PSP

Here we have all the games in the PSP Section.
PSP
Simulation
Get to date the members of the Akiba hit band AKB48 with real photos and voice acting. Its possible to call the members by phone or meet in person and players must select which course of action to take in response to the ladies queries. And with the “48” of the band name being based on the number of members of the band, players certainly have plenty to keep busy to fill their bikini photo collection.
PSP
A Bit Special
Clever use of word linking in the title as players get to savour the delights of the otaku’s Mecca (or should that be mecha?) That is Akihabara. Its possible to explore the game shops, electrical stores, anime haunts and obligatory maid cafes with authentic realism in terms of layout. Plenty of fliers and Aikiba info can be viewed. Battles also ensue and those taking a beating tend to lose their dignity instead of getting a cauliflower ear in an intriguing take on the Yakuza series, hence the title. A clever concept covering all bases and uncovering a few surprises.
PSP
Simulation
A board game simulation that draws heavily on Japanese culture with traditional music and games. Progress on the board leads to mini game challenges.
PSP
Shooter
Its possible to pick up and mash a few buttons in this superb incarnation of the Formula Front series. Yet to truly prosper players must pilot their mech to its strengths whilst being aware of its weaknesses. The fact Genki likes to hit and run may reveal too much about our character.
PSP
A Bit Special
Intriguing project that exudes Sony chic on the PSP. Basically a compilation of mini games pulled together on the premise of the rise in part-time work in modern Japan. Players save their very hard-earned cash to buy strange gashapons in the hope of unlocking another job, whilst chatting to their fellow part-time friends via the in game emails to pick up tips. An initial four games are available: catching baseballs to try and get up to a thousand. Putting pen caps on biros with an unhinged soundtrack to really feel the daily grind and mess with your sanity. Crossing the road frogger style avoiding the high speed cars. Finally counting pedestrians as they dart across a busy street. All executed with great style. A surprising unknown cracker in the PSP world.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Due to the game not supporting online play, this cunning pack comes with two copies of the game. So a gaming buddy has no excuse for not getting a good pasting. Looking very glitzy on the small screen full of neon and lushly shaded characters that would surely win any anime con.

PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
The huge series has its roots here, but its hardly a humble first edition with delicious cel shaded sprites and plenty of visual pyrotechnics to truly cross the bridge between anime and gaming, even if it looks more like the bridge between the living and underworld at times. The PSP was designed for titles like this.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Ten colourful characters with two more unlockable in this veritable showcase for the PSP’s processing prowess with crisp, cel shaded graphics straight out of the smash anime series. Add to that the speed lines and the over the top special moves and you have a must buy for anime fight fans.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Bringing the intensity of the manga source material to the PSP and looking droolingly swish: full of colour, spped lines and streamlined cel shaded graphics making it like savouring the anime version at times. New moves and modes with the pizzaazz of the spirit attacks thankfully remaining in tact.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
With a mighty cast of around seventy characters and over fifty of those playable, there’s certainly plenty to get your teeth and fists into in this latest instalment of the chic, cel shaded combat extravaganza. Looks can indeed kill and the in game action has the feel of the anime – a definite thumbs up.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
The anime’s distinct and sometimes creepy look with lurchingly tall characters has carried over effortlessly and the whole production oozes the sort of vintage claret class you’d expect from the series. Two player tag battles are a joy with what look like extras from Spirited Away but the lightening gameplay gives little opportunity to admire the scenery.

PSP
Action
With a mighty cast of assailants, there’s certainly plenty to get your teeth and fists into in this off shoot of the chic, cel shaded combat extravaganza. More of a cutesy approach has been taken with the look and the action is firmly rooted in 2D scrolling fight fun making for some frantic action using the dash attack. The in game action has the feel of the anime having captured the essence excellently – a definite thumbs up.
PSP
Action
Bomberman has a charm that seems eternal, especially hard to beat in multiplayer. Handhelds are perfectly suited for the game as its not possible to keep a close eye on opponents adding much adrenalin as a tidy amount of TNT suddenly rolls past. Hudson has done a very fine conversion: not overcooking the processing power to compromise the tasty morsels of gaming heaven on offer. Instead a funky, fly Tokyo style gives the title new impetus.
PSP
Action
Not too sure how excessive amounts of TNT help ensure that colourful Bomberman Land is pieced back together again, but that is the challenge of the one player story mode. The excellent four player mode is possible with only one copy of the game though making for some devilishly delightful gameplay – one of the most engrossing multiplayer mash ups ever. Also included are the mini game attractions from the PS3 big brother making for a well-rounded package.
PSP
RPG
An unusual setting for a role playing game being set inside an all female prison. The combat is tuned based. Players must toe the line or face being punished by means of a good spanking. That is not to say Genki approves of spanking. Nor do we wish to be blocked for references to it!
PSP
Action
Its easy to see where Danball’s success has sprung from with the simple concept of battling model robots. Players pop along to the friendly model shop and the latest figures can be kitted out to battle around the varying arenas. However the combat itself is demanding and the intuitive controls help gain much kudos amongst your pals.
PSP
Action
Hugely successful series in its native Japan and this PSP update utilises everything that has made the game the success it is. The model based robots have never looked so luscious in their cel shaded glory and the ability to run around the main shopping street before popping into battle world keeps the gaming varied. Yet its the combat where this excels to levels to keep the most demanding otaku happy.
PSP
RPG
Team based RPG with very impressive amount of polygons shifted around by the hardware along with the quality orchestral score. Players must fight hard at times to clear the quest: the giant tarantula boss being a particular hurdle for those with arachnophobia.
PSP
Simulation
Slot machine simulator based on the emotional, epic anime full of hard love known as Kyojin no Hoshi (or Star of the Giants.) The story of the anime features young Hoshi as he battles through gruelling training and beatings from his strict father to become a pitcher for the Tokyo Giants. Its unlikely father would have approved of the fruit machine gambling exploits, but a top baseball player must squander their cash on something.
PSP
Shooter
Run and gun has never been quite this much fun as D3 shows its youth wasn’t all mis-spent knocking out B-movie style budget games. Alien invaders swarm and the screen is over-run with them at times, but the hardware handles it superbly.
PSP
Sports
Fine scaling to ensure the on pitch action also remains on-screen. Graphically very sound and a smooth passing engine with the razzmatazz of the crowd and excitable commentators.
PSP
One on One Beat Em Up
Creates a 3D fighter in the Naruto mould using cel shaded sprites that literally make the manga comes to life on the PSPs crisp screen. Thankfully the gratuitous violence the series is famous for is missing with this being a Cero A release, but it doesn’t distract from the gruff, moody atmosphere. Destructible environs add to the excitement of bouts. Arc System Works has quite a CV of fight titles and it adds another title to its burgeoning belt.
PSP
Action
Steampunk inspired fast-paced fight action with over the top special moves and a plethora of speed lines.
PSP
Action
A heady mix of high school, a yakuza style teacher and a few students who don’t mind a scrap. Even a few maid costumes thrown in there – not too sure how they manage to get involved in the story. Plenty of fisticuffs with a few side quests such as fishing thrown in for good measure. Title translates as Wild Teacher In High School.
PSP
Simulation
Set in the warring period in Japan’s history, this title involves plenty of action in the battlefield with a bit of tactical nous needed every now and then to help your quest. Take on rival clans in fully pitched battles to become the ultimate Daimyo, but be warned desire can never be quenched; so choose your battles carefully so as not to stretch your resources too thinly on the ground.
PSP
Action
Humongous, huge monsters require equally monstrously proportioned weapons to slice at them in this action themed series with anime overtures and J pop soundtracks making it a well-respected series.
PSP
Simulation
Romance quest game for ladies with a plethora of gentlemen of effeminate, sensitive looks with long, straightened hair to converse with about starry skies and blue oceans.
PSP
Shooter
Gundam excels in the space based adventures stakes with the helping hand of Bandai keeping players on track in the seemingly unconfined universe. The avatars also crank up the tension and blur the boundary between anime and gaming.
