Half-Minute Hero Review

IGN has reviewed Half-Minute Hero, an upcoming PSP game that requires gamers to complete quests in half a minute or less. The review is very positive, saying that:

"...the impending release of Half-Minute Hero is currently at the top of the list of reasons why it's a great time to be a PSP owner. Sure, the PSPgo is here and Sony's got some big first party stuff coming soon in Jak and Daxter, SOCOM, and LittleBigPlanet, but Half-Minute Hero is just days away, cheap, funny, built for short play sessions, and clever as all hell. 

In short, thank you for reading this review. Buy this game. "

The reviewer enjoyed the music and different gameplay modes and especially enjoyed Hero 30 mode. However, there were a few minor complains about the game:

"There aren't many "Sadly…" moments in Half-Minute Hero, but there are a few dings in this otherwise awesome affair. Although I dig the 8-bit styling of the title, the menus could use a bit of sheen because they do come off a bit too basic; this is the same for the odd blue load bar that pops up on a gray background when you try to load a mode. I could've also done for a better way at connecting the stories. In the beginning, Hero 30, Princess 30, and Evil Lord 30 are all unlocked, so I wasn't aware that they were really connected. I just started hopping between them, and it wasn't until I finished one of them that I realized there was a strong link."

 The reviewer gave Half-Minute Hero a 8.8/10. The game comes out on October 13th.

Funky Punch Review

IGN has reviewed the downloadable fighter for the PSP, Funky Punch. They have some positive things to say about the game, declaring:

...the game has been cleaned up from the iPhone edition. The on-screen buttons and pad have been completely banished and the fighters are slightly better constructed and the animations also appear somewhat smoother.

However, they aren't thrilled with the game either, adding that:

Funky Punch feels like somebody just wanted to either set a fighting game or at least three iPhone games on to the Mini list for launch. This is not a terribly strong brawler. It is far too easy to button mash your way to victory and the majority of the fighters are vanilla. Though mildly improved from the iPhone edition, Funky Punch rests at the bottom of the Mini list. Apply your download dollars elsewhere.

 They gave the game a score of 5.5/10.
