Mini Review LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival (PSP) - A Frustrating Yet Jubilant Jamboree
Bouncing back
LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival, a spin-off entry in the series from Japan Studio, released on the PSP in 2009 to mixed reviews. So it comes as a pleasant surprise to see it revitalised for PS5 and PS4 in the form of an enhanced emulation, with up-rendering, rewind, quick-save, Trophies (including a Platinum) and custom video filters. For...
Mini Review Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters (PSP) - Passable 2007 Debut of Series on PSP
Grind derails
Notable as the series' debut on the PSP, as well as for being developed by High Impact Games — and not by Insomniac Games — Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters stumbles slightly by slowing the pace of progression through the franchise's classic weapon and gadget upgrade structure. With a humdrum story set after Ratchet: Deadlocked,...
Mini Review Super Stardust Portable (PSP) - Single-Stick Shooting Falls Short
(Star)Dusting off retro titles
Housemarque's best known for its twin-stick shooters, with Resogun being a notable recent example. However, its space shooting series, Stardust, shouldn’t be forgotten. Originating back on the Amiga in 1993, it's been a huge inspiration for the modern twin-stick shooters we see today. Super Stardust Portable...
Review Killzone: Liberation (PSP) - Top-Down Shooter's a Bit of a Slog
Muddy aiming mars some nice ideas
The PSP was many things to many people, a delightful little slice of hardware that ended up with a pretty stellar library of ports and new games — but one thing you could never say about it was that it had a second analogue stick. That sole little control nub on its left had to do a heck of a lot of heavy lifting,...
Review Jeanne d'Arc (PSP) - Long Awaited Strategy RPG Remains Divine
The Maiden has arrived
Jeanne d'Arc is a pseudo-historical retelling of the story of Joan of Arc from developer Level-5, released on PSP in 2007. It always had a reputation as a rock-solid turn-based strategy RPG, but as publisher Sony never released the title in Europe and other territories, it was one many that players outside the U.S. and Japan...
Mini Review Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) - A Greatest Hits Album for Arcade Racing Royalty
Now that's what I call drifting
The original release of PSP's Ridge Racer 2 could be criticised for being almost exactly the same game as its predecessor, only with a few more tracks and modes. However, that doesn't really matter today, especially now it's one of the rare Ridge Racer titles playable on modern consoles. With its one blemish now moot,...

News Classic PS1, PSP Tales Remaster Leaks, But It Might Be a Nintendo Switch Exclusive
It's been an Eternia
Is it finally happening? Is Bandai Namco actually remastering one of the oldest Tales games? Apparently so, because a PEGI (European) age rating for Tales of Eternia Remastered has leaked online.
