Diehard GameFAN: Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time Review

DHGF: Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time, as one of the last releases for the PSP, is also one of the better ones, as it offers a solid real time strategy RPG experience to players that’s lengthy and robust, if you can ignore the odd issue or two along the way. The plot is engaging, varied, and staffed with enough compelling characters to carry the game along well, and the game looks and sounds good on the PSP. The gameplay does a good job of making itself easy to grasp on a basic level, but offers enough tools and mechanics as the game goes on to expand on your strategic options quite a bit as you progress. There’s a good amount of length to the main campaign, a large amount of extra content floating around for those who are interested in exploration, and a fully functional New Game Plus option built in that offers a whole new ending and as little or as much challenge as you’re interested in with some minor planning beforehand. The pacing can be awkward in the first ten hours or so, the game can be onerous in difficulty if you don’t approach battles the right way, and the game can occasionally be obtuse about what it expects of you. Overall, however, Wayfarer of Time is a fun, challenging and robust game, possibly the best in its franchise, and certainly a worthwhile acquisition for genre fans and series fans alike.

10 Games you need to play on the PlayStation TV

From the article, "The PlayStation TV is coming out on October 14, 2014, and this $100 micro-console needs to be on the wishlists of everyone with a PlayStation Plus subscription and spare DualShock 3 lying around. You may have passed on the Vita bandwagon for “reasons,” but now is your chance. The PlayStation TV won’t play every Vita game, but with about 700 games at launch, it’s a platform anyone who’s been stockpiling PSP and Vita Instant Game Library titles needs to pick up. This little box is going to allow you to experience some really great games, and these 10 games alone will make owning a PlayStation TV worthwhile."

No. I want to play none of those games on the PlayStation TV. But I will play Dragon's Crown, Rayman Origins, and God of War.

if you want to play those on a TV, you'll be better off getting a PS3

I have a PS3, but I have the games for the Vita. I want to play the games on the TV and then seamlessly switch it back to the Vita.

The PS3 is great, but it's not nearly as convenient.

The 5 Top PSP Exclusives

Mike G from Twinfinite writes:

Now that the PSP has been discontinued in Japan – it’s best market by far – it’s only a matter of time until the struggling handheld gets the boot in North America and the PAL regions.

That being said, the PSP was one of the most underrated portable consoles released to date. Let’s look back at a few of the excellent titles to be released exclusively for the PSP (in no particular order).

I can't stand articles that have separate pages.

PSP does have a lot of exclusives.

The handhelds last gen definitely seemed to do that more than the consoles.

Wait, why is PSP considered underrated?
