct 19th 2008 9:49AM

finally bleach soul carnival has arrived

Bannock @ Oct 19th 2008 9:53AM

Ahh, Star Ocean 1, at long last. I am happy now.

aj @ Oct 19th 2008 10:43PM

I second that emotion. I'm a huge Star Ocean fan, and can't wait to play this game.

yes! 2 of my favorite games (crash mind over mutant and midnight club la remix) have been released, on my birthday!

Arctrick @ Oct 19th 2008 7:04PM

Happy Birthday! And yeah, great list, though I don't like StarOcean...

Wow @_@

they are really milking the bleach franchise. well, if it works, it works *shrugs shoulders*

Star Ocean is looking phenomenal and definitely worth picking up.

But I'm also really interested in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (it's looking damn fine) and MCLA Remix (I've heard great things about the PSP version from previews).

Oh boy, what a nice week!

I'd totally get Bleach Soul Carnival if it was an US release... but since it's not, I'll have to choose wisely. My second choice would be Midnight Club, only if it has a steady framerate; if not, I'll get Star Ocean... even tho it looks like crap.

What always pisses me off about these is how many Europeans and Americans talk about how the PSP has no games, and while I can reference huge backlogs of titles, the list would be so much larger if we got more localizations. Stupid pirates. Hopefully the 3000 is the beginning of the end for them.

Khaled @ Oct 19th 2008 2:38PM

YES I HOPE ITS THE END of pirates. if 3000 doesn't get hacked, ill get it, then bring on da games !

David Black @ Oct 19th 2008 1:02PM

Hey Majed, which of these titles will you guys be reviewing?

Gurbinder @ Oct 19th 2008 1:56PM

I want a review of midnight club LA remix plz plz plz. I cant trust ign .gamespot and the other sites, they have poor reviews on everything.

Don @ Oct 19th 2008 1:52PM

Sad but true.

I really appreciate all the PSPfanboy coverage of non-Star Ocean games on that list..... oh wait.....

Gurbinder @ Oct 19th 2008 2:03PM

I guess this means psp is back with releases? Can someone post how many sales the software industrys getting, specifically which games are selling how much?

Panathas17 @ Oct 19th 2008 2:15PM

Wrong link for the Spider-man game - gives us a Wii version...

Panathas17 @ Oct 19th 2008 2:16PM

That's the NA one BTW...

Dr Haisook @ Oct 19th 2008 3:55PM

I wouldn't get Star Ocean. I know those so-called 'revamped' decade-old games that Square Enix publishes are all the same. I've tried FF1/2 Anniversary Editions, and the GAMEPLAY sucked (graphics and sound were OK). From reading the reviews, it's the same case with this game, so avoid it, and look out for original or at least not-so-old releases.

andwhyisit @ Oct 19th 2008 10:29PM

You are obviously talking about SO2 because there is a massive graphical difference between SO1 and SO:FD.

Oh and SO1 was brilliant for its time. I recommend this.

aj @ Oct 19th 2008 10:42PM

Final Fantasy 1 and 2 were NES games. I don't think they can do much about the gameplay. Those were pretty weird candidates for the PSP treatment, really. Especially when the GBA cart had both games on it.

Jeremy @ Oct 19th 2008 3:56PM

Don't take this as a sign of anything improved in terms of number of games - in fact, we're only getting 4 this week because 2 of them (maybe 3) were delayed.

Also, if you subtract budget re-releases, I think NA is getting the same number of games as the Japan. (or it's close)
