Another one for the collection! :)

Maticus5442d ago

Awesome news, not long to wait :)

AndyA5442d ago

I really wish EA and Harmonix weren't following the Guitar Hero model, with handheld releases and band-specific games.

Leord5442d ago

Why not have the game as a platform, with "expansions" in terms of music?

Fyzzu5442d ago

This isn't much like Rock Band in some respects, though - it's got more of an emphasis on Frequency or Amplitude-style play. And to some extent the game *is* a platform, with the new songs in this being put onto the Music Store for the other systems later anyway.

AndyA5442d ago

No, it's not particularly like Rock Band except in terms of presentation. I just don't see the point in it. You'd think EA would be trying to sort out the mess it made of the Rock Band 2 release.

Montrealien5442d ago

This is the closest thing we will get to a proper amp/freq game and a must buy for me. One of the things that would completely blow me away is if Sony came up to Harmonix to do a proper sequel to those games and put it on the PSN, that would be simply amazing, you guys have no idea how may hours I spent online playing frequency and amplitudethose games where amazing and years ahead of their time. why the f*ck are ATV off road fury 4 servers still up, yet the amplitude/freq servers are shut down? Tell me sony! TELL ME!!!

The Daily Five: Best Bathroom Games

"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

Joe Garcia hears that latter bit a lot. :(

MikeyDucati13908d ago

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 10 best PSP games to own forever

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.

gaffyh4288d ago

The lack of Jeanne D'Arc on this list is disturbing. That is the best PSP game I've ever played.

TheFirstClassic4288d ago

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.

tachy0n4289d ago

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!

Krimmson4288d ago

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?

neutralgamer194288d ago

Havent been able to get into corpse party. I dont like it too much.

Games That (Probably) Shouldn't Have Gone Portable (Modojo)

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.

Hitman07694742d ago

I love portable games but some of these make sense I think. Rock Band Unplugged? Shakes head...

Buff10444742d ago

Yeah...they tried to capitalize on the series' popularity by porting it to every possible system. Such is the industry. :)
