GamingXP: Relaxation, or at least challenge.
"Luxor", "Tetris," "Bejeweled," "Columns" and "Underwater" are all the games of one kind: Dice, time to relax and unwind, and another time paired with a little more action.
A whole lotta bite-sized offerings can be played on any PSP or your PS3 and downloaded directly from the PlayStation Store. Meant to be simple in approach, Minis are nuggets of pure game design, and accordingly they're usually priced quite a bit cheaper than full-blown games. Every week, IGn will be taking a look at what's hit the Store and offering up a simple verdict on the various offerings.

These games appear as small games on the PlayStation Network for one low price. In addition, the developer no more than 100MB to use these games and because of limited space and the low price is why the name Minis created. Almost weekly appearance during the PlayStation Store update new Minis. We received four new Minis were examined recently published."
Diehard GameFAN writer: The demo for Lunar: Silver Star Harmony, the latest iteration of the first Lunar. From the looks of the translation and screenshots, it appears to more closely ape the Playstation version of the game than the Sega CD version, meaning it's going to be the more user-friendly version. XSEED is promising an expanded story as well as some other perks, including – you guessed it – a version of the game with extra perks like a soundtrack CD, so old-timers as well as new fans will be very interested. I can't really say for sure how the demo is, as I'm learning the horrors of trying to remotely update a PSP in a house that doesn't have Wi-Fi, but thankfully, Alex Lucard has put up his own impressions of the demo. As far as the game is concerned, it releases February 23rd, and it is guaranteed to be well reviewed, with Mark B. and possibly Aileen Coe taking their turns on it.
