Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords just came out, which rocks, and XSEED just announced they are bringing to the US, Brave Story and Chronicle of Dungeon Maker (re-titled DUNGEON MAKER:

"Beyond the door you can change your destiny"
An original title created specifically for
the PSP system and developed by Game Republic
(Genji series), BRAVE STORY: NEW
TRAVELER features beautifully
rendered 3D graphics, an epic tale with a
host of colorful supporting characters, and a
traditional turn-based battle system easy for
beginners to pickup and play but with enough
depth and innovative features for seasoned
gamers.
The Story
On a day that starts out like any other, an
11-year-old boy's life is changed forever. As
the main character and his friend Miki pass a
leisurely afternoon, Miki suddenly collapses
from an unknown illness. When the girl shows
no sign of waking, the main character grows
distraught over not being a better friend and
not having the means to save her.
Suddenly, a strange voice offers him a
second chance: "Beyond the door you can
change your destiny!" He soon leaves the real
world and journeys to the world of Vision,
where, as a novice "Traveler," he will
surmount myriad ordeals in hopes of
ultimately meeting with the Goddess of
Fortune to have a single wish granted.
Valuable friendships, unbounded courage, and
his own personal growth will all prove
indispensable as he seeks out his destiny: a
life-changing adventure and the discovery of
a hero inside an ordinary kid.
Key Features
* A role-playing game with an epic tale,
introducing unique characters with distinct
personalities and leading the player through
the imaginative world of Vision as he learns
to become a hero.
* Traditional turn-based battle system
enhanced by innovative features based on the
story's themes of friendship, courage, and
growth:
Friendship - Form bonds
with party
members to create new, cooperative
skills.
Courage - Use "brave power"
(BP) to unleash powerful special abilities,
continually refilling the gauge as you
devastate the enemy.
Growth - The hero's main
weapon will evolve as he collects the
gemstones needed to meet with the Goddess of
Fortune. New
accessories can be forged by collecting and
combining the right materials. Each character
can also unlock a one-of-a-kind innate
ability.
* Beautifully rendered 3D graphics with
vibrant colors and a distinct visual style,
highlighted by polished character and enemy
movement, graphical representations of sound
effects, and a unique animation for each
special ability - all exceptionally well
drawn and intricately textured.
* Collect special birds which you can use
in mini-games or trade in for rare and
precious weapons, armor, and items.
* Network with friends to trade your
birds, or game-share a mini-game to have
friends assist in capturing rare birds.
BRAVE STORY: NEW TRAVELER is scheduled for
release in Q3 2007.Labels: PSP
