If you love Disney and Japanese role-playing games you will be in heaven this week with the release of Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep for the PSP and our competition! The game is a prequel to the hit PS2 games and follows three characters – Terra, Ventus and Aqua as they search through legendary Disney worlds to find Keyblade Master Xehanort. The game is rather lengthy for a portable title as you only see the full story by playing through as all three characters and it also features some of the best graphics you will ever see on the PSP.
To celebrate the release of the game on PSP on September 10th, we have an awesome prize pack up for grabs which features:
An Art Print Pack
A Magnet Set
A Postcard Set
A Special Edition copy of the game!
For your chance to win email richard@epicwinmedia.com telling us who your favourite Disney character is and why. Please include ‘Kingdom Hearts’ in the subject line. Competition open to UK residents only – sorry! Closing date is Friday 17th September 2010.
Good luck, and look out for our Kingdom Hearts:Birth By Sleep review later this week!

Those Angry Birds have got people addicted to taking out pigs on the iPhone and iPad but that’s not enough for our feathered fiends as they are also heading to PS3/PSP, the local toy shop and possibly the cinema! The game has sold over 6 million copies on the iPhone and iPad – an amazing amount and mostly down to incredible word of mouth, attracting many people who don’t usually play games to take an interest and have a go on their phone. Now publisher Chillingo have confirmed the game will be released as a ‘Mini’ for the PS3/PSP, one download from the PlayStation Store that is playable on both platforms – bargaintastic.
Developer Rovio have also been in talks to licence the game to Hollywood and toy companies to fully cash in on the popularity of the game, however a potential stumbling block is that a film would take between 2-3 years to be released, and the game could be long forgotten in that time. Would you see an Angry Birds film, or is there another title on the app store that you would like to have some spin-offs?

eBay game sellers will be taking another hit with the release of Final Fantasy IX on the PlayStation Network. The PSone Final Fantasy games attracted high prices on the second hand market, but now VII,VIII & IX can be picked up through download to play on PS3 and PSP for £7.99 a piece.
I find it quite scary that PSone games are playable on a handheld and will probably hide under a table when a PSP comes out that can play Final Fantasy XIII. That would need some size of memory stick.

The PSP Go has had a hard life with a high price tag, expensive game downloads and missing major games from the PSP library. What would make the system a more attractive purchase? How about 10 free games? MCV are reporting that people who registered a new PSP Go from April 1st will get 10 games including Gran Turismo, LittleBigPlanet and FIFA World Cup. Seems a pretty good deal and hopefully MCV have not got their wires crossed and it is actually one free title from a choice of ten. Expect an update when we get some confirmation.

Hope you haven’t had enough of Kratos as he’s back in God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta coming this year for the PSP. The game is a prequel to God Of War 2, showing how Kratos coped with becoming the God Of War and most importantly how he got his scar on his face. The game is from the makers of his last PSP outing and we are promised that the title will be 25% longer this time, so probably around 5 hours. The last game was great but so short, even for a portable title.
