Phantasy Star Portable, where did you go? After making a stunning debut, we haven't heard from you at all. Well, the game is getting readied for a July launch in Japan -- at least according to Japanese retailer Rakuten. Let's hope that Sega opens the doors of information, and doesn't prepare a strangely stealthy release for what looks to be one of the more exciting games coming in PSP's library.

meh, probably this one will be good, I only played PSU, the controls were horrible, and so was the combat system, but then again, I heard that PSU wasn't as good as PSO....
