NIS America is prepping Generation of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection for a February 2013 release for the PSP. It will be a digital release on the PlayStation Network. Of course, this strategy RPG is a Generation of Chaos series...

I'm not the biggest RPG nut, but over my last decade of gaming, I have appreciated most of the RPGs I've played. After starting on Pokemon, I've played a Final Fantasy or two, and even delved into Persona....

Everytime I put my PSP down, something comes out to make me pick it back up. And it's usually an RPG. That said, I have no problems with new title releases late in the system's life, especially when they're as engaging as Gro...

We knew that Wizorb was headed to the PlayStation Store as a minis title, but now we have a firm date for North America: Tuesday, July 24. It'll be playable on PS3, PSP, and "eventually" on Vita. Wizorb is in the same vein a...

If you like strategy RPGs then you'll know exactly who Sting is. As a SRPG fan I eat up their releases as fast as they can put them out. Currently, I'm gnawing on PSP game Gungnir, which should be hitting shelves right about...

Did you miss Final Fantasy III on the DS or on iOS? Maybe you can give it another go on the PSP, as Square Enix has just announced this new version. Andriasang says it's based of the DS game, with some additions from the iOS...

Yep, that Jay Z. And he's not only adding to the soundtrack. 2K says that he'll "lend artistic vision" to upcoming b-ball title NBA 2K13 as its Executive Producer. The 14-time Grammy winner and part-owner of the Brooklyn Net...

The choice was simple: Go indie or go big. However, over the past console generation, this changed. Now, some indies make more money than major studios, and “going indie” has become a fair bit more difficult th...

The wonderful guys at Spike Chunsoft who gave us gamers an excuse to beat up tons of cocky, chauvinistic, angst-ridden Japanese delinquents time and time again are about to give us yet another offering. It's time for Ke...

Silent Hill: Book of Memories has been a controversial release, despised almost from the outset by fans who viewed it as a betrayal of the series, an abandonment of the survival horror trappings that apparently must be reflec...

As part of SNK's new "Arcade Classics" program, old dog SAR - Search and Rescue is on it's way to the Playstation Network. Evidently, back in the day, SNK wasn't sure that people would know what SAR meant, so they included th...

The news that everyone knew was coming but wanted to hear anyway has broke: Atlus has announced that Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is coming to PSP on May 17th, 2012 in Japan. Eternal Punishment was the only part of Persona 2...

George Carlin said baseball was known as America's national pastime because "it takes so damn long to play a game." He was right. Never is this more clear than in playing simulated baseball in a videogame. While it does often retain the fun and excitement of being at the ballpark, it can also unintentionally include the tedium as well. Guess what MLB 2K12 includes?

To say that Eternity's Child was a disappointment would be a massive understatement. It was an ambitious platformer with gorgeous artwork that really looked promising. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. No...

2K Sports' next baseball game, MLB 2K12, launches on March 6, 2012, for 360, PS3, Wii, PC, PS2, PSP, and DS. It will be the only simulation baseball title available on the Xbox 360, where MLB 2K12 alone will retail for $59.99...

You know what could have made PSP game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker better? A second analog stick. Do you know what has a second analog stick? The PlayStation Vita. Deduct -50 points if you were a smartass and answered "PS...

The PSP, along with the DS, has sort of been a last haven for Japanese RPGs. Companies like Atlus, XSEED, and Aksys Games have kept these handhelds, as well as the abovementioned genre, alive by continuing to feed Ameri...

It's a shame that the humble visual novel so rarely sees a release outside of Japan. Games like those in the Ace Attorney series have helped generate interest out here in the west, but they are still far from commonplace. How...

Here's a trailer for a game that someone in the comments of this article first brought up. I thought about the best way to phrase the title of this post, but in the end, the name of the game itself says it all. Listen to Me,...

Just the term "PlayStation Mini" seems to be a running gag among some people, as games under the Mini umbrella appear to be regarded, sweepingly, with puzzling derision or plain indifference. That never made sense to me, espe...

I don't think anyone was too worried about a Final Fantasy title not making it out of Japan, but it has happened before. We were left hanging on PSP title Final Fantasy Type-0, but the latest issue of Famitsu confirms that it...

After recently wrapping up his work murdering chocobos in Final Fantasy Type-0, Square Enix man Hajime Tabata has begun to discuss what his next project might be. In an interview in this week's Famitsu, the Cri...

Physics-based puzzle games have become more popular recently, thanks in no small part to the growing popularity of mobile gaming. While many of those games are clever, entertaining, and a grand way to kill time, they don't al...

Here's a cute trailer for the coming conclusion of the epic LEGO Harry Potter saga, LEGO Harry Potter: Years-5-7. Voldemort is working on being creepy but we all know what he really just wants in life (unlife? re-life?) is to be loved. Perhaps this little boost to his self-image will do the trick.  

If financial domination was EA's goal then FIFA just scored big time. EA has released financial figures for fiscal 2012 that indicate it was a banner year for FIFA, pulling a record $108 million between microtransactions and ...

One runs at a lower resolution, looks worse, and only has access to one analog stick on the PSP. The other looks pretty and shiny on the Vita, and adds touchscreen control as well as a second analog stock. But both are t...

One of my favorite things about my local arcade is its Pop‘n Music cabinet. Slamming the machine's big, illuminated buttons to remixes of classic Konami themes is one of my favorite things to do on the weekend. Most g...

As if it wasn't a slap in the face enough that Valkyria Chronicles 3 still does not have a Western release date, an "Extra Edition" of the game is being made which is currently exclusive for, you guessed it, Japan. The new v...

It's 8am, and I'm drinking my morning tea and going through my press releases and work mail like I do every morning when I find a message from EA pointing me to the premiere trailer for the fourth multiplayer expansion pack ...

Sigh... Capcom, what are you doing? You slashed the prices of several Mega Man titles on PSN, and now you are releasing a discounted double pack of the two remakes on PSP? What kind of message are you sending us? I am confuse...

Developer Laughing Jackal is apparently really into zombies and explosions, judging by its new PSP Mini title, OMG-Z. And who isn't, really? The premise of OMG-Z is simple: zombies have infested the world, and it's your job ...

The masters of spotting gaming trademarks, Siliconera, has found another. Namco Bandai has trademarked Heroes Phantasia as a potential title in Japan. That's really all we know for now. The name instantly makes me think of on...

A title called Rebuild of Evangelion Sound Impact is coming from Namco Bandai, and it sounds like one of the many strange things that comes out of Japan that we'll probably never play. But wait: Grasshopper Manufacture is lis...

During yesterday's show we were pleasantly surprised when David "Papa" Bruno from Sega showed up with great prizes for the community. He also dropped off a title we have been waiting to get our hands on, Valkyria Chronicles. Today we will be flying into this game for the first time. Join us at 4-8PM PST on Justin.Tv/Destructoid.

As someone who grew up in the ’80s, I have fond memories of these rubber WWF toys that I’d ricochet all over my house. Drop Hulk Hogan on his rubbery toes in just the right place and he’d spring forward, sma...

Keeping annualized sports franchises fresh year after year is an unenviable task, especially within the constraint of a ten- or eleven-month development cycle. Generally, sports-game developers endeavor to bring a few importa...

It's pretty rare to see a new 2D platformer series featuring a cute animal mascot, but with two games now under his belt, Prinny has officially achieved that status. It's even more incredible when you consider Prinny's origin...

Milking a franchise is one thing, but if you hook a milk machine up to a cow for long enough eventually nothing's going to be left. The cow's going to fall over, die, and the only thing you'll be sucking out are the innards o...

Simplicity.  Sometimes a simplistic concept can be an amazing one.  Take this game for example.  A Space Shooter for 2 Bucks! takes the shoot 'em up genre and doesn't try to clone geometry wars, doesn't try to ...

UK indies Mediatonic sure are a busy bunch. Not only did they release a ton of browser games for the likes of Adult Swim and SEGA, as well as mobile games, but their previous PSP Minis title Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princ...

Reviewing a game that you've already played in some other form is usually pretty easy. And to be honest, it's rarely ever quite as good the second time around. These days, with everything being ported and translated, the chan...
