Legend of Heroes II: The Prophecy of the Moonlight...

PSP Preview | The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch

PlayStation 2 gamers are spoiled for choice when it comes to role-playing games, both great and small. On the other hand, the PSP has... well, just some small ones. The first Legend of Heroes to hit the PSP- last year's A Tear of Vermillion - was a modest success, paving the road for a sequel, and what might be the PSP's first successful RPG series. Legend of Heroes II: The Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch is practically indistinguishable from last year's game, delivering plenty of highly ...

E3 06: The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the...

PSP Preview | The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch

The original Legend of Heroes game rolled back the clock about ten years. It showed us that - given a great-looking PSP facelift - classic-style role playing has a place in our pockets. Legend of Heroes II plays it so close to its six month-old sibling that it's tough to even tell them ...

Legend of Heroes III - hands-on

PSP Preview | Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean

We recently got a chance to try out this third installment in the PSP's most prolific action RPG series, and while there's plenty here you've seen before, there are some four-legged reasons to check it out. Just be sure you wear your flea collar. The game begins with the traditional series of events - more than necessary, actually - that sets main characters Forte, Una and Forte's grandfather, McBain (we'll pause here to let Simpsons fans make the traditional reference to goggles) off on a ...

First look at Legend of Heroes III

PSP Preview | Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean

Recently, we got our first look at the third (fifth in Japan) installment of the Legend of Heroes series: Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean. The game follows several central characters, including: McBain, a grandfather looking for one last adventure; Forte, a young man taking up the troubadour lifestyle of his grandfather; and Aida, a possible love interest of Forte. The story begins with McBain receiving a magical map with the power to lead him Resonance ...

LEGO Batman - updated impressions

PSP Preview | LEGO Batman: The Videogame

We've been seeing a lot of LEGO Batman recently, mostly in the form of new screens, but it wasn't until this week's Game Developer's Conference that we got to see the plasticized caped crusader in action. And we saw a lot, from the suits and gadgets that Batman and Robin will use to fight crime, to the missions where you'll take control of some of their arch-nemeses and go toe-to-toe against Gotham's finest. And although we can't yet say how it ...

PSP Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

PSP Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

The decision to immortalise the wise-cracking hero in LEGO form is clear: the Indiana Jones films are almost as iconic as Star Wars, and their cheeky humour runs parallel with the tongue-in-cheek approach of the recent LEGO games. With the building blocks already in place from the Star Wars games, it hasn’t been too difficult for Traveller’s Tales to whip the engine into shape and recreate the original three films in a style fit for ...

LEGO Indiana Jones - first look

PSP Preview | LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

If you thought last week’s trailer for the fourth Indiana Jones film felt a little flat with its combo of CG locales and one very old Harrison Ford, then you’d be happy to hear that you can trust LEGO Indiana Jones as a better outlet for your nostalgia. Developed by Traveller’s Tales - the team behind LEGO Star Wars - Indy will traverse locales from each of the first three films, while embracing youngsters who aren’t ...

LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy - hands-on

PSP Preview | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Hands-on time with LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy only confirms what you already knew: If this adorable game does not make you smile, you have no soul. Of course, cute ain't everything, and that's the real reason why our time traipsing through Episodes IV (A New Hope) and V (The Empire Strikes Back ) in a preview version of this Xbox 360 action/adventure was so satisfying. Not only is the game almost huggable (all these warm-fuzzy screens are taken from the Xbox 360 version), it's a ...

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

PSP Preview | Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

Friday 11 August 2006 The original Lego Star Wars on PS2 had its flaws, but we loved it to little plastic bits. So the shock news isn't that Traveller's Tales is developing a sequel based on the original trilogy, but that it looks almost as good on PSP - you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference, bar the fine detail - with a handful of unique features that you won't find in the full-fat PS2 version. Challenge mode is the most notable new feature. In this you play through timed versions of ...
