PSP PSA: Nihon Falcom's Brandish is now just $10 on the PlayStation Store

I kind of can't believe I'm mentioning the above news here, as I've never played any version of this dungeon-crawler. (It first saw the light of day on some rather ancient Japanese computers--the NEC PC-9801 and the FM Towns, to be exact--in 1991 before being given a second chance on the PC Engine and Super Famicom in 1994.)

Don't take that to mean I'm indifferent to it. In fact, I'm quite interested in it. The only reason I haven't bought some iteration or other of Brandish yet is that I can't decide which one to pick up.



I have narrowed things down a bit, though. Specifically, I'd like to own either a physical, boxed copy of the Japanese PSP release or XSEED Games' recent English localization of it.

Because the former can be acquired for about $20 these days, it's probably my first choice at the moment. Or it would be if the latter weren't just $10 on the PlayStation Store. (It's playable on both PSP and Vita, by the way--in case you're curious.)

A video showcasing the gameplay of this most recent version of Brandish can be found above. After watching it, do any of you think you'll be adding it to your digital PSP or Vita collections?

The PlayStation Store is back up (or, I should buy Claddun: This is an RPG before it goes down again, shouldn't I?)

I'm sure most, if not all, of you PSP and PS3 owners know this already, but just in case you don't: The PlayStation Store is accessible again.

Well, unless you're in Japan, Hong Kong or South Korea. Sony has yet to reveal when the PS Store will be accessible in those regions, sadly.

I was going to hop onto the store tonight in order to make use of Sony's "Welcome Back" package--which allows all existing registered PlayStation Network and Qriocity users to download a pair of games from the PS Store--but I just read that the package is not yet available.


I guess I could access the store and finally buy Claddun: This is an RPG and/or Pac-Man Championship Edition, but I think a better course of action for me would be to save that cash for something more interesting--like Rhythm Tengoku Wii, which is supposed to be released in Japan in the next month or two, or Xenoblade Chronicles, which will be released in Europe in September.

Are any of you planning to go onto the PS Store tonight or this weekend? If so, what are you going to purchase?
