Assassin's Creed, LittleBigPlanet Coming To PSP
Sony unveiled their PSP lineup for 2009 today, and it contains a number of major games and franchies. Assassin's Creed is on the way, as is a portable version of LittleBigPlanet , which will still allow players to share their levels with the community. A Motorstorm game set in Alaska is also coming, and Rock Band: Unplugged is in development as well. "There will not be a peripheral attachment available... Instead, all input is handled by the 'Left,' 'Up,' 'Triangle,' and 'Circle' buttons. The player can switch between guitar, drums, bass, and "vocals" (although he won't physically be singing, merely tapping buttons) using the L and R shoulder buttons. ... The player can actually choose to switch instruments at anytime, but switching prematurely will cause him to lose his multiplier."
Um...I read Will Durant's 10 volume "Story of Civilization" primarily while having my breakfasts in the morning and on my lunch hour. It took about a year. It's ten times the length of War and Peace.
(I read War and Peace itself on a Palm Pilot mostly on my commute on the train. It took about a month and a half)
Most portable games are more tailored to shorter gaming sessions. Chains of Olympus, I finished partly on a business trip and partly on my train commute. I specifically keep the PSP around precisely *because* it is engrossing. When I've had a crap day and don't want to face the commute, a good game came make the time just fly by.
