Why is selling Japanese PSPs in Europe a horrible thing? This lawsuit makes no sense. Also, the line about safety standards made me boggle. What, are Japanese products liable to explode every once in a while, and the Europeans won't take no guff with that? How dangerous is a PSP?

On another note, Steambot Chronicles (Probably the most interesting recent release you'll never hear of) is something different and good. It's like they combined the freeform system of sidequests and storyline quests of GTA (You can play music on the side of the road for tips, you can transport goods, you can even invest in stock, as well as following the main story), with a sort of Steampunk/Anime world (The whole game has the feel of watching an Anime show) where instead of cars, walking vehicles called "Trotmobiles" are the most popular vehicles because of their versitility. Your Trotmobile is your main system for interacting with the world (Fighting baddies, getting from city to city, mining or transporting goods to sell back in towns), and is highly customizable as well (There seem to be a large number of parts for sale that either grant your Trotmobile new abilities, or just upgrade the ones they come with). The only thing marring it is the control system for your Trotmobile uses both joysticks which is horribly, horribly awkward (In the heat of battle my vehicle tends to flip out because it feels like it should use a Left Stick = Movement, Right Stick = Camera system, and you need both sticks to move, like in Katamari Damacy).

Overall, I would recommend anyone interested to rent it and decide if the controls are something you can overcome to play a pretty original game.

And, at long last, DQ2 falls.

Good lord, that last boss was hard. Damn, I had to revive party members every two turns (if not every turn)it felt like.


Now for 3.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

I'm just gonna guess it has something to do with the Europlug and the differences in voltages, etc. It's why you often need to get new cords and adaptors when in europe. I know my brother had to deal with a hassle like that for his laptop.

Beat the first part, then I did Daredevil's comic book mission...which you actually have to do IN THE DARK like you're blind.

Pretty much, you can see enemies in infared.

It's only in his comic mission, in the normal missions you play as him in the light.

Following that line of thought, the Hulks comic mission would be fun.

Too bad Hulk's not playable.

Also, characters like Ghost Rider and Blade aren't available from the start, which I like because they're not like the normal heroes. Blade you have to rescue in Murderworld and Ghost Rider from Mephisto.

You get him at Mandarin's Palace.

I'm only on the second level, it's a pretty lenghty game.

Egads Spider Woman's first costume is...I think Spidey(man) has every right to be indifferent towards her
