There was once a time when the romantic comedy ruled the silver screen, and there was also a time when platformers were the hottest ticket in gaming. These days, however, the emphasis is on horror titles and shooters, and games that require you to jump, attack and wander across the screen are in short supply. For those few holdouts, Atlus is trying its best to provide you with a jumping, smacking fix via Hammerin' Hero for the PSP."

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.

Play-Asia is now offering Pump It Up EXCEED Portable for free if you purchase a copy of Atlus' fun-looking platformer Hammerin' Hero..
Pump It Up EXCEED Portable, the Korean-made rhythm game is also given away free if you purchase Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs...

Such was my response when the cashier at my local retailer asked me why I picked up Hammerin' Hero for the PSP, an obscure Japanese title brought over by Atlus. A throwback to the old Hammering Harry titles, the game is a 2.5D platformer touting stylish visuals, a wacky storyline, and an old school difficulty level. Remarkable on some levels and mediocre on others, Hammerin' Hero rises above its obscurity to become a title worth checking out for fans of classic 2D platforming."
This game is super fun, it's one of those quirky games that keep you smiling!
