Title: 源狼 ~GENROH~
Platform: PSP
Genre: Otome
Language: Japanese
Company: Idea Factory
Summary: I wish this game had been available for me to play back in college when I was studying historic Japanese literature. It would’ve helped me in remembering at least the NAMES of important characters from the Tale of the Heike and which side they were on, lawl. Minamoto no Yoshitsune~~~ The game also covers a few important events from the tale that would’ve helped me too. xD

Title: Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Cosmic Drive 機動戦士ガンダムAGE コズミックドライブ
Platform: PSP
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco / LEVEL-5
Summary: I’m comparing this game to Danball Senki like a sore thumb because it just has to be done.

Let me say this upfront: Danball Senki/Boost > this game
This game has a few interface improvements, but for a better experience in all aspects in general, go with Danball Senki.
In all seriousness, just from the sales, Gundam Age hardly sold 36k its first week, compared with Danball Senki Baku Boost which did almost 56k, and that’s just a port (not to mention there were 2 releases of the same game on the PSP which had pretty far more amazing sales for a pilot title). Of course, sales can only say so much. Play and compare both games yourself if you think I’m being overly biased.

But yeah, beat it in less than 13 hours. Someone doing a crazy rush play and skipping all the dialogue/cutscenes should easily be able to do it in less than 10, maybe 5 hours ._.

Like I mentioned earlier, it’s got a few mechanical improvements I’d like to see in the upcoming Danball Senki W game as well (direction pad + L + R also allowed for text scrolling [this was implemented], instant map moving with the Select button, can skip all dialogue screens and not just pre-rendered cutscenes, customizing reserved players without having to change teams), but otherwise it’s just WAY TOO SIMILAR. 8|

From my understanding, the only difference between this and Universe Accel is that Universe Accel has a lot of the older “classic” Gundam series as exclusives, while Cosmic Drive has the more ikemen ones (Wing, SEED, 00). Someone feel free to tell me if there’s more to it. Because otherwise I’m not touching Universe Accel, this game hasn’t interested me enough to do more than one playthrough. XD

Title: Digimon Digital Monsters Re:Digitize
Platform: PSP
Genre: Monster raising, RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: This title is more pet care than RPG, as I feared.
They pretty much tried to mesh in a bunch of different game elements that WOULD’VE worked just fine, until they added the letdown of Digimon World 1 elements.

Please, I don’t want to press the feed button 20 times in an hour of play, and backtrack everywhere just so the Digimon can take a dump.. -_-;

Miiight get back to this… after Time Travelers. But really not likely. After hearing from other people’s experience, I’m not going to bother.
Yes you can get portapotties, but that doesn’t fix the item usage hassle, and the items are using up all my money. Do not want.

I would’ve enjoyed an enhanced port of the Savers PS2 game a million times more. That game had a much better bone to work with.
