Half Minute Hero Second - Japanese PSP gameplay

Half Minute Hero Second definitely gets an upgrade in the graphics department.  Although this game is fairly simple in its concept, I am just amazed on the level of popularity it has.  Yes, I got to play the very first Half Minute Hero, but to tell you the truth, I was not that impressed and only played it for the first couple of days.

Half Minute Hero Second is still being worked on as I write this, so it has not been released just yet.  Half Minute Hero Second is published and developed by Marvelous Entertainment.  To my knowledge it is a PSP exclusive game.

Overall it looks very much fun! and those who liked the first edition, are likely to like the second one too.  Enjoy the video down below titled Dark Goddess of Time. :)

Websites For Online Trade In PSP and PSP Games
 
Trade in has become important part of the transactions of exchange on the Internet. The concept of online trades and exchanges is that the people are invited to offer their wares and articles for sale and trade on many places in the Internet. There are many websites and databases, where the articles, such as games and software can be traded, bought and sold to the prospective customers and clients. In fact, people can also trade and carry out transactions of valuables, electronic appliances and gadgets on the Internet. People may get many lucrative benefits and rewards in the exchange of the goods and articles being traded, sold or bought by the other people.

The marketplaces for such articles, valuables and electronic gadgets have shifted to the e-commerce websites and databases. Some of the most popular sites are Amazon, eBay and Best Buy. Some of these websites are ideal places for online auctions and bids. People can sell their articles on these websites and the prospective buyers can bid for a suitable price of these goods. The highest bidder gets to buy the auctioned product. There are other websites, which are far simpler in their approach. These serve as shopping websites and databases for every kind of product. The products are arranged in shopping showrooms and they can be bought easily.

The latest sensation in the field of online shopping websites is the introduction of trade in sales and exchanges. Trade in websites allows people to trade in the products at a reasonable price. In exchange of the traded products, the traders may get some rewards like discount offers for shopping, some cash benefits and other kinds of benefits.

One of the good websites of trade in of PSP and PSP games is the website named as SwapGame. PSP is short for PlayStation Portable. This popular gaming console can be traded in exchange of lucrative discounts and special prices on any shopping done through the website. The procedure is that you will have to find suitable buyers for your old PSP console or your stock of PSP games. Then, you have to send them to them via post. You will get in return the cash offers for online shopping.

There is another good website for trading in the PSP games and consoles. This is the much popular Best Buy website. Here, the people can place the consoles for auction and get the high-paying bids for the products and consoles. In fact, people can also get some really great offers on these articles.

The final choice for the website is yet another famed website for offers on purchases of consoles and PSP games and software programs. This is the eBay website. Here, the original owners of the consoles can trade their consoles for some profitable payments on purchases and sales of these gadgets and games. The articles can be auctioned with suitable prices to bid for. The highest bidder may get to buy the old PSP or PSP games.

Tactics Ogre PSP - Insights and Narrative Tutorial Video


Tactics Ogre is one of the most beloved Strategy RPG titles of all time, with the game being the only one to place in the Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu’s "Top 20 games voted by readers" for 14 years running. Sadly, the original version of the game was never officially published in Europe, however, that is about to be rectified in spectacular fashion.

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, is being reborn from the ground up, with reworked visuals and effects, a re-arranged soundtrack by the original composers, new character growth mechanics and a new Wheel of Fortune system that adds even more replay value to the game.

  • TACTICS series creator Yasumi Matsuno, director Hiroshi Minagawa, character designer Akihiko Yoshida, and composer Masaharu Iwata are reunited to craft their "perfect vision" of Tactics Ogre.
  • Choose, but choose wisely! The choices you make as you lead the Walister Resistance will dramatically change the fates of both your enemies and comrades.
  • Master the nuances of the Non-Alternate Turn System battle engine and unlock the secrets of the Wheel of Fortune - where time itself bends to your will - as you lead your forces to victory.
  • Hundreds of skills, dozens of complex characters, and a wide variety of job classes fill an epic tale that unfolds before you in a fully 3D game environment and cinematic sequences.
  • A multitude of endings determined by side quest completion and player decision-driven plot changes provide nearly endless replay possibilities.

So, by the looks of things, the characters on here are fighting a golem boss or something.  looks good though the video is extremely short.  Grand Knights History for the PSP is developed by Vanilla Ware and published by Marvelous Entertainment.  Still this game's release date is to be announced, but hopefully soon before 2012 perhaps.  The japanese version of the game at least, no clue if this will go beyond Japan.  Looks like a good RPG, though it is too early to say with the short preview here:

Best PSP Repair Services Online

You're not out of luck if your PSP falters. There are many ways to find a repair service online and get back to gaming. Below are some of the best PSP repair services online.

iResQ.com
One way to get your PSP repaired is through the services of iResQ. iResQ offers repairs for most of the common issues PSP owners are faced with: Joystick repair, UMD laser repair, mother repair, and of course, screen repair. All of the repair options are also supplemented with options to replace the components if they are beyond repair. On top of all of this, iResQ also offers free diagnostic services for your PSP. If you do not know what’s wrong with the unit, just ship it to them, and the company will contact you within 24 hours to let you know what the problem is and discuss your options. Prices for repairs vary based on the repair, but are very reasonable. A screen repair will only cost $89, while a simpler joystick repair will cost $39.

TechRestore.com
TechRestor offers similar functionality to iResQ, but their options aren’t as broad and the pricing isn’t as flexible. The repairs offered are for the screen, issues reading games, and issues with a button or joystick not functioning. The company does not explicitly offer any diagnostic options. They do have an option to select “Other” when describing your problem, so getting a repair for something other than what they overtly mentioned may be a possibility. All repairs are $89, plus a minimum shipping fee of $10, so any repair will cost a minimum of almost $100.

PDASmart.com
PDASmart offers a range of PSP repair options. The company offers the typical options, such as screen, UMD door, laser assembly, and a battery replacement. The company’s prices are among the most competitive rates available. A screen replacement through the mail-in service, for instance, will only cost $60. This rate is significantly cheaper than some other services. In addition, the company also offers the option to purchase the part and perform repairs yourself. This option isn’t for everybody, but can be a money saver for the more enterprising PSP owners out there.

PS-Pros
Another company that might be worthy of your consideration is PS-Pros.com. The site repairs not just PSP’s, but also PlayStation 3’s and PlayStation 2’s. PS-Pros offers a fast turnaround time of only 1-2 business days, and includes a 90 day warranty with all repairs. On top of this, they offer upgrade services for your PSP as well. The company boasts to have successfully repaired over 95% of their orders. They offer a free diagnostic service, but you won’t know the price until you send it in and have it looked at. PS-Pros states that prices range from $59.99 to $119.99. The prices are all-inclusive, meaning that parts and labor are included in those figures.

Mission: Repair
If, for some reason, the other sites mentioned aren’t what you’re looking for, you can try MissionRepair.com. The company is moderately well-known and has a good reputation. If you’re insecure with using the other sites, maybe Mission: Repair’s reputable status is for you.

Llamma.com
Llamma is a website that’s been around for awhile, and been a valuable resource to do-it-yourselfers. The site mentions offering PSP repairs, but that appears to have been discontinued. However, it’s still a great resource if you’re not comfortable with mailing out your PSP. Llamma sells many parts at a reasonable rate. In addition, they offer several tutorials for specific issues, as well as a universal disassembly guide. The tutorials are over four years old, so newer models with different builds may differ slightly from what’s listed in the tutorials. However, the knowledge within them can still be useful to someone that trusts their tech skills.

Craigslist
One final alternative is Craigslist. If you don’t want to mail your PSP off to some stranger, but you also don’t have the technical know-how to fix your PSP on your own, then Craigslist is a very viable option. Simply go to your city’s page, or the nearest city that Craigslist offers a page for. Once there, use the search tool on the left side of the page and simply search for “PSP repair,” either under the For Sale or Services category. In larger cities, you’ll find different vendors offering their services. Even if the city you’re searching in is small, you may still have luck finding someone to repair it. Craigslist offers the advantage of being able to be present while your PSP is repaired. Additionally, since most people offering repairs on the site are working independently, you might get your repair done for cheaper than most companies.

Growlanser IV Over Reloaded PSP Japanese Video

One of the good things I can say about this game is that the anime scenes are looking amazing!  Just by it anyone could think that this more an anime than a PSP game.  looks like a good RPG though I have not followed this series being this #4, sorry never heard of it, and perhaps we in North America will not see it, as it will only be for the Japanese audience.  It brought my attention that a character in this game resembles Sephiroth so much lol.... Growlanser IV OverReloaded for the PSP is published by Atlus, Developed by Career Soft.  Enjoy the video trailer :D
