Even with a killer app like Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories now available, the PSP is still in dire need of content (as outlined in Issue #96). One great title can sell the system, but that’s still not enough to make the system last in the eyes of gamers. Fortunately, the situation isn’t quite as grim in Japan, as the Tokyo Game Show had a lot of PSP content on display. Some games are already confirmed for American release, while others looked innovative and pushed the PSP in wacky directions but will likely not make it out of their homeland. So while you’re stuck pondering whether to plunk down $40 for a copy of Stealth on UMD (!), Japanese gamers will be choosing from a variety of creatively charged games that, frankly, make us jealous.
