PSP Roundup Comments by James Lyon

Bit late with the PSP stuff, aren't we? These have been out for AGES!

i have the US version of ATV it came out over there almost 2 years ago!

Do you mean every TV program ever released after the first series of heroes? Or just season 2 & 3?
For me its every TV program ever released after Nathan Barley.

Super Stardust PSP review please! It's out on the PSN Store.

It is? And I just checked the store a few hours ago.

EDIT: you're right there it is! Maybe I missed it somehow ... purchased and downloading the 78MB now, from the size of it it's definitely a suitable one to keep on the old MS, but the video I saw didn't look too compelling to be honest (too spoilt with the excellent PS3 version no doubt).

EG2 is a 10 for me. Best game on the system. If you are looking for MP online just join a like minded group. There are games to be had.

I tried the game extremely briefly and it seems competent, although it's weird not having the planet around you, which makes this a more traditional sort of asteroids. But the three weapons are still there (d-pad), as is the boost (L) and the bomb (R). Moving is analog, shooting around you works with the face buttons which you can use basically as a d-pad (two buttons give you a diagonal) but if you keep more buttons pressed you automatically fire in a circular motion, which is very useful of course for the fire weapon. The first section ended with one of those nuclear plant things that explodes in Stardust HD in survivor mode, so things have been mixed up a bit.

Framerate is very smooth, graphics look pretty decent, effects seem fairly excellent - not the PS3, but certainly PSP worthy.

That's all I can say for now, as I have to go back to work.

PSWhatnow?

Just ask at the EG2 thread and we can fix a game up at your convenience.

The only feature I ask for now is the ability to save your best shots to memory stick to transfer to a friend/PC. Then I won't have to fiddle about with deleting so many of my eagles :p
