What? A PSP game that isn't called LocoRoco finally wins an award? Japan's most popular gaming magazine, Famitsu, recently unveiled their Famitsu Awards winners. PSP earned a valuable nod by stealing the "Best Portable Game" award with Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Kojima's latest adventure certainly earns the award, with some spectacular graphics and a deep single and multiplayer gaming experience.While PSP fans can celebrate this victory, it should be noted that Final Fantasy XII (PS2) and Pokemon Diamond & Pearl (DS) both won Game of the Year.

>but I can understand why you wouldn't like the concept.
of course I liked the concept.. 8 YEARS AGO!
time for something new. even FF Fables was able to summon up some sort of 3 d battling animation.
I mean, 5 million sold in Japan, if people are buying, why would Nintendo even bother to try anything new?

Hahaha! Kingofwale wins my vote. Yes, majority might be authority, but they can certainly be messed up in their choice/brand of authority due to their weak social egos and associated malleability. The same can be said about this place, if you view this blog as one large planet/society - we've got our own blind drones who'll literally storm forth to defend nuggets of cow dung.

It still does not matter how many cartridges you use, it will still render graphics that will make your eyes bleed. That aside, I love the game for what it does best. I believe the 2d sprites are adequate as is.
And...has anyone actually gone back and played ff7?
That game looks like crap now! Those types of graphics do not age well (final fantasy 3 ds).
