Playstation Blog: Hi Everyone Here is this weeks update for the digital comics store on the PSP. There are now over 2000 comics to choose from!

Check out some new screenshots of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

PSP sees sales surge following one two punch of Monster Hunter and Ace Combat.

Andriasang: vMonster Hunter Portable 3rd’s release date was announced just today. But Capcom isn’t waiting to get the marketing started. The company revealed today its lineup of goods sales for the Tokyo Game Show, and MHP3rd is featured heavily.

Resolution’s Jennifer Allen writes: The first Persona on the Playstation One was never released in Europe. However, with this PSP re-envisioning, Europe gets a chance to see just how the Persona series began. Its rather nice actually as it means us Europeans get a superior version to the North American release of the game all those years ago. The difficulty level has been restored to its harsh beginnings and the Snow Queen Quest is back having been cut for the US release. Even the cut scenes and score have been remastered making it a lovely package all round. Its impossible to deny that Persona has certainly aged in its appearance, at a formidable 14 years old, but look past the ugly exterior and its still oozing with potential. Its the kind of game that you pretty much have to play if you say you like JRPGs. As a slice of history, it has its place. However, its place isnt as an appropriate start to the Persona series any more.

Square Enix released today the demo of the highly awaited Lord of Arcana exclusively on the PSP.

Square Enix has a new music compilation, entitled Symphonic Fantasies music from Square Enix” set to be released just a few weeks from now.

This newly announced music compilation features the likes of Kikuta Hiroki (Secret of Mana), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts), Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) and Mitsuda Yasunori (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears), all working together to create a compilation that includes the most famous Square Enix music and themes.

Digital Spy writes: “When the renowned Final Fantasy director Yoshinori Kitase announces a new gaming undertaking, the entire industry takes note. His latest endeavour, PSP project The 3rd Birthday, may not be as high-profile as his work on Square Enix’s flagship series, but it’s sure to make a splash in the handheld sector. We caught up with Kitase at gamescom to find out more.”

With a new Twisted Metal game on the way, it’s a great time to check out the start of the series. However, if you’re a new gamer or simply followed the brand name, you may be unaware of a couple gems made by the leaders in car combat.

It’s actually fun. Surprisingly fun. But it’s just got the one trick, really (or two, if you consider both left and right their own tricks).

And that’s the thing, really. You’ll either really like Coconut Dodge for the addictive score-chase, or you’ll be bored with it’s one mechanic. Buy accordingly.
