Harmonix and MTV Games today announced five new tracks available for download in the Rock Band Unplugged in-game music store for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. These additions bring the current total number of songs available in the Rock Band Unplugged music store to 19. This latest update brings another wide variety of musical genres to the game, including country music trio The Dixie Chicks, electric blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and alternative rock groups R.E.M. and The Pixies.
"We’re all on the can at least once a day, and it’s always a short escape from the rigors of our day-to-day lives. Time spent on the porcelain throne varies on the person, but if you own a portable game system then there’s a good chance that you’ve brought them with you on many occasions." - Joe Garcia
LOL! This is great! I'm always looking for games that are to good to play while sitting on the can. No, seriously.
SBG: "The Best to Own Forever series isn’t about what’s great right now. It’s about what will be great in 10 years, even though there will be better-looking games and later sequels, and what will keep you pulling that dusty old console out of the closet every once in a while. In this installment, we look at the PlayStation Portable."
Good list. Wanting to get Corpse Party on my Vita.
Though I would add Monster Hunter Freedom 2 (if you can read Japanese, then portable 3'rd) and Phantasy Star Portable 2, which had a very entertaining story behind it.
I loved my PSP, but when I got my Vita I gave it to a friend who loves JRPG's but never had the money for one.
The lack of Jeanne D'Arc on this list is disturbing. That is the best PSP game I've ever played.
The lack of peace walker is disturbing. That is one of the best games I have ever played period. Kind of a mediocre list imo.
gran turismo psp should be there since it took almost forever to be released!
and also midnight club 3 DUB edition since its a full PS2 game in the PSP!
While it's by no means an amazing game, people should play Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble. It's the closest thing to a 3D River City Ransom you're going to get.
And besides, who doesn't want to have an eye-laser showdown with a Japanese punkass schoolboy?
Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, video game publishers know what works and what doesn't on a portable system. Terrible games are a part of life, but it's rare to see a bad fit. At the end of the day, companies know a handheld's limitations.
I love portable games but some of these make sense I think. Rock Band Unplugged? Shakes head...
Yeah...they tried to capitalize on the series' popularity by porting it to every possible system. Such is the industry. :)
