GameFan Magazine: "Sony’s first foray into the portable market didn’t make quite the same splash here as it did on the other side of the Pacific, but it’s been more than adequate in delivering experiences that have dissipated from the home market, such as the JRPG. Gungnir, the latest from PSP supporter extraordinaire Atlus, pays a fine fair tribute. Even as the PSP slowly walks off into the sunset, it establishes itself as a strategy title that shouldn’t be missed."
Oprainfall begins their Game of the Year coverage with best DS game, best PSP game, Hottest Guy, Hottest Gal, Best Hero, and Best Villain.
The big upcoming release is Borderlands 2 and we've found a sale on the DLC subscription so you can be ready when those extras start rolling out. None of the big three (Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon) have the console versions discounted, so you'll probably only find deals if you're looking for the PC download. Elsewhere, you can get the new NHL 13 collector's edition for the same price as the standard edition, and Green Man Gaming is really showing THQ some love.
In Norse tradition, Gungnir is the mighty spear wielded by Odin. On the PSP, it’s a newly-Americanized Japanese Strategy RPG brought to North America by Atlus. With its focus on grid-based gameplay and strategy, Gungnir does offer something different for PSP gamers, and that alone makes it worth the attention of JPRG fans.
Why does the PSP show more signs of life than the Vita?
