MWHAAHAA! If you have played What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? and What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord 2!? then you are already aware of all the ‘dungeoneering’ fun this game brings, and will truly “dig” the new features such as strategically utilizing water in your dungeons to create pools that spawn new monsters and disrupt the heroes!

Hey guys, Chris here from Perpetual FX. We’re really excited to finally announce what we’ve been working on exclusively for PSN : Top Hand Rodeo Tour ! We are creating something no one has ever seen before, as there has been no rodeo game that will compare visually and from a gameplay standpoint. Here’s a sneak peak of what it will take for you to become the top hand. Check it out! With Top Hand Rodeo Tour, we really wanted to bring the full experience of professional rodeo to anyone and everyone asrealistically as possible. That’s why we chose to work with the PlayStation Move motion controller. Everything in the game you play, see and hear was created from scratch and designed from the ground up for a completely fresh take on the modern face of rodeo. We have a ton planned for the game, including a variety of white-knuckle events like calf roping and team roping. We also are currently working on never-before-seen barrel and mounted shooting mechanics and track configurations, all of which will be playable in highly competitive online and local multiplayer. For those of you who really want to channel your inner-cowboy, you’ll be able to customize your cowboy, cowgirl and horse visually, as well as upgrade and customize their statistics helping you down the line as the levels get better and faster. Bottom line, we couldn’t be happier about working exclusively with Sony and using PlayStation Move to bring you guys and girls the most unique take on rodeo this side of the Rio Grande. Let us know what y’all think and be sure to check out our website for more information.

White Knight Chronicles 2 was released just last July in Japan and already we’re looking at another WKC. This one’s not coming to the PS3, though. Sony has now formally announced White Knight Chronicles Episode.Portable: Dogma Wars
The fabled PSP version of PlayStation 3 RPG White Knight Chronicles , which we reported on back in June , is finally beginning to step into the light a bit. Sony Computer Entertainment revealed a few more choice details behind the game in this week’s Famitsu magazine, including the full name of the thing: White Knight Chronicles Episode Portable: Dogma Wars . What’ll be most interesting to those who played the PlayStation 3 WKC is the setting. Episode Portable is set a whopping 10,000 years before the original WKC and its Japan-only sequel, long before Leonard uncovered the titular knight and saved the world from the revived empire of Yshrenia. In the PSP game, the original Yshrenia is still in existence, and they’re busy fighting the Dogma Wars, the conflict that spawned the giant Incorruptus robots…erm, sorry, magical suits of armor that were the centerpiece of the PS3 game’s plot. Details are a bit skimpy on what the PSP White Knight Chronicles plays like, but chances are it won’t stray too far from the original’s formula. Like in the first WKC, you’ll create an original avatar character before anything else, someone who’ll join your party in the single-player campaign and later take center stage in the online component. There’s a variety of new clothing and the like to outfit him in…and that’s about all Sony is saying right now.
Aww, poor PSP — it’s like you’ve been sitting out in the rain, looking through the window at all of the other consoles, laughing and having a good time together with Puzzle Quest 2 . Well, come on in, buddy! You’ve finally been invited to the party. IGN reports that Sony’s handheld will indeed receive a port of Puzzle Quest 2 , launching “towards the end of 2010.” Oddly enough, the IGN piece mentions the game will be available for download via PSN and makes no mention of a UMD release. We’ve gone ahead and contacted the game’s publisher, D3, for clarification. Along with extreme tardiness , the PSP port brings with it a new game mode called Elite. Here, the difficulty of enemies has been ramped up, naturally yielding better rewards for players and more chances to throw your PSP to the ground in frustration.

Capcom revealed in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine that Monster Hunter Portable 3rd , the third game in what’s become a million-selling PSP series in Japan, is hitting stores sooner than most folks expected. The game is due out December 1 in the country for a price of 5800 yen, placing it well into the holiday shopping season for Japanese gamers — who, if they’re fans of the portable monster hunting genre, may find themselves scrambling for time and/or spending money in a few months. It’ll come hot on the heels of Square Enix’s Lord of Arcana (October 14), Namco Bandai’s God Eater Burst (October 28), and Sega’s Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (sometime this winter), all inspired by the Monster Hunter series in one way or another. That’s a lot of slaving dragons and such about to meet their doom, isn’t it? MHP3rd will be fully playable at the Tokyo Game Show starting September 16, so stay tuned for more coverage.
The worst game ever just got upgraded.
