Seems like PSP has become puzzle HQ

Wait...so what the hell you do in this game? They announced it then showed some screenshots but there hasn't been anything on it since and it comes out like next week or something.

Looks 1st gen PSOne to me...

I do love puzzlers though, so I'll wait and see with this one.
Why do people always play that card? It obviously does not look like PSOne. Go back and play some PSOne games and you'll see why that's a foolish statement. Looks more like average Dreamcast.
 
It's like the horror of a (2 x size) set of DS screens. Totally ugly, but with a PSP-exclusive silver lining being that its not as blocky. Native resolution please.

It'd be nice if we could add [DS][/DS] [PSP][/PSP] tags.... or if companies would just stop issuing these huge images.

Looks like an interesting game though. I want to know how it works..

Touchy, touchy....

It's definitely sub-par for even the Dreamcast, but it doesn't look like the graphics are too important to the gameplay in this title.

It's just that I'm so sick of people using that 'looks like PSOne' line. It has nothing to do with PSP or any specific platform. I mean, before Contra Shattered Soldier was released, I recall people claiming it looked like PSOne. This has happened far too often and it just shows how awful some folks memories can be.

I suppose its no different than those who claim the PS2 never bested its tech demos...

I suppose this looks more like below-average DC, really. There are a lot of really ugly DC games, though (much more so than this). Don't forget that. I say DC because it suffers from none of the flaws that were always present during the previous gen.

Kwirk is one of my favorite GB games ever released. I'll definitely give Frantix a chance after hearing this.
