Pretty straight forward boxart.
Turnabout is a puzzle game coming to PSN that has 150 puzzles in it! I haven’t heard of this game before, so we’ll see if people are excited for it, but admitantly, I’ll be playing LBP Vita today instead of this… but if you’re looking for a new puzzle game, you got it!
No idea if this works on Vita, one would assume it should.

PSVita-PSP Friendship
This info has been out for a while, Siliconera found out that the PSVita can play ad-hoc mode with PSPs. They received this info while speaking to Square Enix about their Lord of Apocalypse title, the sequel to their Monster Hunter clone for the PSP. This means that if you want to play a psp mutliplayer game with your friends, but you only have a Vita and they have PSPs, you’ll be set to do so. This is obviously something that should have been included and it’s great to see that Sony is doing their best not to separate the player base over their portable consoles. Considering as well that the price of original PSP games is just going to plummet in the next few months leading up to the PSVita release it could make that digital library all the more intriguing for new Vita owners.
Che Guevera and Fidel Castro, Stars of their own video game
Having just done a review on communist video games, this news is actually pretty cool. Neo Geo games have been coming out for the PSP and PS3 recently, and four titles were rated today by the ESRB. Athena, HAL21, Ikari Warriors, and Guerilla War. Now I’ve never heard about these games, but the last one, Guerilla War apparently was called Guevera in Japan, and they just changed the localization in the West so we wouldn’t get all anti-communist on em (this was 1987 after all).
Hopefully the PSP2 will look this Gorgeous. - Image Via notcliche.com
It’s inevitable that the PSP will have a successor, and it goes without saying that it will be a powerful device (by some reports the chipset within will be between the power of the original Xbox and the 360). But a handheld needs more that just power to be successful. Also for today’s world the PSP brand needs to evolve to compete with not just the DS, but the iPhone that corners the market with music and keeping in touch; and is moving head first into the games industry.
If you have a PSP, you now have a portable playstation 1. The emulator does an excellent job with most titles meaning you can be sobbing over Final Fantasy 7’s story while taking the bus. Just make sure you have a decent sized memory stick and a packet of tissues…
PS1 games are getting a little long in the tooth so the graphics aren’t as pretty as they once were. Luckily with the PS3 in your corner PS1 games are smoothed over to look extra pretty. The PSP is no slouch either; because of the smaller screen PSone classics look great and can keep you immersed longer than those same graphics thrown up onto a big screen. That’s why it’s best to play them on your PSP system.
