Davis from Denkiphile: "With the Vita out and outshining the original PSP in almost every way imaginable, it’s obvious that the previously powerful portable is on its way out. As with every outgoing Sony system before it, the PSP still has a few tricks up its sleeves and shines with games that are gameplay, rather than graphically, centric. While already more than a year old in Japan, Gungnir finally hits American shores thanks to Atlus and it is one of the best S-RPG experiences gamers will be able to find for the dying portable."
Oprainfall begins their Game of the Year coverage with best DS game, best PSP game, Hottest Guy, Hottest Gal, Best Hero, and Best Villain.
The big upcoming release is Borderlands 2 and we've found a sale on the DLC subscription so you can be ready when those extras start rolling out. None of the big three (Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon) have the console versions discounted, so you'll probably only find deals if you're looking for the PC download. Elsewhere, you can get the new NHL 13 collector's edition for the same price as the standard edition, and Green Man Gaming is really showing THQ some love.
In Norse tradition, Gungnir is the mighty spear wielded by Odin. On the PSP, it’s a newly-Americanized Japanese Strategy RPG brought to North America by Atlus. With its focus on grid-based gameplay and strategy, Gungnir does offer something different for PSP gamers, and that alone makes it worth the attention of JPRG fans.
