As I was checking out Sony's various offerings for my E3 2009 previews, I saw a sign for this game and thought I'd spend like three minutes checking it out before passing it off to a minion. I ended up playing for an hour (oops). A spin-off of Echochrome, this PSP puzzler uses simple concepts in a wonderfully brain-teasing way. The art is simple and cool, while the challenge can get pretty intense. The basic goal of the game is to get from one side of the room to the other. How you do that can get really complicated and after every level I cleared, I was left with a satisfying sense of reward."
With the launch of the PSPgo in Japan this Sunday, it seems that we will be getting a fresh crop of demos and games to go along with it. Continuing reading to see what awaits on the Japanese PlayStation Store this weekend.
WorthPlaying contacted SCEA to find out if it planned to match the PSPgo Rewards program announced by SCEE this morning and was told that Sony had no plans at this time to match the European offer.
"There hasn't been any announcement yet that there will be an equivalent rewards program for North America..."

This is sad .. the Euros are getting stuff, and here in the US they havent even figured out the UMD issue yet either.
Don't they realize this thing is coming out like SOON
Like the Escher drawings on which it was inspired, the cerebral puzzle play of download-only echochrome could be seen as a brilliant game or frustrating endeavour . There's one point to be conceded regardless of your view on the game and that's it's uniqueness. That inventive spirit yields a successor in echochrono, another frustratingly brilliant puzzler that is sure to tickle some brains and have other scratching their heads.
