Originally a Japan-only PS2 title, Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time brings its tactical role-playing action, ring-based weaponry, character relationships, and multiple endings to North America for the first time, complete with updated visuals for the PSP. Players take control of Crevaniel, a young man attempting to protect his world from marauding angels bent on destruction. Gamers explore towns and dungeons from an isometric perspective, forming a four-party crew from 11 different characters, and engaging in real-time battles.

In combat, players equip special rings that produce unique weapons and can be upgraded or enhanced with more than 100 types of gems. There are more than 40 different endings in Wayfarer of Time, and the conclusion players see is dependent upon the relationships they forge with other characters through conversations, going into battle, and even vacationing together. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

Sony's twisted take on "capture-the-flag" multiplayer action makes its way to the PSP with all the original maps and six new battlefields in Fat Princess: Fistful of Cake. Players once again put on different hats to switch between the five character classes -- Worker, Warrior, Ranger, Mage, and Priest -- in an attempt to capture an overweight royal whose ever-increasing girth makes "rescue" a difficult task. Online action lets two teams of four go head-to-head in Ad-hoc or Infrastructure mode, and there are now 14 multiplayer maps in which to do battle. Each class has special weapons and abilities, and the hat machines, weapons, and castles can be upgraded by using resources collected by Workers. Fistful of Cake features an extended single-player mode, and new multiplayer modes include "Grim Ripper," "Dilapidated," "Demolition," and "Jailbreak." ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
