It looks like I will be playing the PSP more often. I can't wait to get Innocent Life. I am a big fan of the HM games and this one looks fun. Also I thought Brave Story was to come out before Dungeon Maker: Hunting Ground from XSeed but I see no word on that game.

Humm... I thought when it said "Sony unveils its official Q2 lineup" I would find some reference to the GPS accessory. Oh well... game lineup looks decent.
Been seeing all these releases for PSN and XBLM of retro games... how they can't think to open a PSP store for this stuff I just don't know. Storage footprint for some of the material should be quite small. Guess they should work out the PS1 issues before they start looking at other stuff... sigh.

Srry to break it to you, but this new HM is bad.. really bad. Other then being hella easy (I had like 200k g in the first year, enough to buy the most expensive item like 100 times over) no marriage love or anything. The festivals in this game are lame.. There like 2 minutes long.. The story line is even worse.. You gotta farm to save an island from a volcano. I've also read a few reviews and they also gave HM bad ratings.

Awww man. Haha. I thought they'd never release Ridge Racer Remix (it's just not enough to call it a sequel). Good thing I got it for 20 and some change from Play-Asia.
I'm really excited about Crush and hoping that Alien Syndrome doesn't suck. Needed an online mode though.

Okay, so I take it Spidey 3 is definatly coming out in May? Because for the last month, my local GameStop and EB Games have it pushed back all the way to November for the PSP.

Dude, Harvest Moon: Innocent Life's already out in EU. Haven't people read up on the hands-on reviews? It's quite good from what I've read, and it looks the part. Not for me though.
I'm looking forward to Coded Arms; Rainbow Six; GRAW 2; Alien Syndrome; Transformers (after heavy analysis of reviews); Spider Man 3, and uh. Yeah, that's about it for now. Damn, that's a lot!

I know I'll get Coded Arms even though the first one was mediocre, and also likely try the new Generation of Chaos game. I'm choosing to 'wallet protest' the FF games ...
But the one I'm really dying for is D&D Tactics!

Coded Arms looks sweet (online play and "real" levels should brighten up this title), Rainbow Six looks promising, Tomb Raider might be fun, Driver 76 has the possibility of being awesome, and Spider-man 3 I believe is set in a free-roaming world, which is definitely a plus!
But how am I gonna afford all of this? *cries*

The original Coded Arms was great, but just overshadowed by some glaring flaws. People complained about the control scheme - it had the ideal control scheme, but the badly programmed'targest assist' actually made things worse. The rest were deeper issues of bland, sterile, overly simplistic levels with no real story element per se.
This version seems to have made ample revisions to the aforementioned flaws, which should make for a fun sci-fi FPS experience on the PSP. Furthermore, it's online, which means I get the opportunity to frag some of you (not really, but still).
I admit that the list if indeed a hefty one; I've saved up a bit in anticipation of some of these titles.
