There's a strong argument that the PSP needs more games like Killzone Liberation. It doesn't feel like a forced experience similar to certain titles that seem to flare up on the portable console. The top-down view works perfectly and the game mechanics don't choke when things get hasty on the buttons.
The demo I got my hands on was good at providing a glimpse into the prowling nature of the game. You walk silently and carry heavy hardware, spotting an enemy and dispatching him as needed. They aren't just dummies either. The enemies require more firepower to take out than you would initially expect.
This makes you consider strategy a bit more. Running through with guns blazing won't always do the trick. You'll have to duck behind crates and consider an angle of attack. Because of this, the pace is steady and unwavering, so don't expect a raw shoot-em-up. Liberation is definitely worth checking out for gamers interested in this type of gameplay.

You can't say anything good, can you? Even a good looking new game, you make the comment "There's a strong argument that the PSP needs more games like (this..."
You guys have made this site the laughing stock of the PSP community, just FYI.

I'm with pixelator.
You are hardly reporting E3 (your biggest news source of the year) and I don't think you even read the comments we post. Come to think of it, I don't even know why I'm posting my comments here anyway.

I'm totally with you guys up there! This site is getting crap now, this keeps me thinking why these guys set up this PSP fanboy site?? Are they the REAL PSP fanboy or they are just some stupid DS fanboy idiots out there trying to ruin the PSP with whatever possible oppurtunity? I'm totally dissapointed with how POOR this site reporting the E3 events on PSP, there are tonnes of good news/games for you to report (like other sites do!), why can't you do/say something positive?? If all this keeping on like that, you better shut this site up and RIP then!!!

They deleted at least one of my previous posts in the Coded Arms sour-grapes-rag-fest. I reposted it... Wonder if they removed it again.
If they spent as much time bitching and deleting criticism, maybe we'd see more PSP coverage. No wonder they're looking for people to write for them.

Most of Weblogs, Inc advertisement and capital come from Microsoft
You will never get decent news about Sony on any of the Weblogs sites:
This includes:
Joystiq
Engadget and the rest of the ones mentioned below.
If you truly are a PSP fanboy check out psp.qj.net which is really pspupdates.com, here is where you get the latest and greatest psp news plus somewhat objective reviews. These guys have a hard time paying their bills if they dont post negative things about Sony products

its not really sony fault even. well partly anyway. lokk at all the content available for the psp. most of the good titles are made by sony. sony IS trying to push good software, but publishers just want to port and make a quick buck. as the current gen dies off, theres less to port and less opportunity to make that quick buck, and its more feasable ot make an original or gba quality game for the ds to make money.
its not sonys fault, theyre trying. but sony was the one that goofed with the powerful hardware. nobody could have really seen that coming though.
try importing loco roco. good stuff there.
(oh no, its like a handheld dreamcast thats only good for imports!)
sony, please fix this.

Even if the comments they have are a little sour, you can't tell me that what they said wasn't true. The recent psp games have just been ports from the PS2, just remade to fit the controls and appeal to the PSP fanboys. We DO need more original and better games for the PSP.
