Don't have a PSP yet? I know its been getting a lot of backlash from the gaming media and some gamers out there (and Sony has had its share of mess-ups), but I actually have fun on the system. Games I recommend on it are Capcom Classics, Wipeout Pure, Field Commander, Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins, Valkyrie Profile Lenneth, Burnout Revenge, Lumines, Metal Gear Ac!d 2 and GTA. I'm curious to see how this FPS game is handled, as that has been a genre that has not been too successful on the PSP. Maybe when Sony lowers the PSP to around $150 or so more people will open up to it.
Ooh, Maybe A Reason To Get A PSP!

Alright, that was a little harsh, but this game looks like it may drive people to the PSP. After the major bust that was LocoRoco, Sony does need something to attract people to the PSP, and this may be it. If this fails, the PSP V2 better have some awesome features, or they are going ot be left in the dust of the DS Lite.
