R-Type Command is an excellent strategy game that's nearly killed by its slower-than-bearable pace. Strategy gamers, though likely frustrated and contemplating an exit strategy, will want to endure the monotony to reap the benefits: engrossing combat, great levels, and larger-than-life boss battles.

This game is a turn-based strategy game with a hexagon field, you move your units according to their stats. This game is by no means a pick up and play game.
The controls are not the issue in this game, the menus are crazy hard to understand and the objectives seem to be missing in action sometimes or disappear too fast for you to read it all.

ATLUS should get its own PSN Publisher Store if they keep on pumping out games on the PSN. SO far, EA(EA SPORTS), Capcom and R* got their own store.
They should put Demons Souls on the PSN store. It may be a huge, expensive download but it beats never finding a copy of the game.

Although Sony did experience a slowdown in sales of PSP software during 2008, the year was filled with some very high-profile quality releases. Grab a cup of egg nog, strap on the yuletide cheer, and get ready as we count down the best 10 PSP games of 2008:
