When I first learned Knights in the Nightmare is coming to the PSP, I was immediately concerned. How could something that so highly required the touchscreen of the DS transfer to the PSP? I could easily imagine it being ported to the iPod Touch or iPhone. But ported to the PSP? I just could not imagine it. Atlus was kind enough to show us a working demo of the game.

I picked Let’s Draw! off the list of available games for review because I have an 8-year-old niece that loves to draw; she doesn’t follow directions too well, as we were to see, but she loves to draw. I handed the DS to her without the instruction booklet to see if the game was written for little kids or if an adult would be required to help.

I do not understand how cars work or any other object that requires a fair amount of technical knowledge. Of course, the automobile industry seems to like it this way as the only ones who can truly fix them are mechanics. Gone are the days the average person could tinker with his or her car to his or her heart’s content. Yet, I don’t have a problem with this. If I fixed my car, it would probably end up as one heck of a mess. And that’s a rather pleasant way to describe Zombie Driver on the PC.

I’m staring at this review and wondering why I played this game in the first place. I like space games, believe me I do! But Gratuitous Space Battles isn’t my cup of tea. I expected something that would face off huge space battles but not what turned out to be a tinkers game. I can say it’s an unusual type of game that seems to have its own genre and followers.

What is so downright enjoyable about No More Heroes that it has caught my eye? There is nothing quite like it. There is this insane, downright hilarious and simple world waiting to be explored. Yet it is like everything else out there, too. It takes tropes from every other game and mishes and mashes them together to create something so outrageous that one cannot help but become absorbed into its world.
