PSPgo Launches, Minis Arrive News

With Sony's PSPgo launching worldwide today, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has released details of the 13 PSP Minis games that will be launching via the PlayStation Store today for the PSPgo and all previous PSP consoles.

Alien Havoc: Sounds like a platformer with ZX Spectrum homebrew sensibilities from developer Creat Studio. As an alien trying to transport cows onto your spaceship, you must avoid the attentions of farmers trying to stop you.

Bloons: This puzzle game from Hands-On Mobile focuses its gameplay around popping balloons.

Brainpipe: We've never heard of a game that challenges users to navigate the tunnels of their own mind, but apparently this is what Hands-On Mobile's Brainpipe does (fibre optic cable not included).

Breakquest: It's from developer Beatshapers and it's a bit like Breakout as far as we can tell.

Fieldrunners: Classic tower defense from Subatomic Studios.

Fortix: More tower defense action, this time from Nemesys Team Studio.

Funky Punch: Sounds like a fighter with a rhythm game twist - Solus Games.

Hero of Sparta: If you want God of War in a PSP Mini, this is probably what you should go for (from developer Gameloft).

Kahoots: Platforming action featuring different types of blocks and an arch-nemesis called Cardborg (from Honeyslug Limited).

Pinball Fantasies: Port of a classic Amiga pinball game by Cowboy Rodeo Limited.

Puzzle Scape Mini: As you might expect, it's a puzzle game with blocks, although there are colourful backgrounds as well by developer Farmind.

Tetris: The block-based puzzler that started it all (EA).

Vempire: Some sort of strategy puzzler by Impressionware SRL. Players collect artefacts and powers to negotiate levels with monsters in them.
