When the PSP GO launched in North America on October 1st, 2009, the PlayStation Network Store was updated with a ton of PSP specific content.
UMD Legacy titles such as the Sega Genesis Collection, Sonic Rivals and God of War: Chains of Olympus, hit the network alongside the long awaited PSP edition of Gran Turismo. Another great addition was adding a library of budgeted, smaller PSP games.
Apple's iPhone/iTouch has a vast variety of unique, budget style games available numbering in the thousands. Development is very cheap for Apple's platform, so cheap in fact you can get cracking at it right HERE. Wow! That wasn't so hard, was it?
Sony saw a great opportunity in this new market and introduced their version entitled PSP Minis. This library has grown significant over time. I'll start reviewing some of these little pieces of heaven.
Monster's (Probably) Stole My Princess is an old school, action packed platformer in which you star as The Duke, aka Dracula. In it you take down giant monsters who (probably) stole your princess. The Duke jumps atop ledges as the monsters climb high to escape. Each ledge you jump on acquires a bonus point. This increases if you don't jump on the same ledge twice. As you climb higher and higher, attacking the monster with a third strike defeats him. The levels are intense as one tries to acquire a high bonus while attacking a quickly escaping monster.
Production value's are high. Beautifully animated creatures and detailed environments are all here. The audio is also impressive. This Mini is definitely worth it's $4.99 admission price. It is great stuff.
